Description of care pathways for benzodiazepine and sedative hypnotic discontinuation in older adults
Introduction: Benzodiazepines and sedative hypnotics (BSHs) may represent a threat to patient safety, especially among older adults. The project BE-SAFE (Implementing a patient-centred and evidence-based intervention to reduce BEnzodiazepine and sedative-hypnotic use to improve patient SAFEty and quality of care) is a 5-year research project funded through the Horizon Europe Research Programme (Grant agreement n° 101057123). Its goal is to improv…
Subjective psychological impacts during Covid‐19 lockdown on older people, risk profiles and coping strategies

The survey included ad‐hoc questions about psychological impacts on subjective cognitive functioning, emotional distress, and loneliness. Open end‐que…
A Multi-Domain Group-Based Intervention to Promote Physical Activity, Healthy Nutrition, and Psychological Wellbeing in Older People with Losses in Intrinsic Capacity

Multicomponent interventions appear to be the most effective approach to enhance IC and to prevent frailty and disability since adapted physical activity is the preventive intervention that has shown …
Comparison of quality of life among community-dwelling older adults with the frailty phenotype
Cognitive frailty
Gait speed at usual pace as a predictor of adverse outcomes in community-dwelling older people an International Academy on Nutrition and Aging (Iana) Task Force
Screening for Undernutrition in Geriatric Practice
BACKGROUND: The Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA) is a validated assessment instrument for nutritional problems, but its length limits its usefulness for screening. We sought to develop a screening version of this instrument, the MNA-SF, that retains good diagnostic accuracy. METHODS: We reanalyzed data from France that were used to develop the original MNA and combined these with data collected in Spain and New MEXICO: Of the 881 subjects with c…
Screening for malnutrition in dwelling elderly
The health of elderly people is often affected by inadequate nutritional intake. Psychosocial determinants and the higher prevalence of acute and chronic illnesses are risk factors for nutritional deficiencies in the elderly.
