"Falls and fractures in advanced aging: the need for Canadian evidence-based multidisciplinary prevention strategies for long term care"
Abstract: Population projections estimate that almost 10 % of the population will be over the age of 80 years by 2063. Thus optimizing care for the frailest of the elderly will require effective novel treatments for common age related chronic diseases such as osteoporosis. The unique needs of the elderly including dysphagia will be highlighted along with strategies to reduce polypharmacy.
