Abstract
Improper use of drugs in older adults more often leads to adverse drug reactions due to the physiological changes associatedwith aging. This situation increases morbidity and mortality and determinates more hospital admissions, more use of healthresources and health expenditures. In order to optimize the drug prescriptions in elderly, implicit and explicit tools have beendeveloped in recent years. The STOPP-START 2008 explicit criteria have been imposed as a reference in Europe and havebeen applied in several areas of assistance. This paper presents an update of these criteria, accomplished in 2014.
