Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenic Obesity and Its Temporal Associations With Changes in Bone Mineral Density, Incident Falls, and Fractures in Older Men: The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project
David Scott,Markus J. Seibel,Robert G. Cumming,Vasi Naganathan,Fiona M. Blyth,David G. Le Couteur,David J. Handelsman,Louise M. Waite,Vasant Hirani +8 more
TL;DR: In older men, EWGSOP‐ defined sarcopenic obesity is associated with increased fall rates over 2 years, and FNIH‐defined sarc Openia obese men have increased fracture risk over 6 years compared with non‐sarcopenic obese men.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cost effectiveness of a home hazard reduction program to reduce falls among older persons
Glenn Salkeld,Robert G. Cumming,Margaret Thomas,George Szonyi,Christine Westbury,Elizabeth O'Neill +5 more
TL;DR: The effectiveness of individual components of multifactorial intervention packages aimed to reduce the incidence of falls in older people is uncertain and there are no randomised trials of home modifications alone for the prevention of falls.
Journal ArticleDOI
A post-hospital home exercise program improved mobility but increased falls in older people: a randomised controlled trial.
Catherine Sherrington,Stephen R. Lord,Constance Vogler,Jacqueline C. T. Close,Kirsten Howard,Catherine M. Dean,Gillian Z. Heller,Lindy Clemson,Sandra D. O'Rourke,Elisabeth Ramsay,Elizabeth Barraclough,Robert D. Herbert,Robert G. Cumming +12 more
TL;DR: An individualised home exercise prescription significantly improved performance-based mobility but significantly increased the rate of falls in older people recently discharged from hospital.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of epidemiology and management of atrial fibrillation in developing countries.
TL;DR: It is suggested that in the developing world there is a significant prevalence of Atrial fibrillation, which is predominantly associated with hypertension and valvular heart disease, and carries a risk of stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
LiFE Pilot Study: A randomised trial of balance and strength training embedded in daily life activity to reduce falls in older adults
Lindy Clemson,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Anita Bundy,Robert G. Cumming,Elvina Weissel,Jo Munro,Kate Manollaras,Deborah Black +7 more
TL;DR: LiFE was effective in reducing recurrent falls in this at-risk sample of community-residing people and secondary physical and health status outcomes improved minimally and inconsistently.
