Published in JAMA Geriatrics, the study, by Dr. Rishi J. Desai, epidemiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and co-authors showed a continuous decline in patients who started taking osteoporotic medications after the fracture, from 9.8 percent of patients in 2004 to a dismal 3.3 percent in 2015.

Having a simple, low-cost blood test could make it easier for pharmaceutical companies to find enough people at risk of developing Alzheimer's to test potential new drugs to fight the disease, said Katsuhiko Yanagisawa, who co-led the Nature study at the Japanese National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology.

Among people who'd been diagnosed with hearing loss, those who used hearing aids were up to 22019% less likely to be diagnosed with dementia, depression or fall-related injuries over the next three years, compared to people not using the devices, researchers report in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

These interval sessions continued three times a week for four months, which would approximate about eight years in our lives, according to Dr. Bruce Troen, a professor of medicine and head of the division of geriatrics at the University at Buffalo, who, with his colleague Kenneth Seldeen and others, conducted the study.

Even so, the results offer fresh evidence that it may make sense for doctors to assess risk factors for delirium prior to surgery, when it may be possible to take measures to help minimize the risk, said Dr. Elise Levinoff, a geriatrics researcher at McGill University in Montreal who wasn't involved in the study.

Those targets still seem too low to some proponents of moderate glycemic control, like Dr. Sei Lee, a geriatrician at U.C.S.F. Dr. Lee, a diabetes treatment researcher, helped draft the American Geriatrics Society's "Choosing Wisely" recommendations, which suggested a higher A1c of 8 to 9 percent for those with multiple illnesses and shorter life expectancies.

"If you don't feed a patient, if you don't mobilize a patient, you have just made it far more likely they will go to a skilled nursing [facility], and that's expensive," said Robert Palmer, director of the geriatrics and gerontology center at Eastern Virginia Medical School and one of the brains behind the idea of ACE units.

"Patients with depression have worse survival outcomes than non-depressed patients, making depression a critical issue to screen for and manage in the context of serious illness," Elissa Kozlov of the Rutgers University Institute for Health, Health Policy, and Aging Research in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and colleagues write in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.

"While differences exist between hospice organizations in how frequently their patients are hospitalized, including time in the emergency room, and disenrollment from hospice, these patterns do not explain racial disparities between blacks and whites in hospital use and hospice disenrollment," said study author Melissa Aldridge, an assistant professor of geriatrics and palliative medicine at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine, in a statement.

For example, in an analysis of high-quality studies published last year in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, researchers at the University of Jaen in Spain reported that older adults who did one-hour tai chi sessions one to three times a week for 12 to 26 weeks were 43 percent less likely to fall and half as likely to incur a fall-related injury.

The Health Affairs study is one of the first to examine the use of home-based medical care in the U.S. "This paper really shows us that access to home-based healthcare is extremely limited, highly concentrated and just not available to all who need it," said Katherine Ornstein, a professor of geriatrics and palliative medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, in a phone interview.
