Research Papers
<b>Objective</b>: to audit the success of a decision protocol to select patients for cardioversion from atrial fibrillation or flutter by recording the success of cardioversion and the maintenance of sinus rhythm over a 2-year period. <b>Design</b>: retrospective case notes review. <b>Setting</b>: a teaching hospital coronary care unit and cardiology department. <b>Patients</b>: 227 consecutive patients were considered for cardioversion from atrial fibrillation or flutter from 1989 to 1992; 128 fulfilled the selection criteria. <b>Main outcome measures</b>: successful cardioversion and maintenance of sinus rhythm after cardioversion. <b>Results</b>: 116 (91%) patients selected by application of the guidelines were successfully cardioverted. The probabilities of maintaining sinus rhythm at 6, 12 and 24 months were 0.92, 0.88 and 0.73 respectively. <b>Conclusion</b>: careful selection of patients in atrial fibrillation identifies a group in whom cardioversion is likely to be safe and successful regardless of age.

Randomized placebo-controlled trial of brisk walking in the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis
Ebrahim, Shah
Thompson, Paul W.
Baskaran, Vermala
Evans, Kathy
Research Papers
<b>Objective</b>: to evaluate the effects of brisk walking on bone mineral density in women who had suffered an upper limb fracture. <b>Design</b>: randomized placebo-controlled trial. Assessments of bone mineral density were made before and at 1 and 2 years after intervention. Standardized and validated measures of physical capacity, self-rated health status and falls were used. <b>Setting</b>: district general hospital outpatient department. <b>Subjects</b>: 165 women drawn from local accident and emergency departments with a history of fracture of an upper limb in the previous 2 years. Women were randomly allocated to intervention (self-paced brisk walking) or placebo (upper limb exercises) groups. <b>Intervention</b>: both groups were seen at 3-monthIy intervals to assess progress, measure physical capacity and maintain enthusiasm. The brisk-walking group were instructed to progressively increase the amount and speed of walking in a manner that suited them. The upper limb exercise placebo group were asked to carry out a series of exercises designed to improve flexibility and fine hand movements, appropriate for a past history of upper limb fracture. <b>Results</b>: drop-outs from both intervention and placebo groups were substantial (41%), although there were no significant differences in bone mineral density, physical capacity or health status between drop-outs and participants. At 2 years, among those completing the trial, bone mineral density at the femoral neck had fallen in the placebo group to a greater extent than in the brisk-walking group [mean net difference between intervention and placebo groups 0.019 g/cm2, 95% confidence interval (CI) −0.0026 to +0.041 g/cm2, <it>P</it>= 0.056]. Lumbar spine bone mineral density had increased to a similar extent (+0.017 g/cm2) in both groups. The cumulative risk of falls was higher in the brisk-walking group (excess risk of 15 per 100 person-years, 95% CI 1.4–29 per 100 person-years, <it>P</it> < 0.05). There were no significant differences in clinical or spinal x-ray fracture risk or self-rated health status between intervention and placebo groups. <b>Conclusion</b>: the promotion of exercise through brisk-walking advice given by nursing staff may have a small, but clinically important, impact on bone mineral density but is associated with an increased risk of falls. Self-paced brisk walking is difficult to evaluate in randomized controlled trials because of drop-outs, placebo group exercise, limited compliance and lack of standardization of the duration and intensity of walking. Further work is needed to evaluate the best means of safely achieving increased activity levels in different groups, such as older women and those at high risk of fractures.

