Here are some common weaknesses that can be associated with older adults:
1. Physical limitations: Older adults may experience physical limitations and reduced mobility due to age-related changes, chronic conditions, or disabilities. This can impact their ability to perform certain tasks or engage in physical activities.
2. Cognitive changes: Some older adults may experience mild cognitive decline or memory impairments associated with aging. This can affect their ability to recall information, learn new things, or perform complex tasks.
3. Health challenges: Older adults are more prone to various health conditions, chronic diseases, and age-related ailments. These health challenges may require ongoing medical management and impact their overall well-being.
4. Sensory changes: Age-related changes can affect sensory functions such as vision, hearing, and taste. Older adults may require assistive devices or accommodations to compensate for these sensory changes.
5. Social isolation: Older adults may be at risk of social isolation and loneliness, especially if they have limited social connections, mobility issues, or have experienced the loss of loved ones. Social isolation can impact their mental and emotional well-being.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
