Background: The association between long-term omeprazole use and gastric cancer (GC) risk is controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of GC in elderly community-dwelling omeprazole chronic users with/without aspirin compared to non-users.
Methods: The registry of a large health management organization was searched for all community-dwelling members aged ≥65 years from January 2002 to December 2016.
Aims: To investigate the potential association of chronic use of omeprazole with the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures (OF) in community-dwelling elderly subjects.
Methods: The cohort consisted of community-dwelling residents aged >65 years registered with a large health maintenance organization in Israel between January 2002 and December 2016. Data were retrospectively collected from the electronic medical files on demographics, parameters known to be associated with OF, diagnoses of osteoporotic hip, wrist, and vertebral fractures, and chronic use of omeprazole (>11 prescriptions/year).
Objectives: This study focused on the negative affect of informal caregivers of older adults. In a novel investigation, the interplay of aging anxiety, caregiving burden, and resilience as a protective factor was examined, suggesting that aging anxiety and caregiving burden are mediators for the link between resilience and negative affect.
Methods: In a cross-sectional design, 191 Israeli informal caregivers of older adults (65+) participated in the study.
Introduction: The association of anemia with dementia in elders is controversial. We examined the potential association of anemia with dementia in a large population of elders.
Methods: Historical-prospective registry-based study.