Circumstances and consequences of falls in independent community-dwelling older adults
BERG, WILLIAM P.
ALESSIO, HELAINE M.
MILLS, EUGENIA M.
TONG, CHEN
Research Papers
Background: knowledge of the circumstances and consequences of falls in older adults is important for understanding the aetiology of falls as well as for effective clinical assessment and design of fall prevention strategies. Such data, however, are relatively scarce, especially in community-dwelling elders. Method: accidental falls (including their circumstances and consequences) occurring in 96 male and female participants between 60 and 88 years of age were monitored prospectively for 1 year. After the monitoring period, participants were divided into three groups based on fall status: non-fallers (<it>n</it> = 46), one-time fallers (<it>n</it> = 27) and recurrent fallers (<it>n</it> = 23). Frequency distributions were created for selected circumstances and consequences of falls and the prevalence of these consequences were examined. Results: 50 participants (52%) fell during the 1 year period, amassing 91 falls. Trips and slips were the most prevalent causes of falls, accounting for 59% of falls. Falls most often occurred during the afternoon and while subjects walked on level or uneven surfaces. Fallers most commonly attributed falls to hurrying too much. Fractures resulted from five of the 91 falls and eight other falls resulted in soft tissue injuries that required treatment by a physician. There were no differences between one-time and recurrent fallers in the circumstances and consequences of falls. However, several notable differences were found between men (<it>n</it> = 20) and women (<it>n</it> = 30) who fell. Falls by men most often resulted from slips whereas falls by women most often resulted from trips. Moreover, women and men differed in the time of the year in which falls occurred, with men falling most often during winter and women during summer. Conclusions: the results of this study provide insight into the circumstances and consequences of falls among independent community-dwelling older adults and suggest some possible ways of preventing falls. Preventive services, however, should not solely target recurrent fallers, nor should the type of services necessarily differ for one-time and recurrent fallers.

Hospital discharges for pneumonia in Finland between 1972 and 1993 in the population aged 65 years or over
SÄYNÄJÄKANGAS, PIRJO

KIVELÄ, SIRKKA-LJISA
Research Papers
<b>Aim</b>: to describe the use of hospital services by Finnish adults aged 65 or over with pneumonia from 1972 to 1993-<b>Material and methods</b>: the study was based on nation-wide hospital discharge records. Patients in hospital for over 150 days were excluded. The number of persons aged 65 or over was 458 156 in 1972 and 707 341 in 1993. <b>Results</b>: pneumonia caused 237 330 periods of hospital treatment and a total of 3 826 986 hospitalization days in elderly people during the 22-year period. Annual hospital treatment periods increased from 155 to 23.9 per 1000 of population aged 65 years or over within this interval. The average annual change in the age-adjusted rate of hospital admissions for pneumonia was 1.45% [95% confidence interval (CD 103 to 1.87] for males and 0.83% (95% CI 0.39 to 1.28) for females. The increase was highest in the oldest male group, those aged 85 years or over. In 1972 the number of hospitalization days recorded was 126 690 (277 per 1000) and in 1993 it was 242 638 (343 per 1000), implying an absolute increase of 91.5%. However, the average annual change in the age-adjusted rate of hospitalization days for pneumonia showed a decrease of 0.62% (95% CI 1.04 to 0.19). <b>Conclusion</b>: the recorded increase in the use of hospital services by elderly patients with pneumonia, combined with the current increase in size of the elderly population, suggests that the prevention and treatment of pneumonia in this sector of the population will pose a challenge for the health service in the future.

Why do healthy elderly people fail to comply with influenza vaccination?
ESSEN, GERRIT A. VAN
KUYVENHOVEN, MARIA M.
MELKER, RUUT A. DE
Research Papers
Objective: to assess motivating factors of healthy elderly people to comply with influenza vaccination. <b>Design:</b>survey of healthy elderly people invited by mail by their general practitioner to come for influenza vaccination. Compliance and the personal characteristics of gender, age and medical insurance were recorded by the general practitioner. A postal questionnaire assessing socio-psychological factors was sent to all non-compliant patients and to a random sample of 30% of the compliant patients. <b>Setting:</b> seven family practices with a total of 26000 patients in The Netherlands. <b>Patients:</b> 505 healthy elderly people over 65. Main outcome measures: odds ratios (ORs) for non-compliance by personal characteristics and socio-psychological factors, adjusted by multiple logistic regression analysis; decisive reason whether to comply. <b>Results:</b> non-compliance was 16%. Correlations between personal characteristics and non-compliance were low <b>except for age:</b> those under 75 were less compliant than those over 75. Elderly people endorsing the statement about the vaccine's serious side-effects displayed the highest non-compliance [adjusted OR 216; 95% confidence interval (CI) 16.2 to 2883]; patients judging their own health to be good were also less compliant (adjusted OR 57.9; 95% CI 4 A to 770). The belief of not being susceptible to influenza was the most frequently mentioned reason for not complying, while the general practitioner's mail cue was the most common reason for complying. <b>Conclusions:</b> in healthy elderly people, fear of the side-effects of influenza vaccination and perceived good health seem to be the main factors leading to non-compliance. Better and more specific information about the paucity of systemic side-effects should accompany the invitations.

