Relationships between HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statin) use and strength, balance and falls in older people

TL;DR: To investigate associations between HMG‐CoA reductase inhibitor (statin) use and muscle strength, balance, mobility and falls in older people, a new drug is introduced that acts as a ‘spatially aggregating agent’ to reduce the chance of falls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of Three Cognitive Screening Tools in Older Urban and Regional Aboriginal Australians

Impaired Response Selection During Stepping Predicts Falls in Older People—A Cohort Study

TL;DR: Combined stepping and response inhibition as measured in a go/no-go test stepping paradigm predicted falls in older people and suggests that integrity of the response-selection component of a voluntary stepping response is crucial for minimizing fall risk.
