Advances in health care have extended the average life expectancy such that older adults are more likely than ever before to live with medical conditions that may impair their cognitive and decision-making abilities. The competency of older adults to make decisions about their health care and to provide informed consent for treatment and research is an applied issue of relevance to researchers, practitioners, patients, and families. The present article discusses informed consent and competence from ethical, legal, and medical perspectives. Methods of assessing the decision-making competency of older adults are discussed and recommendations are delineated. |
