The main consequence of multimorbidity is polypharmacy, which is commonly defined as the regular use of five or more medicines. Polypharmacy has now reached epidemic proportions in our societies, and is associated with an increased risk of drug-drug interactions, drug-disease interactions and adverse drug reactions.

Arduino A Mangoni trained in Cardiology, Clinical Pharmacology and General Medicine in Milan, Boston and London. He was awarded a PhD in Pharmacology at King’s College, University of London, in 2003. He served as a Senior Lecturer (2003-2007) and Associate Professor (2007-2009) of Clinical Pharmacology at Flinders University before taking up the Chair in Medicine of Old Age at the University of Aberdeen, UK (2010-2012).

Professor Mangoni has authored 350 peer-reviewed publications.Denis O’Mahony is an Associate Professor at the Department of Medicine, University College Cork, and consultant physician in geriatric medicine at Cork University Hospital, Ireland. His special interest is pharmacotherapy in older people, specifically inappropriate prescribing in late life and its consequences. He created the widely used STOPP/START criteria for inappropriate prescribing, recently coordinated the EU FP7-funded project SENATOR, and was a co-principal investigator in the EU Horizon 2020 project OPERAM; both projects focused on the effect of software-delivered STOPP/START criteria on adverse clinical outcomes for older people in hospital. To date, he has over 220 peer-reviewed publications, mostly on pharmacotherapy in late life.

He is a member of the Geriatric Expert Group at the European Medicine Agency (EMA) and the President-elect of the European Geriatric Medicine Society (EuGMS). The main focus of his research is on patterns and quality of drug prescribing in older people; the extent to which prescribing is tailored to real medical needs; indicators for identifying prescribing which is not in line with existing guidelines; and the implementation of a better prescribing policy. He participated as co-principal investigator in two EU FP7-funded projects, SENATOR and MID-FRAIL, and is currently taking part in the EU H2020-funded AFFIRMO project. He is the author of 330 peer-reviewed publications, mainly in the field of geriatric pharmacotherapy.