The effect of chronic diseases on physical function. Comparison between activities of daily living scales and the Physical Performance Test
ROZZINI, RENZO
FRISONI, GIOVANNI B.
FERRUCCI, LUIGI
BARBISONI, PIERA
BERTOZZI, BRUNO
TRABUCCHI, MARCO
Research Papers
<b>Aim</b>: to verify the capacity of basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL) disability scales and of a performance-based test (Physical Performance Test; PPT) to detect the effect on the functional capacity of several common chronic conditions in elderly people. <b>Method</b>: a cross-sectional survey of the entire population aged 70 and over, living in Ospitaletto (Brescia, northern Italy)—549 subjects; 89.6% of the eligible population; 179 males and 370 females—was carried out in 1992. A multi-dimensional questionnaire administered at the subject’s home was used to collect information on demographics, presence of several common chronic diseases and BADL and IADL. Objective physical capacity was assessed using the PPT. <b>Results</b>: only cognitive deterioration and depression were independently associated with disability, as detected by BADL or IADL scales. Cognitive deterioration, stroke, parkinsonism, heart disease and hearing and visual loss were independently associated with PPT. The performance at PPT remained statistically associated with most of the same diseases when the analysis was restricted to subjects with no BADL or IADL disability. <b>Conclusion</b>: a performance-based measure, such as PPT, may detect a functional limitation before it becomes measurable by traditional self-reported BADL and IADL scales.

Baroreflex function in sedentary and endurance-trained elderly people
BOWMAN, ANDREW J.

MURRAY, ALAN
REED, JAMES W.
SUBHAN, M.FEISAL
FORD, GARY A.
Research Papers
<b>Objective</b>: to determine the differences associated with age and endurance exercise training on the baroreflex function of healthy subjects. <b>Design</b>: cross-sectional study. <b>Setting</b>: university research department. <b>Participants</b>: 26 (10 female) sedentary, healthy, normotensive elderly subjects (mean age 67 years, range 62–81), eight (two female) elderly endurance-trained athletes (66 years, 62–69) and eight (two female) young (30 years, 25–34) subjects. <b>Measurements</b>: baroreflex sensitivity was quantified by the a-index, at high frequency (HF, 0.15–0.35 Hz) and mid frequency (MF, 0.05–0.15 Hz), derived from spectral and cross-spectral analysis of spontaneous fluctuations in heart rate and blood pressure. <b>Results</b>: resting heart rate was significantly lower in endurance-trained athletes than sedentary elderly people (58 ± 12 <it>versus</it> 68 ±11 min−1, <it>P</it> < 0.05) but not different to that in healthy young subjects (63 ± 9min−1). αHF in sedentary elderly subjects (8.1±4.2 ms.mmHg−1) was lower than both endurance-trained elderly athletes (14.8 ±4.8 ms.mmHg−1, <it>P</it> < 0.05) and healthy young subjects (28.3 ± 21.8 ms.mm Hg−1 <it>P</it> < 0.05) and was not significantly different between endurance-trained elderly athletes and healthy young subjects (<it>P</it> = 0.10). αμF in healthy young subjects (15.4 ± 8.8 ms.mm Hg−1) was greater than in sedentary elderly subjects (6.5 ± 3.2 ms.mm Hg−1, <it>P</it> < 0.01)and endurance-trained elderly athletes (6.9 ± 2.0 ms.mmHg−1, <it>P</it> < 0.01), while there was no significant difference between the two elderly groups (<it>P</it> = 0.66). <b>Conclusions</b>: both components of the barorefiex measured by the a-index show a decrease with age. Elderlyendurance-trained athletes have less reduction in the high, but not mid, frequency component of the a-index compared with sedentary elderly subjects. Some of the age-related changes in baroreflex sensitivity may be related to physical fitness and activity levels.

