Understanding the factors influencing survival in oldest old population is crucial for providing appropriate care and improving outcomes. This prospective observational study aimed to investigate the determinants of survival in acutely ill oldest old patients during acute hospitalization and 1-month follow-up. Various geriatric domains and biochemical markers were assessed.

Prevalence and Factors Associated with Impairment in Intrinsic Capacity among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An Observational Study from South India.

Background: Intrinsic capacity (IC) is conceptualized by World Health Organization (WHO) with a focus on healthy aging. Identifying impairment could help in making a person-centred plan for the care of older adults.

Objectives: Establish the prevalence of IC among community-dwelling older adults age >60, the prevalence of impairment in each domain, and identify factors associated with an impairment in IC.

Case Report: Hypercalcemia in an Older Patient with Type I Lepra Reaction.

Leprosy is a rare, chronic granulomatous disease, and India accounts for two-thirds of the new cases reported worldwide. Hypercalcemia is a rare complication of granulomatous disease. Here, we report a case of an older adult patient with leprosy and type I lepra reaction presenting with severe hypercalcemia.

Behavioural issues in late life may be the precursor of dementia- A cross sectional evidence from memory clinic of AIIMS, India.

Background: Mild Behavioural Impairment (MBI), an "at risk" state for incident cognitive declin, is characterized by late onset, sustained neuropsychiatric symptoms of any severity which cannot be accounted for by other formal medical and psychiatric nosology. There is no study related to MBI from India.

Methods And Findings: In this cross-sectional observational study 124 subjects 60 years and above were recruited between March 2017 to October 2018, from memory clinic of department of Geriatric medicine with memory or behavioural complains.
