Journal ArticleDOI
Low Hemoglobin Concentrations Are Associated With Sarcopenia, Physical Performance, and Disability in Older Australian Men in Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Analysis: The Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project

TL;DR: Declines in Hb levels over time are associated with poor functional outcomes and the risks and benefits of interventions to increase Hb among older men warrant further investigation to differentiate whether this is an active contributor to age-related debility or a passive biomarker of it.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exercise intervention to prevent falls and enhance mobility in community dwellers after stroke: a protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Catherine M. Dean,Chris Rissel,Chris Rissel,Michelle Sharkey,Catherine Sherrington,Robert G. Cumming,Robert G. Cumming,Ruth Barker,Stephen R. Lord,Sandra D. O'Rourke,Catherine Kirkham +10 more
TL;DR: This randomised controlled trial will investigate whether exercise can reduce fall rates and increase mobility and physical activity levels in stroke survivors and determine the effects of the exercise programs in preventing falls and enhancing mobility among people following stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and validation of fall risk screening tools for use in residential aged care facilities.
Kim Delbaere,Kim Delbaere,Jacqueline C. T. Close,Hylton B. Menz,Robert G. Cumming,Ian D. Cameron,Philip N. Sambrook,Lyn March,Stephen R. Lord +8 more
TL;DR: Screening tools for predicting falls in nursing home and intermediate‐care hostel residents who can and cannot stand unaided are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual activity, fertility and contraceptive use in middle-aged and older men: Men in Australia, Telephone Survey (MATeS)
Carol A Holden,Robert I McLachlan,Robert G. Cumming,Gary A. Wittert,David J. Handelsman,David M. de Kretser,Marian Pitts +6 more
TL;DR: Continuing sexual activity, fertility and contraception needs in middle-aged and older men suggests that education and service delivery must be more appropriately directed to an ageing population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring anticholinergic drug exposure in older community-dwelling Australian men: a comparison of four different measures
Lisa G. Pont,Lisa G. Pont,Johannes T. H. Nielen,Johannes T. H. Nielen,Johannes T. H. Nielen,Andrew J. McLachlan,Danijela Gnjidic,Lewis Chan,Robert G. Cumming,Katja Taxis +9 more
TL;DR: Great care should be taken when interpreting anticholinergic drug exposure using existing scales due to the wide variability between the different scales, as well as between the four tools compared in this study.
