Top 20 Research Studies of 2022 for Primary Care Physicians
This article summarizes the top 20 research studies of 2022 identified as POEMs (patient-oriented evidence that matters), excluding COVID-19.

Diabetes mellitus and functional limitations among older adults: Evidence from a large, representative Ghanaian aging study

Investing in a holistic management approach might be helpful for public health planning efforts to address DM-induced FL in old age.PMID:37677886 | DOI:10.1016/j.jpsychores.2023.111481
