Summary

With increased availability and use of cannabis by older adults aged ≥ 50 years, a rigorous evaluation of the benefits and risks of cannabis use in these individuals is necessary. Our proposed project will investigate whether older adults who initiate cannabis use after the age of 50 are at an increased risk of fall and what are the underlying mechanisms. We will measure motor and cognitive function in older cannabis users and nonusers and we will use positron emission tomography to determine brain activity and how it is associated with fall risk.
