No results posted yet for this study

Summary

We hypothesized that the use of anticholinergic medications may precipitate falls differently by frailty status in older adults. Community-dwelling older subjects admitted to the Geriatrics Outpatient Clinic prospectively enter into the study. Frailty status is defined according to the Physical Frailty Phenotype. The drugs are categorized according to the ACB scale

Conditions

  • Frailty
  • Fall
  • Anticholinergic Toxicity

Interventions
