A side–effect of many commonly–used drugs appears to increase the risks of both cognitive impairment and death in older people, according to new research led by the University of East Anglia [UEA].
As part of the Medical Research Council’s Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies project, the study is the first systematic investigation into the long–term health impacts of ‘anticholinergic activity’ – a known potential side–effect of many prescription and over–the–counter drugs which affects the brain by blocking a key neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. The findings are published today by the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
