As people age they are more likely to develop chronic conditions and will tend to be on multiple medications for long periods of time to manage those conditions. Some of these medications have side effects that are anticholinergic in nature. These side effects can impact different parts of the body including the central nervous system. As people enter their later years the permeability of the blood brain barrier increases, increasing their risk of these kinds of side effects.
