New Study Finds That Almost Half of Older Adults Die With a Dementia Diagnosis

Main
Nearly 1 in 2 older adults now die with a diagnosis of dementia listed on their medical record, a 36 percent rise from two decades ago. The research, published April 1 in JAMA Health Forum, found the greatest increases in dementia diagnoses in hospice, inpatient, and home health settings.However, the increase may be the consequence of more detailed medical records, Medicare billing rules, and an increase in public awareness around dementia rather than an actual rise in the prevalence of dementia, according to researchers.Those changes could provide the opportunity for more older adults to talk in advance with their families and healthcare providers about the kind of care they want at the end of life if they do develop Alzheimer’s disease or another form of cognitive decline, the authors note.Although…

Many Older People With Rheumatoid Arthritis Are Undermedicated

Many Older People With Rheumatoid Arthritis Are Undermedicated

Main
If you are over the age of 65 and have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), your physician may not be treating you as aggressively as recommended by American College of Rheumatology (ACR). Updated in 2021, the guidelines endorse early treatment with DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs), medications that help decrease pain and prevent joint damage. However, a study published in ACR Open Rheumatology in January 2022, conducted by researchers at University of Michigan (UofM) Medicine, found that older people were receiving this treatment in far fewer numbers than younger people who had RA.Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive disease; early, aggressive treatment can reduce symptoms such as fatigue and prevent irreversible joint damage.Are DMARDs Underused in Older Adults? The research team used the National Ambulatory Medical Care survey to analyze almost eight million ambulatory…
