This book serves as a repository of knowledge and scientifi c evidence concerning medications and their effects on falls risk. The book will inform readers of the complexity of the issue of medication-related falls in older people and provide strategies for its management. The target audience for this book includes (1) health professionals with an interest in researching and caring for older people, (2) managers of institutions or health systems, (3) policy-makers and health system funding decision-makers, and (4) the general public seeking high-quality information on this topic – especially those individuals with aging parents who have experienced falls or medication problems. This book will not be able to provide a single solution to this important clinical problem because of its complexity. Perhaps in the future, as a convergence of genomics, proteomics, and therapeutics occurs, health science may be able to optimize medication use in each individual person to minimize the risk of side effects and adverse events.
