Our eyes, ears and mouth are responsible for some of the most important functions in our daily life. As we age, some of these functions will start to decline. Safeguarding our vision, hearing and oral health is, therefore, essential to our quality of life.
Early detection of functional decline with appropriate treatment and lifestyle changes, will enable us to remain independent and active.
To find out more about upcoming screenings, please go to ‘Project Silver Screen’ in the Health hub See, Hear & Eat Better.
The Be Fit, not Frail frailty programme is conducted in collaboration with Active Ageing Centres (AACs) in Central & North Singapore to help identify and delay frailty progression as we age.
