Raton, Florida, United States  \nResults from the 2021 and 2022 National Drug Use and Health Survey reported that 7.7 million older adults (60+) used cannabis. Reasons for cannabis use were to feel good, relax, improve sleep, and pain relief. However, studies on the long-term effects of cannabis in the older population remain limited. Our cross-sectional study aimed to report the characteristics and the death circumstances of people (65+) with cannabinoid exposuresas determined by the medical examiners through autopsy and toxicology results. We used descriptive statistics to examine the de-identified data from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (2020-2022) . There were 10,851 (23 .37%) out of  \n46,437 cases with cannabinoid exposures; 576 (5.31%) were older adults. 482 (83.68%) were males, whites (496 or 86.11%), and 576 (94%) happened in urban counties. 213 used a single drug, while 363 (63.02%) had polydrug use. 180 older decedents  \nInnovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2 663  \nhad cardiac-related conditions, 57 with respiratory-related conditions, and 14 with diabetes. The manner of death were accidents (n = 247 or 42 . 88%), homicide (n = 12 or 2 .08%), natural cause (n = 177 or 30.73%), suicide (n = 133 or 23.09%), and undetermined cause (n = 7 or 1 .22%) . 115 older adults with cannabinoid exposures died from intoxication, while 28 (4.64%) from motor vehicular accidents. Using univariate logistic regression, cannabis users had 60% odds of dying from intoxication compared to non-users, OR=.604, 95% CI, .57-.63, p \u003C 0.001.  \nAfter adjusting for confounders, the odds of experiencing toxicity decreased, OR=.35, 95% CI, .33-.37, p \u003C 0.001. Our study provided evidence of the harm from cannabinoid exposures, underscoring the need for tailored interventions for public safety.","cbCaipYzN70jJnkJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipYzN70jJnkJ","pdf",55093,"English","# Study objective\n## Data source and cohort\n## Key findings on demographics and death manners\n## Intoxication-related outcomes and regression results","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s main goal regarding cannabinoid exposure in older adults?\",\"answer\":\"To describe the characteristics and death circumstances of people (65+) with cannabinoid exposures, determined from medical examiner autopsy and toxicology results.\"},{\"question\":\"Which data source and time period were used for the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The study used de-identified data from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement covering 2020 to 2022.\"},{\"question\":\"How did cannabis users’ odds of intoxication-related death compare to non-users?\",\"answer\":\"Univariate logistic regression indicated cannabis users had about 60% odds of dying from intoxication compared to non-users (OR = .604, 95% CI .57–.63, p \\u003c 0.001).\"}]","DEATH CIRCUMSTANCES OF OLDER ADULTS WITH CANNABINOID EXPOSURES - Abstract citation ID igaf122.2261 - Findings on older adults | PDF",1790643833]
