Advancing Geriatric Care in Japan: Integrating the 5Ms Framework With Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment for Enhanced Clinical Practice in a Super-Aged Society.
Japan's phased care model for older adults offers a framework other rapidly aging nations could adapt for person-centered geriatric services.
BACKGROUND: Japan faces unprecedented demographic challenges as the world's most rapidly aging country, with 29.4% of the population aged ≥ 65 (2025) and projections estimating 38% by 2065. The Japan Geriatrics Society supports this model as a guiding structure for phased implementation, workforce development, and ongoing evaluation to enhance the delivery of person-centered geriatric care in Japan.
