HXR 2016: Which Comes First: Overeating or Obesity? -Dr. David Ludwig, Boston...HxRefactored
The conventional approach to weight loss, based on the calorie balance model, offers the simple advice, “eat less and move more.” Unfortunately, few people can maintain weight loss over the long term through calorie restriction because the body fights back, with rising hunger and slowing metabolism. An alternative approach to treatment aims to target the underlying driver of weight gain – fat cells overstimulated to hoard too many calories – leading to weight loss with less struggle.
Any kind of physical activity is great and helps keep your body functioning well, but a recent study showed that there’s even a specific kind of exercise to aid with balance: Tai Chi.

3. What Is A Fall?
A sudden unintentional change in
position causing an individual to land at
a lower level
4. For Us The Results Are Dramatic
•There are causes
•Surprise . . Projects and Pilots
•Plenty of advice on prevention
•Medicines get some of the blame
•There’s certainly guidance!
•There are consequence
5. What Should We Consider First?
•There are demands on emergency
services
Budgets of Course!
•Home adaptation & rehabilitation
•Primary Care follow-up costs
•Winter pressures-bed blocking
•Hospital admissions
-if anyone has a bed!
7. Start Saving!
Acute Hospital Cost £4,808
Long Stay & Social Costs £7,125
Primary Care Costs £164
Total Costs £12,124
Annual Costs Per Population £942,000,000
(Dolan, P & Tagerson D 1998)
9. The Individual Isn’t Going To Be
Very Happy Either!
•Loss of function
•Increased isolation and loneliness
•Fear of further falls
•Loss of dignity
•Loss of mobility & independence
10. Time For A Few Statistics
40-60% lead to injuries
30-50% are minor
5% lead to fractures
5-6% lead to major injuries
Minor Injuries –
Lacerations
Bruises
Abrasions
Sprains
And they hurt!
Major Injuries –
Fractures
Dislocations
Lacerations
Soft tissue damage
And they hurt a lot!
12. Interesting!
80% of women would rather be dead
than experience loss of independence
and quality of life that results from
hip fracture and admission to a
nursing home

15. Guidance
• Health of the Nation- Policy assessed 1998
– “Failed over its 5 year span to realise its full potential….
By 1997 its impact on local policy making was negligible”
• Saving Lives- Our Healthier Nation 1999
– Reduce risks for falling/stumbling in older people
• NSF Older People 2001
• NICE guidance on falls prevention 2003
16. While I Have Been Talking . .
FOUR older people will have been
seriously injured
SIX older people will have had
another injury
17. Drug Therapy Is More Likely To
Cause A Fall If . .
•The patient has more than four drugs
•A new drug was started within the
previous two weeks
18. And . . .
•Lots of drugs increase the risk of
falling
•They aggravate problems for those
who are already fallers
19. Can We Help At-Risk Patients?
YES!!!
•Does the patient need the drug?
•Does poor compliance cause problems
• Do effects lead to falling
-anti hypertensives?
•Do side effects lead to falls
-drowsiness?
20. Drug Problems
Sedative drugs
benzodiazepines, tricyclics, phenothiazines,
barbiturates and antihistamines
Cardiovascular drugs
diuretics, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, alpha-
blockers, calcium channel blockers and vasodilators
21. What Drugs Can Do
In the elderly, drugs like
• Digoxin cause dizziness
• Baclofen cause muscle weakness
• Phenytoin cause ataxia
• Prochlorperazine and
metoclopramide cause Parkinson’s features
• Procyclidine cause visual impairment
22. They Can Also Cause Confusion
Drugs like:
•Digoxin in overdose cause acute confusion
•Cimetidine confuses when there is renal or
liver impairment
•Corticosteroids can confuse
•Methyldopa can confuse
23. Most commonly prescribed drugs
that cause falls

29. While We’ve Been Here . . .
About 120 older people will have had a
minor injury
About 90 older people will have been
seriously injured
One older person will have died
All as a result of a FALL
30. Don’t Forget . . .
Falls are very expensive and, as the
old saying goes . . .
A Fall and the Money
are Soon Parted
Editor's Notes
There are many definitions of falls, but for the purposes of todays presentation I shall be using this one, although…..
However for the population and all services the results are dramatic and warrant national and local action.
Today I would like to present an overview on falls management, if we are to address the problem.
We need to therefore look at the:
Causes
Consequences
Current guidance and evidence
Why as pharmacists we need to be developing medication reviews and becoming involved in falls prevention
Adopt a multi disciplinary approach
And learn and share from cureent good practice
But we need to give falls management some perspectives… so what do we need to consideer first
Budgets of course!!
There are demands on emergency servcies and doctor out of hours services to cover older people who have fallen
There is subsequent hospital admissions
In cold frosty weather, falls and fractures put considerable pressure on an already over burdened
All the follow up services in primary care plus physiotherapy etc
And then there are the important social services and rehab costs…..
And Hip replacements cost a lot
So here are some of the costs that we could start saving!!!
So all pharmacists in this room could go back to their PCT’s , and start drawing up buisness plans to start saving this money.
But how do we cost the individual traum of a fall?
So lets look at the problem more closely.
Lets start working some of these issues and costs into redcuing falls by developing comprehensive medcines services
