  • A New Paradigm for Alcohol Use in Older Persons

    Alison Moore, Alison A Moore et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1999Referencias: 54

    BACKGROUND: Current paradigms for conceptualizing alcohol-related problems typically focus on persons who are abusing or dependent on alcohol. These paradigms may not apply to older drinkers whose alcohol use, regardless of consumption-level, can cause problems because of age-related changes in physiology and interactions with increased morbidity, medication use, and functional limitations. OBJECTIVE: We convened an expert panel# to develop clini…

  • Active Life Expectancy

    Sidney Katz, Laurence G Branch et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine1983

    This study was designed to demonstrate the feasibility of forecasting functional health for the elderly. Using life-table techniques, we analyzed the expected remaining years of functional well-being, in terms of the activities of daily living, for noninstitutionalized elderly people living in Massachusetts in 1974. The expected years, or active life expectancy, showed a decrease, from 10 years for those aged 65 to 70 years to 2.9 for those 85 or…

  • Effect of Patient Age on Duration of Medical Encounters With Physicians

    Emmett B Keeler, David H Solomon et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1982

    The authors analyzed the USC/DRME Practice Study data to determine if the characteristics of physician patient encounters change with patient age. The only significant change observed was a decline in encounter time for patients 65 years of age and older compared with those 45 through 64 years of age. This decrease was significant for raw data and for data weighted for the number of physicians of various types and standardized for complexity of c…
