Polypharmacy, benzodiazepines, and antidepressants, but not antipsychotics, are associated with increased falls risk in UK care home residents: a prospective multi-centre study (2020)
Journal Article
Izza, M. A. D., Lunt, E., Gordon, A. L., Gladman, J. R. F., Armstrong, S., & Logan, P. A. (2020). Polypharmacy, benzodiazepines, and antidepressants, but not antipsychotics, are associated with increased falls risk in UK care home residents: a prospective multi-centre study. European Geriatric Medicine, 11, 1043-1050. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41999-020-00376-1

Purpose: Falls and polypharmacy are both common in care home residents. Deprescribing of medications in residents with increased falls risk is encouraged. Psychotropic medications are known to increase falls risk in older adults. These drugs are ofte...

The clinical usefulness of muscle mass and strength measures in older people: a systematic review (2020)
Journal Article
Lunt, E., Ong, T., Gordon, A. L., Greenhaff, P. L., & Gladman, J. R. F. (2021). The clinical usefulness of muscle mass and strength measures in older people: a systematic review. Age and Ageing, 50(1), 88-95. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afaa123

Background: Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and quality and is diagnosed using measures of muscle strength, size and mass. We evaluated the literature on whether sarcopenia measures are predictive of motor outcomes in older people in clinical...
