Benjamin Han, geriatra y especialista en medicina de las adicciones de la Universidad de California en San Diego, comparte las inquietantes conclusiones de su pr\u00e1ctica cl\u00ednica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Dra. Han relata el caso de una mujer de 76 a\u00f1os que padec\u00eda insomnio cr\u00f3nico. Como muchas personas mayores, ten\u00eda dificultades para conciliar el sue\u00f1o y se despertaba a menudo durante la noche. Para ayudarla a dormir, su hija le dio a probar las gominolas del sue\u00f1o, una forma de cannabis comestible. Aunque estos productos se comercializan por su potencial para ayudar a conciliar el sue\u00f1o, las implicaciones de su uso en pacientes de edad avanzada son complejas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El cannabis puede afectar a los adultos mayores de forma diferente que a los consumidores m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes. Los cambios relacionados con la edad en el metabolismo, la qu\u00edmica cerebral y la salud en general pueden amplificar los efectos del cannabis y aumentar el riesgo de reacciones adversas. Los profesionales m\u00e9dicos advierten de que los adultos mayores pueden experimentar una mayor sensibilidad al THC, el componente psicoactivo del cannabis, lo que puede provocar confusi\u00f3n, problemas de coordinaci\u00f3n y un mayor riesgo de ca\u00eddas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, la interacci\u00f3n del cannabis con otros medicamentos prescritos habitualmente a los adultos mayores plantea problemas adicionales. Muchos pacientes pueden no revelar su consumo de cannabis a sus profesionales sanitarios, lo que puede complicar los planes de tratamiento y aumentar la probabilidad de interacciones perjudiciales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Dra. Han subraya la necesidad de una mayor concienciaci\u00f3n, tanto entre los pacientes como entre los profesionales sanitarios, sobre los riesgos potenciales del consumo de cannabis en la poblaci\u00f3n de edad avanzada. A medida que el cannabis se hace m\u00e1s accesible, es crucial educar a los adultos mayores sobre las pr\u00e1cticas de uso seguro y la importancia de consultar con profesionales m\u00e9dicos antes de iniciar cualquier tratamiento nuevo, incluidos los productos a base de cannabis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El reto consiste en equilibrar los posibles beneficios terap\u00e9uticos del cannabis, como el alivio del dolor y la mejora de la calidad del sue\u00f1o, con los riesgos asociados a su consumo en los adultos mayores. A medida que la investigaci\u00f3n sigue evolucionando, es esencial que la comunidad m\u00e9dica se mantenga informada y ofrezca una orientaci\u00f3n clara a los pacientes que toman estas decisiones.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A medida que aumenta la prevalencia del consumo de cannabis entre los adultos mayores, los profesionales sanitarios se muestran cada vez m\u00e1s preocupados por los riesgos sanitarios asociados.
