BW Rovner, A David, MJ Lucas-Blaustein, B Conklin, L Filipp and L Tune
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
The serum anticholinergic levels of 22 demented nursing home patients were
related to their cognition and capacity for self-care. The patients with
high anticholinergic levels had greater impairment in self-care capacity
than patients with low levels.
