Abstract
Several studies published in 2020 showed new data supporting the prescription of statins in some old and very old patients. Despite the enthusiasm about SGLT-2 inhibitors, caution must remain in frail and dependent older diabetic patients who are not well represented in most studies. Antihypertensive treatment appears more beneficial when taken at night rather than in the morning but beware of the prescribing cascade of a diuretic when a new prescription of a calcium channel blocker. Biomarkers, including plasmatic biomarkers, are becoming increasingly important in the diagnostic strategy of neurocognitive disorders. Finally, fall prevention studies showed heterogeneous results but multimodal interventions remain mainstream.
