Where cross-sectional studies cannot rule out reverse causality, our data strengthens the likelihood of direction of the associations between physical behaviours and muscle mass indices found here. We are additionally the first to report on the associations of change in physical behaviours with ...
Sleep problems can be caused by psychological stress but are also related to cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Improving lifestyle behaviors, such as good sleep hygiene, can help to counteract the negative effects of neurodegenerative diseas
This study aimed to explore all the relevant subtypes of cognitive frailty among Japanese community-dwelling older adults with multimorbidity. Moreover, it examined the associations between these potential subtypes of cognitive frailty and social relatio
anorexia, depression, weakness, dyspnea, and confusion, from comorbid chronic illnesses. We cannot rule out the possibility that severe symptoms might have caused patients to move to hospitals from their homes; nevertheless, these data indicate that the debilitating symptoms of older adults at the ...
33 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the final analysis (Figure 1). For each included study, the following data were extracted: (1) first author and publication year; (2) main result (relationships shown in arrows); (3) dependent variable if the trial was randomized and controlled...
Overall, RASi remain one of the primary interventions in diabetic nephropathy to prevent the progression of CKD. An approximate 5-year risk reduction for ESKD of 30% with use of RASi is a useful rule of thumb, although specific benefits in patient subsets may vary [105]....
Introduction: Regular aerobic exercise is associated with better executive function in older adults. It is unclear if high-intensity-interval-training (HIIT) elicits moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or resistance training (RT). We hypothesiz
Furthermore, we cannot rule out that individuals changed their lifestyle during the intervention. With respect to physical activity, it can be assumed that at least step counts were similar between groups and did not change over time, but it cannot be excluded that other activities not detected...
This finding has a clinically important implication as the rule of fear of falling in terms of fall prevention has recently received greater attention because the subjective psychological aspect of fear and anxiety should be considered as a fall risk [71]. Similarly, this study [3] demonstrated ...
The Tinetti Test, which includes a gait and balance examination, was used to rule out impaired mobility during walking. However, the range of motion of the shoulder joint was a problem in a few participants, which resulted in some tasks not being performed under a clean execution. For an ex...
