Abstract

Background: Older patients use multiple drugs due to their comorbidities and most of these drugs have anticholinergic drug burden (ADB). We aimed to investigate the association between ADB and sarcopenia, anthropometric measurements, and comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) parameters in older adults.
