Older adults comprise nearly 13% of the US population. Yet, this group consumes 33% of all prescription drugs and at least 40% of over-the-counter medications. Frequently, this relationship contributes to falls, which are an under-recognized risk factor for greater morbidity and mortality. Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Teri Reinemann at treinemann@ithaca.edu or (607) 274-1607. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible. |
