This study aimed to comprehensively assess the association between potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) and mortality risk in older adults through systematic review and meta-analysis.
High-risk prescribing can have deleterious effects on the health of older people. This study aimed to assess the role of inappropriate prescribing on changes in frailty status over 3 years of follow-up.
Elderly people are at risk of repeated hospitalizations, some of which may be drug related and preventable. In 2011, a group of French healthcare experts selected 5 iatrogenic alerts (IAs), based on criteria identified in a literature search and from their professional experience, to assess the appropriate...
This study aimed to investigate the association between relative hypothermia measured by a wearable device and cognitive function, and to clarify whether relative hypothermia is a useful indicator for preventing poor cognitive function.
This study examines the association between nursing home residents' perceived importance of family involvement in overall care planning and the administration of physical and occupational therapy.
Sarcopenia, a gradual loss of muscle mass and function, has been associated with poor health outcomes. Its correlation with another age-related degenerative process, impaired cognition, remains uncertain. This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether there is an association between sarcopenia and cognitive...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between sarcopenia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly patients with diabetes using the Japanese version of the simple 5-item questionnaire (SARC-F-J).
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker associated with various physiological processes and diseases. Although alkaline phosphatase's impact on health has been extensively studied, its specific relationship with sarcopenia remains unclear.
To date, no consensus has been reached regarding the role of klotho in the development of frailty. This study aimed to examine the relationship between serum klotho and physical frailty and to explore potential age, sex, and racial/ethnic differences, using a large, nationally representative sample of midd...
To explore the association between both self-reported quality and quantity sleep characteristics and frailty status in a large non–sex-specific population of older individuals in Greece.
