Abstract
Sleeping enough is associated with a reduced risk of mortality and dementia. New evidence support regular physical exercise, including at home, as a corner stone intervention to prevent falls and fractures. In contrast, supplementation with high doses of vitamin D is ineffective and even deleterious in this indication and a routine screening in asymptomatic adults is not recommended. Several studies illustrate our difficulties in prescribing and deprescribing in frail older patients and a study suggests that statins in cardiovascular primary prevention should considered only when a patient's life expectancy exceeds 2.5 years. Finally, several studies have fueled the debate about screening for hearing impairment.
