Introduction: Although there is evidence about multifactorial interventions in prevention of falls, there is a lack of randomized clinical trials involving case management to decrease potentially modifiable risk factors for falls in older fallers. Objective: To examine the efficacy of a remote intervention based on case management of falls on neuropsychological factors and its adherence a…
With aging, there are biopsychosocial changes in the body and it is estimated that long-lived elderly people are more likely to develop or worsen depressive symptoms, due to sociodemographic and clinical factors. Objective: To assess the risk of depression and associated factors in elderly people over 80 years of age. Method: This is cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative research…