Age-associated cognitive decline in healthy old people
STARR, JOHN M.
DEARY, IAN J.
INCH, SUSAN
CROSS, SUSAN
MACLENNAN, WILLIAM J.
Research Papers
<b>Background</b>: disease often confounds the identification of risk factors for age-associated cognitive decline in elderly subjects. If the cognitive effects of ageing are to be distinguished from those of disease, healthy people need to be studied. <b>Methods</b>: we examined the effects of incident disease and drug prescription on cognitive change in a sample of initially healthy old people in a longitudinal study and related these to age, education, social class and blood pressure. We screened general practice case notes of 10 000 patients aged 70 years and over resident in Edinburgh to identify potentially healthy subjects. We visited 1467 potential subjects at home and enquired directly about health problems and medications, administered the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and National Adult Reading Test and recorded educational attainment, occupation and blood pressure. <b>Results</b>: 603 subjects (237 male, 366 female), mean age 75.7 years (range 70–88 years), reported no health problems and were taking no regular medications. Four years after the initial visit we determined the outcome of all 603 subjects and retested available survivors. Psychometric tests were then administered to the 429 (71.1%) available survivors after a median period of 4.2 years (69 subjects were dead, 15 were too unwell, 12 had moved away and 78 either refused or failed to reply). Forty-two subjects had significant sensory impairment or interrupted testing, 195 remained in good health, 29 reported or had documented disease but were on no regular medication and 163 were on regular medication for diseases diagnosed during the follow-up period. MMSE score declined by 0.3 points in the healthy group (P < 0.048). However, once a single outlier whose MMSE score fell from 29 to 22 was excluded, the mean decline for the remainder was non-significant at 0.2 points (P = 0.079). There was no significant difference in cognitive decline between those who had and those who had not started medication (P = 0.59). <b>Conclusions</b>: the study fails to support the hypothesis that cognitive decline can be attributed to age alone in healthy old people. If such a decline exists, we consider that it is unlikely to account for loss of more than 0.1 MMSE point per year.

Cognitive impairment: a challenge for community care. A comparison of the domiciliary service receipt of cognitively impaired and equally dependent physically impaired elderly women
ELY, MARGARET

POLLITT, PENNY A.
Research Papers
<b>Objectives</b>: to compare the domiciliary service receipt of cognitively impaired and equally dependent physically impaired elderly women prior to the passing of the UK Community Care Act. <b>Methods:</b> secondary analysis of a population survey conducted in 1986 in the city of Cambridge. The analysis used data on 1585 women aged 75 and over living in the community. The effect of type of impairment on the receipt of domiciliary services (meals-on-wheels, home help and community nursing) is measured using a multivariate model which allows for adjustment for dependency level and other potential confounding factors. <b>Results:</b> the odds of an elderly woman getting help from any of the domiciliary services whilst not being significantly affected by cognitive impairment (odds ratio 0.7, 95% CI 0.5–1.2) are increased by physical impairment (odds ratio 1.8, 95% CI 1.2–2.5). Similar results were found for the home help service. The differences were exaggerated in the case of the community nursing service, whilst receipt of meals-on-wheels was similar for women of with all types of impairment. <b>Conclusions:</b> in the late 1980s, cognitively impaired elderly women received less help from the domiciliary services than equally dependent physically frail women who lived in similar household circumstances. The development of specialist services appropriate to the needs of cognitively impaired elderly people present Challenge to community care policy, especially since this group are at high risk of institutionalization.

Continuing medical education in Wales: a survey of geriatricians
HASAN, MUJTABA
MEARA, R. JOLYON
BHOWMICK, BIMAL K.
WOODHOUSE, KEN W.
Research Papers
<b>Objective</b>: to determine what practising geriatricians in Wales do to continue their education; what they would prefer to do; and what their views are on study leave, resources and funding. <b>Design</b>: questionnaire survey. <b>Setting</b>: the principality of Wales. <b>Participants</b>: hospital-based, career-grade geriatricians. <b>Results</b>: the overall response rate from a total of 56 questionnaires was 87%. More than half [26 (53%)] of the respondents stated they were able to take only half of their study leave entitlement of 10 days a year. Twenty-five (51%) considered this to be due to service commitment. Geriatricians regarded attendance at routine hospital meetings [47 (96%)] and specialist society meetings [45 (92%)], reading books and journals [49 (100%)] and discussion with colleagues [44 (90%)] as their preferred methods of keeping up to date. Most respondents [44 (90%)] said that the resources and funding required to underpin the system of continuing medical education (CME) should be provided by the employing authority. <b>Conclusions</b>: the many barriers to the continuing education of geriatricians in Wales include service commitments and funding constraints. Geriatricians placed great emphasis on the traditional CME methods such as reading books and journals, attending meetings and conferences and discussion with colleagues and were reluctant to use technology-based educational methods. The results of this study have implications for the way in which geriatricians fulfil CME obligations in the future and provide directions for the planners of CME.
