Aging womenPurpose of Review To review and discuss the efficacy of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for urinary incontinence (UI) in older women. Recent Findings As opposed to UI in young and middle-aged women, UI in older women is often multifactorial. One randomized control trial (RCT)...
The present study was conducted to provide normative values for lower-limb muscle power estimated through equations based on the 5 times sit-to-stand (5STS) test in Brazilian older women. In addition, we investigated the association between muscle power parameters and age. The study followed a ...
The role of higher habitual nitrate intake as part of a typical diet on muscle function in ageing has not been investigated. A cross‐sectional study of relationships between dietary nitrate and measures of muscle function in older community‐dwelling Australian women (n = 1420, ≥70 ...
Sit-to-stand (STS) movement is fundamental in daily life. STS tasks have been used to assess lower limb muscle strength, balance control, and functional ab
BACKGROUND: We have recently shown that 12 weeks of progressive aerobic exercise training improves whole-muscle size and function in older women. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate molecular markers that may be associated with muscle hypertrophy after aerobic training in aging skeletal ...
This cross-sectional study investigated the association between osteoporosis, grip strength, and skeletal muscle mass in community-dwelling older women. Data obtained from 265 older women who participated in a community-based health check survey (Tarumizu Study) were analyzed. Face-to-face interviews ...
inhibitor of arterial and soft tissue calcifications, with links to atherosclerosis42. Consistent with this, older women with severe abdominal aortic calcification have greater decline in grip strength over 5 years43. More recently a study suggested MGP may also regulate muscle development and atrophy...
SKELETAL MUSCLE FUNCTION AND GENDER: WOMEN AND MEN MIGHT BE DIFFERENT! We report for the first time the recombinant expression of fully folded bioactive cyclotides inside live yeast cells by using intracellular protein trans-s... J Kent-Braun,J Lexell - 《Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise...
Inspired by ‘chromotherapy’, the entry argues that ‘colours and behaviour are intimately related’, with individual colours linked to psycho-physiological responses: ‘yellow — antidepressant, generates muscle energy, stimulates bile flow’; ‘magenta — increases energy level, dignity’; ‘dark ...
To learn more about sarcopenic obesity and its effects on falls in older women, the team reviewed information from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). The full study includes health information—like weight, muscle mass, and experiences with falls—from more than 160,000 women aged 50 to 79...
