There were no significant differences in sarcopenia and locomotive syndrome between the depressive groups. Our findings suggest that depressive symptoms are associated with frailty and pre-frailty in community-dwelling older adults in Japan. Physical frailty should be evaluated in depressed individuals and may contribute to the prioritization of clinical evaluation of geriatric syndromes.Documentation of alcohol use in electronic medical record (EMR) informs interventions to reduce alcohol-related morbidity and mortality. This retrospective cohort study explored EMR data from 960 primary care providers participating in the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network to describe documentation of alcohol use (e.g. none, current or past use) in the EMR. Included providers represented 700,620 adult patients from across Canada with an encounter between 2015 and 2018. Bivariate comparisons characterized the patients with, and without, documentation of alcohol use. Multivariate generalized estimating equation models with logit function assessed patient and provider characteristics associated with (1) documentation of alcohol and (2) patients with heightened risk for alcohol-related problems. Forty percent of patients had alcohol use documentation in the EMR. Light alcohol consumption was recorded for 43.6% of these patients. Male patients (OR1.09, CI 1.07-1.12), who were older (OR1.26, CI 1.23-1.30), had more frequent visits to their provider (OR1.11, CI 1.09-1.13) and had hypertension (OR1.07, CI 1.06-1.09) or depression (OR1.07, CI 1.09-1.14) had higher odds of alcohol documentation. There were 4.7% of patients with a record indicating heightened risk for alcohol-related problems. Male patients (OR3.27 CI 3.14-3.4), patients with depression (OR2.01 CI1
