The Risk of Falling and Consequences of Falling in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Receiving Different Types of Anticoagulant
ConclusionOlder patients who had comorbidities and were taking amiodarone, diuretics, or short- or medium-acting benzodiazepines had the highest risk of falls. The type and quality of anticoagulation did not seem to affect the risk of falling but did significantly affect survival after the first fall.

Efficacy of Aspirin in the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases and Cancer in the Elderly: A Population-Based Cohort Study in Korea
ConclusionAspirin reduced the risks of MACCE and cancer without increasing the bleeding risk in elderly Koreans with hypertension, T2DM, or dyslipidemia. Moreover, the benefits of the long-term use of aspirin in reducing the risks of MACCE were demonstrated. However, the decision of using aspirin for primary prevention must be carefully made on an individual basis, while estimating the benefit –risk balance of aspirin.

Comparison of the risk for dementia between physicians and the general population: a nationwide population-based cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: Physicians had a lower prevalence for dementia than the general population. The prevalence for dementia in specific subgroups of physicians was higher, which needs to be clarified by further studies. PMID: 31428999 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Isolated complete unilateral ptosis with intact extraocular eye movements
AbstractAn 88-year-old woman presented with a 2-day history of inability to open her left eye with no ocular discomfort or blurred vision. She had a long-standing history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension and stroke disease. Examination revealed an isolated complete left eye ptosis with no pupillary involvement and intact extraocular movements. There were no other neurological deficits and fatigability was not elicited. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed an acute infarct of the left red nucleus. Oculomotor nerve fascicles are widely separated in the midbrain before they exit at the interpeduncular fossa. A dis...

Chronic Physical Conditions, Multimorbidity, and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Low ‐ and Middle‐Income Countries
ConclusionThese results highlight the need to investigate the underlying mechanisms linking chronic conditions and MCI and whether prevention or treatment of chronic conditions or multimorbidity can reduce the onset of cognitive decline and subsequent dementia, especially in LMICs.

Sex differences in metabolic risk indicator of dementia in an elderly urban Korean population: A community ‐based cross‐sectional study
ConclusionsStroke played a primary role as a metabolic risk indicator of dementia in elderly men, while diabetes mellitus and alcohol abstinence were important metabolic risk factors in elderly women. Taken together, the data show that when designing preventative measures against dementia based on metabolic risk, sex needs to be taken into account. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; ••: ••–••.

Characteristics and Incidence of Chronic Illness in Community ‐Dwelling Predominantly Male U.S. Veteran Centenarians
ConclusionIn a large cohort of predominantly male community‐dwelling elderly veterans, centenarians had a lower incidence of chronic illness than those in their 80s and 90s, demonstrating similar compression of morbidity and extension of health span observed in other studies.

Real ‐World Clinical Characteristics and Treatment Patterns of Individuals Aged 80 and Older with Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Results from the ReAl‐life Multicenter Survey Evaluating Stroke Study
ConclusionNearly one‐fifth of individuals with NVAF in this real‐world sample were aged 80 and older. Participants aged 80 and older were more likely to be female and have more comorbidities than those who were younger than 80. Those aged 80 and older with AF were less likely to receive anticoagulants than those who were younger than 80, but having more comorbidities and other individual‐level characteristics may explain this difference. When they were prescribed OACs, participants aged 80 and older had poorer quality of anticoagulation than those who were younger, suggesting opportunities for improvement.

Glycemic control and disability ‐free survival in hypoglycemic agent‐treated community‐dwelling older patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
ConclusionsThese observations show that a too low HbA1c might be associated with a later risk of incident disability as a result of dementia in community‐dwelling older diabetes patients. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; •••: ••–••.

Impact of Polypharmacy on the Rehabilitation Outcome of Japanese Stroke Patients in the Convalescent Rehabilitation Ward.
Conclusion. Polypharmacy interferes with the effect of rehabilitation in stroke patients with CKD. Pharmacists and doctors should make efforts to optimize medications to be able to respond to the outcome of each patient. PMID: 28042484 [PubMed]

Low intakes of carotene, vitamin B2, pantothenate and calcium predict cognitive decline among elderly patients with diabetes mellitus: The Japanese Elderly Diabetes Intervention Trial
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that sufficient intakes of carotene, vitamin B2, pantothenate, calcium and vegetables could help prevent cognitive decline among elderly men with diabetes mellitus. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2016; ••: ••–••.

Age ‐specific risk factors for incident disability in activities of daily living among middle‐aged and elderly community‐dwelling Japanese women during an 8–9‐year follow up: The Hizen‐Oshima study
ConclusionsThe present study showed that a different set of risk factors was associated with incident ADL disability among women aged 40–64 years and women aged ≥65 years. Age‐specific screening and intervention strategies are necessary for effective prevention of incident ADL disability. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2016; ••: ••–••.

Compression of Morbidity Is Observed Across Cohorts with Exceptional Longevity
ConclusionThe similar extension of health span and compression of morbidity seen in NECS and LGP participants with exceptional longevity further validates the utility of these rare individuals for the study of factors that delay or prevent a broad spectrum of diseases otherwise associated with mortality and disability.
