Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Fibrillation Screening in High‐Risk Population: A Cross‐Sectional Study

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Distribution of KAP scores for participants ≤ 65 versus > 65 years. ABSTRACT Objectives Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical arrhythmia. Failure to identify AF leaves patients at a considerably higher risk of disability and death, making its early screening and prevention extremely important. This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude,

Impact of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease on Bone Mineral Density in Elderly Patients With Fragility Hip Fracture: A Cross‐Sectional Study

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) impact bone health in the elderly. A study of 571 patients revealed higher BMD in DM, with HbA1c positively linked to BMD. CKD nullified this association without worsening T‐scores. Tailored interventions—BMD monitoring, glycemic control, and fracture prevention—are essential for risk mitigation ...
