Anticholinergic Drug Induced Cognitive and Physical Impairment: Results from the InCHIANTI Study

Abstract

Anticholinergic medications are a potentially modifiable risk factor for the prevention of cognitive and physical decline. Identification of reversible causes for cognitive and physical impairment is critical for the aging population. These findings encourage new research that may lead to effective interventions for deprescribing programs for the prevention of cognitive and physical decline in older adults.
