Research on cannabis-related health outcomes in diverse older adults is limited.
Adjusting for covariates as possible, participants with a cannabis diagnosis had significantly greater risk of coronary heart disease, chronic non-cancer pain, stroke, myocardial infarction, cyclic vomiting, and injuries, over time, compared to controls.
In a diverse sample, older adults who used cannabis had worse health conditions and events and used more health services over a two-year period.
