TL;DR: This operational measure of multimorbidity, which can be implemented using either or both clinical and administrative data, may facilitate its monitoring and international comparison and enable the advancement and evolution of conceptual and theoretical aspects of multimOrbidity that will eventually lead to better care.

Davide L. Vetrano,Davide L. Vetrano,Maria Stella Pisciotta,Alice Laudisio,Maria Rita Lo Monaco,Graziano Onder,Vincenzo Brandi,Domenico Fusco,Beatrice Di Capua,Diego Ricciardi,Roberto Bernabei,Giuseppe Zuccalà +11 more
TL;DR: Sarcopenia is common in Parkinson disease, with severe sarcopenia being diagnosed in 1 in every 5 patients with PD, and sarc Openia is associated with PD severity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of cognitive reserve in cognitive aging: what we can learn from Parkinson's disease.
Nicoletta Ciccarelli,Maria Rita Lo Monaco,Domenico Fusco,Davide L. Vetrano,Giuseppe Zuccalà,Roberto Bernabei,Vincenzo Brandi,Maria Stella Pisciotta,Maria Caterina Silveri +8 more
TL;DR: This study suggests that CR may have greater effects on the cognitive areas mostly affected in PD as executive functions, and empirical support to the relation between CR and cognitive impairment in PD is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of depressive symptoms with circadian blood pressure alterations in Parkinson’s disease
Davide L. Vetrano,Maria Stella Pisciotta,Maria Rita Lo Monaco,Graziano Onder,Alice Laudisio,Vincenzo Brandi,Domenico La Carpia,Mauro Guglielmo,Antonio Nacchia,Domenico Fusco,Diego Ricciardi,Anna Rita Bentivoglio,Roberto Bernabei,Giuseppe Zuccalà +13 more
TL;DR: Depressive symptoms are prevalent, and independently associated with cardiovascular dysautonomia among patients with Parkinson’s disease, which might explain the remarkable incidence of sudden death, as well as the association of depressive symptoms with reduced survival reported in these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of ACE-inhibitors and falls in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Alice Laudisio,Maria Rita Lo Monaco,Maria Caterina Silveri,Anna Rita Bentivoglio,Davide L. Vetrano,Maria Stella Pisciotta,Vincenzo Brandi,Roberto Bernabei,Giuseppe Zuccalà +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that use of ACEIs might be independently associated with reduced probability, and a reduced number of falls among patients with PD, and dedicated studies are needed to define the single agents and dosages that might most effectively reduce the risk of falling in clinical practice.
