To investigate the association between polypharmacy, anxiety, and depression among Chinese older adults.The data used in this study were from Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), 2018 wave. Polypharmacy status was measured by accumulation of self-reported medications. Anxiety assessed Generalized Disorder (GAD-7) scale Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-10), respectively. Logistic regression models performed.A total 2484 adults (female: 1321, 53.2%) aged 60 to 117 years old included analysis. Regression analysis showed that polypharmacy associated with after controlling covariates. No observed anxiety.There a suggestive link adults. Having might be an indicator possible population, but comprehensive assessment is necessary.

The drug burden index (DBI) measures a person's total exposure to anticholinergic and sedative medications, which are commonly associated with harm. Through incorporating the DBI in electronic medical records (eMR) implementing stewardship program, we aimed determine (i) uptake of steward's recommendations deprescribe and/or drugs by team (ii) whether accepted were actioned hospital or recommended for follow-up General Practitioner post-discharge.

Clinical evidence demonstrating a longitudinal association between prescribed medications and sarcopenia onset is lacking. We investigated the of polypharmacy (the use five or more medications) potentially inappropriate (PIMs) with risk in community-dwelling older adults.In this population-based cohort study, 2,044 residents no long-term care needs were randomly selected from community Kashiwa, Japan. Baseline data collection was conducted 2012, follow-ups 2013, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021. Prescribed PIMs (drugs listed Screening Tool for Older Person's Appropriate Prescriptions Japanese muscle-wasting drugs) identified through interviews. New-onset according to 2019 criteria Asian Working Group Sarcopenia over 9-year period analyzed. used Cox proportional hazards models test onset.Of 1,549 participants without at baseline (mean age, 72.5 ± 5.5 years; 49.1% women; median interquartile range, 6.0 [4.0-9.0] years), 230 experienced new-onset during follow-up. After adjusting confounders, combined PIM strongly associated (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.58-3.51; P < 0.001). No significant associations observed either alone.Polypharmacy use, but not alone, an increased follow-up among adults. Limiting imposing prescription appropriate may facilitate prevention.

Older adults are at an increased risk of drug-related problems, especially following discharge from hospital. Drug-related readmissions place a large burden on the patient and healthcare system. However, previous studies report inconsistent results prevalence associated factors for hospital in older adults.
