Marijuana's hidden risk for older women: study links cannabis to falls
NCT ID NCT03633721
Summary
This study aimed to understand why older women who use cannabis have a higher risk of falling. Researchers compared how cannabis versus a placebo affected walking, balance, and thinking skills in 25 older women, some with HIV and some without. They tested participants under different conditions, like walking while reciting letters, to see if cannabis impairs the ability to do two things at once.
