Mechanisms and prevention strategies for orthostatic intolerance in older adults
The RIA is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and care of older adults through partnerships in research, education and practice. One of the RIA’s key areas of interest involves addressing unexplained falls in older adults, which dramatically increases morbidity and mortality in individuals with pre-existing frailty. There is currently a gap in the literature on risk factors for unexplained falls. The overall aim of this project is to discover these risk factors and formulate novel fall risk assessments for older adults in Canada.
