Update on Geriatric Psychiatry Maintenance of Certification Program
2017 AAGP Annual Meeting ADVANCES IN LATE-LIFE SCHIZOPHRENIA: A FOCUS ON FUNCTIONAL AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES Session 205 Tarek K. Rajji1; Anjana Muralidharan2; Heather Leutwyler2; John Kasckow3 1
University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada UCSF, San Francisco, CA 3 University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA 2
Abstract: As the general population ages, it is anticipated that the number and proportion of older patients with schizophrenia will continue to increase. Schizophrenia is associated with functional and physical disabilities that are likely to be exacerbated by aging-related declines in these domains. Dr. Rajji, who will Chair the symposium, will provide an overview on current knowledge of functional abilities and their determinants in older persons with schizophrenia and present new data on the relationship between antipsychotics and function in this population. Dr. Muralidharan will present novel data on physical activity and mobility function among frail and older veterans with psychosis. Dr. Leutwyle will present on a pilot study demonstrating the impact of a videogame-based physical activity program on walking speed and negative symptoms in older adults with schizophrenia. Dr. Kasckow, the Discussant of the symposium, will present on the feasibility and efficacy of using telehealth to monitor suicidal risk in older veterans and will discuss the above presentations. Faculty Disclosures: Tarek K. Rajji Nothing to disclose Anjana Muralidharan No Answer Heather Leutwyler Nothing to disclose John Kasckow Other: Bosch Health Care—I received help with software and transmission costs associated with the research
