This study aims to investigate the incidence and prevalence of falls among older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and dementia and explore the association between these conditions and the occurrence of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from 17,000 older adults aged 65 and above, arrived at the hospital with fall related injuries, obtained from the TriNetX network at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (VCUHS) between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2023. Data included demographic information, diagnosis codes (ICD-10), and details on falls, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and TBIs. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analyses were performed using TriNetX analytical tools.Results: Older adults with Alzheimer's disease (incidence proportion: 3.11%, prevalence: 4.81%) and dementia (incidence proportion: 12.46%, prevalence: 17.06%) had a significantly higher incidence of falls compared to those without these conditions. Females showed a slightly higher incidence of falls than males. Logistic regression analysis indicated that patients with Alzheimer's disease had a reduced risk of TBIs (OR = 0.765, 95% CI: 0.588-0.996, p = 0.047), while those with unspecified dementia had an increased risk (OR = 1.161, 95% CI: 1.002-1.346, p = 0.047).Conclusions: Our study reveals a higher risk of falls and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in older adults with dementia compared to those with Alzheimer's disease. These findings underscore the need for targeted fall prevention strategies and educational programs for caregivers.","PeriodicalId":72094,"journal":{"name":"Advances in geriatric medicine and research","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11485985/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142482166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been reported that cognitive impairments and dementia can increase fall risk in the older population; however, it remains unknown if fall risk differs among subgroups of dementia. This meta-analysis summarized previous studies reporting the annual fall risk of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and compared the fall risk between these two groups of people with dementia.Methods: Thirty-five studies enrolling 7844 older adults with AD or MCI were included. The annual fall prevalence and average number of falls of the included studies were meta-analyzed and compared by random-effects models with inverse variance weights.Results: The annual fall prevalence in people with AD (43.55%) was significantly higher than MCI (35.26%, p < 0.001). A χ2 test indicated that the pooled fall prevalence is significantly higher in people with AD than MCI χ2 = 158.403, p < 0.001). Additionally, the yearly average number of falls in AD was higher than in MCI (1.30 vs 0.77 falls/person).Conclusions: The results showed that older people with AD experience a higher annual fall prevalence with a larger number of falls than older adults with MCI. The results suggested that the fall risk measurements should be reported separately between people with AD and MCI. The findings could provide preliminary guidance for the identification of individuals with dementia who experience a high fall risk.","PeriodicalId":72094,"journal":{"name":"Advances in geriatric medicine and research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11081206/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140900612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Falls occur more commonly among older adults with dementia than among those without dementia. Moreover, half of nursing home residents have moderate to severe cognitive impairment. While less than 5% of older adults live in nursing homes, they account for 20% of deaths from falls in this age group. In addition, 78% of older adults who fall need help in getting up from the floor. The consequences of falling, such as prolonged lying on the floor, can produce severe and prolonged health effects. The acute shortage of staff in nursing homes, especially during evening, night and weekend shifts, can delay the detection and response to falls. There are various systems designed to detect falls and alert staff, including those utilizing wearable devices, ambience sensors and cameras (vision) as well as fusion systems. They each have their advantages and drawbacks. In this NIA-funded SBIR grant, we are developing and testing the feasibility of a fall detection and prevention system that addresses the drawbacks of previous systems. We anchor our approach on the deployment of an autonomously navigating robot equipped with a mounted infrared camera and machine learning software designed to detect the risk of falls and falls themselves. The robot will patrol resident rooms during evening and night shifts and alert the staff, allowing them to evaluate the fall risk or fall alert presented by the robot video camera and determine whether indeed a resident has fallen or is at risk of falling, and take appropriate action.","PeriodicalId":72094,"journal":{"name":"Advances in geriatric medicine and research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11823425/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143416371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Older adults with Alzheimer disease (AD) are over twice as likely to experience a fall compared to cognitively normal older adults. Intrinsic and extrinsic fall risk factors may influence falls during symptomatic AD; intrinsic factors include changes in cognition and impaired functional mobility, and extrinsic factors include polypharmacy and environmental fall hazards. Despite many known fall risk factors, the high prevalence of falls, and the presence of effective fall prevention interventions for older adults without cognitive impairment, effective fall prevention interventions for older adults with AD to date are limited and inconclusive. Falls may precede AD-related cognitive impairment during the preclinical phase of AD, though a narrow understanding of fall risk factors and fall prevention interventions for older adults with preclinical AD limits clinical treatment of falls among cognitively normal older adults with preclinical AD. This mini review explores fall risk factors in symptomatic AD, evidence for effective fall prevention interventions in symptomatic AD, and preclinical AD as an avenue for future falls research, including recommendations for future research directions to improve our understanding of falls and fall risk during preclinical AD. Early detection and tailored interventions to address these functional changes are needed to reduce the risk of falls for those at risk for developing AD. Concerted efforts should be dedicated to understanding falls to inform precision fall prevention strategies for this population.","PeriodicalId":72094,"journal":{"name":"Advances in geriatric medicine and research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10977097/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140319983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most evidence supporting these programs primarily focuses on ambulatory stroke survivors or those dependent ambulatory in acute and subacute stages. There is a notable gap in the application of walking exercise programs for chronic dependent ambulatory stroke survivors despite potential benefits in reducing sedentary behavior and improving rehabilitation outcomes. Thus, this literature review aims to summarize the existing evidence on the feasibility and efficacy of assisted walking exercise programs for chronic stroke survivors who are dependent ambulators.Methods: Six major databases were searched for clinical trials related to assisted walking exercise and chronic dependent ambulatory stroke.Results: Seven studies (evidence with low- to moderate-quality) involving 91 chronic dependent ambulatory stroke subjects are included in this review.Conclusions: These studies indicated that assisted walking exercise is feasible to perform by chronic dependent ambulatory stroke survivors and can induce continued motor recovery and functional improvement. However, the mixed and limited evidence from existing research underscores the need for future high-quality randomized controlled trials with standardized designs and outcome measures to establish evidence-based walking programs for this population.","PeriodicalId":72094,"journal":{"name":"Advances in geriatric medicine and research","volume":"6 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11722605/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142973549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also mediates cellular responses to estrogens in multiple nonreproductive organ systems, many of which regulate systemic metabolic homeostasis and inflammatory processes in mammals. The loss of estrogens and/or ERα agonism during aging is associated with the emergence of several comorbid conditions, particularly in females undergoing the menopausal transition. Emerging data also suggests that male mammals likely benefit from ERα agonism if done in a way that circumvents feminizing characteristics. This has led us, and others, to speculate that tissue-specific ERα agonism may hold therapeutic potential for curtailing aging and chronic disease burden in males and females that are at high-risk of cancer and/or cardiovascular events with traditional estrogen replacement therapies. In this mini-review, we emphasize the role of ERα in the brain and liver, summarizing recent evidence that indicates these two organs systems mediate the beneficial effects of estrogens on metabolism and inflammation during aging. We also discuss how 17α-estradiol administration elicits health benefits in an ERα-dependent manner, which provides proof-of-concept that ERα may be a druggable target for attenuating aging and age-related disease burden.","PeriodicalId":72094,"journal":{"name":"Advances in geriatric medicine and research","volume":"5 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10327608/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9810973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
