Initial responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have been well assessed and documented. However, the impact of the extended phases of the pandemic, particularly on vulnerable populations, remains unclear. Researchers from Waseda University, Japan, have analyzed trends in healthcare utilization among older adults aged 75 years and above during the prolonged pandemic. The study provides novel insights into healthcare adaptations that can improve accessibility for the elderly while minimizing their crisis-related risk.
