Gender differences and burden of chronic conditions: impact on quality of life among the elderly in Taiwan.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that women tend to report that their physical health-related QoL is poorer than that of men, and such a difference does not seem to be attributable to the distribution of chronic conditions. Elderly men and women may perceive health-related QoL differently.

Falls in Mexican older adults aged 60 years and older.
This study included 6247 participants and their spouse or partner aged 60 years and older from the Mexican Health and Aging Study, an ongoing longitudinal study (2001-2012) conducted in Mexico. Measures included socio-demographics, falls, physical activity, comorbid conditions, pain, vertigo, vision and hearing impairments, urinary incontinence, lower extremity functional limitation, activities of daily living (ADLs), cognitive function, and depressive symptoms.
RESULTS: Mean age was 69.6 years (standard error = 0.18) and 51.8% were female. Forty percent reported one or more falls at baseline. Older age, being f...

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.

Risk factors for falls among older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in urban and regional communities.
CONCLUSION: Falls were experienced by one-quarter of study participants. Fall risk factors identified for older Aboriginal people appear to be similar to those identified in the general population. Understanding of fall risk factors may assist with the development of appropriate and effective community-led fall prevention programs.

Lower likelihood of falling at age 90+ is associated with daily exercise a quarter of a century earlier: The 90+ Study
Conclusions and Relevancefalls are extremely common among the oldest-old and a significant proportion lead to severe injury. This work is the first to show an association between exercise at age 60 –70s and lower risk of falling at age 90+.

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) and Impaired Physical Function: The Rancho Bernardo Study
ConclusionsDISH was less prevalent in women but affected almost one‐quarter of older white men. People with DISH are more likely to experience physical functional impairment, suggesting that DISH has clinical correlations and is not an incidental radiographic finding.

Multimorbidity is associated with anxiety in older adults in the Health and Retirement Study
ConclusionNumber of medical conditions and specific conditions are associated with increased occurrence of elevated anxiety. Compared with elevated depressive symptoms, anxiety is associated with greater multimorbidity. As anxiety and depression cause significant morbidity, it may be beneficial to consider these mental health symptoms when evaluating older adults with multimorbidity. Published 2016.
