Brief Summary
We hypothesized that the use of anticholinergic medications may precipitate falls differently by frailty status in older adults. Community-dwelling older subjects admitted to the Geriatrics Outpatient Clinic prospectively enter into the study. Frailty status is defined according to the Physical Frailty Phenotype. The drugs are categorized according to the ACB scale

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Fall assessment
We will assess the association between anticholinergic burden (ACB) and falls based on frailty status among older adults.
1-2 hours
Study Arms (2)
Fallers
Participants who reported one or more falls within the 12 months preceding the study consist the group of ''fallers''.
Non-fallers
Participants with no fall history consist the group of ''non-fallers''
Interventions
Through a comprehensive geriatric assessment carried out by our geriatrician led multidisciplinary team we gather information about fall recalls consistent with the definition of landing on the floor or ground.
