Assessing falls in the elderly: should we use simple screening tests or a comprehensive fall risk evaluation? The risk for falling increases in the older population, resulting in an increase in serious outcomes and associated health care costs. Incorporating a fall... CC Persad,S Cook,B Giordani...
A Pilot Study to Explore the Predictive Validity of 4 Measures of Falls Risk in Frail Elderly Patients Thomas JI, Lane JV. A pilot study to explore the predictive validity of 4 measures of falls risk in frail elderly patients. To test the hypothesis that sco... JI Thomas,JV Lane - 《Ar...
Inspection of agility and dynamic balance are two main indexes to achieve early identification of fall risk in the elderly [16] which can be used in addition to quantifying the body strength and mobility for evaluating the physiological capacity [15]. Through functional fitness performance, it can...
falls riskpolicypracticebest practiceThe aim of this study was to quantify the extent of needlestick underreporting, to examine factors which may contribute to underreporting, and to optimise the relevant risk management strategy. An 11-item structured postal questionnaire was adapted from an existing ...
[8] to plan the schedule for providing antenatal care (ANC) and expanded program on immunization (EPI) services to mothers and children in an under-served region. Hirata et al. [9] and Mutiara et al. [10] equipped a smart cane with proximity sensors to detect the fall of an elderly ...
The timing of puberty may have an important impact on adolescent mental health. In particular, earlier age at menarche has been associated with elevated rates of depression in adolescents. Previous research suggests that this relationship may be causal,
While developing a child health index is of interest, it is particularly important in the Indian context, because of a high burden of poor child health, the disparities in child health between different social, economic, and geographical regions and the absence of such a comprehensive index. This...
Respondents were asked in every survey wave whether they looked after or provided regular help to any sick, disabled, or elderly person inside or outside their household; the total hours per week spent caring, and to identify co-residents they helped whose relationship to them was derived using...
10. The overlapping SNPs between the BMI, BMI-adjusted HC, WC, and WHR SNPs are shown in Supplementary Fig. 11. To assess the specificity of the associations between obesity-related traits and CAD risk, we repeated the analyses after removing the overlapping SNPs. Overall, the associations of...
