Learning Objectives: (1) describe how lifestyle medicine interventions align with the 4Ms Framework to improve outcomes in older adults; (2) list practical strategies to incorporate this model into education, clinical workflows, or community programs; and (3) apply principles of health equity when delivering lifestyle interventions that address What Matters, Mentation, Mobility, and Medications.
