(sammanfattning) Stockholm : Karolinska Institutet, 2021. - Aim: The aim of this thesis is to increase the level of knowledge about the content of preventive home visits to older people who are living at home and about how older people who live at home perceive the ageing process; the overall purpose is to contribute knowledge to help develop risk prevention and health-promotion activities within this population. Methods: The setting is three municipalities in Western Norway, representing a small, a medium and a large municipality. Older persons aged 75 and older participated in preventive home visits performed by trained nurses using a questionnaire. The questionnaire included questions and tests on falls, nutrition, polypharmacy and cognitive impairment as well as questions regarding lifestyle, health and medical diagnoses, including medications. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied (Studies I to III), including logistic regression (Study II) and linear blockwise regression (Study III). Study IV used focus group interviews of participants aged 65 and older from the medium and large municipalities. The data was analysed using qualitative content analysis.
