Ancianos incluidos en un programa de recuperación funcional: Plan de formación para cuidadores principales de pacientes geriátricos
INTRODUCCIÓN: Los ancianos son una población vulnerable, que además de desarrollar los cambios propios del envejecimiento sufren afecciones agudas que con frecuencia requieren ingreso hospitalario. El ingreso puede ... -
Comment on 'Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity' by Casas-Herrero et al.-The authors reply.
In this response letter, we would like to clarify some aspects related to the methodology and inferences derived from our work entitled 'Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity', which was ... -
Effect of a multicomponent exercise program and cognitive stimulation (VIVIFRAIL-COGN) on falls in frail community older persons with high risk of falls: study protocol for a randomized multicenter control trial
Background: Falls represent important drivers of intrinsic capacity losses, functional limitations and reduced quality of life in the growing older adult’s population, especially among those presenting with frailty. Despite ... -
Effectiveness of a multimodal intervention in functionally impaired older people with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background: Type 2 diabetes, a highly prevalent chronic disease, is associated with increasing frailty and functional decline in older people. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multimodal intervention on functional ... -
Effects of combined resistance and power training on cognitive function in older women: a randomized controlled trial
The present study compared the effects of traditional resistance training (TRT) and combined power training (PT) and TRT (PTRT) on cognitive parameters and serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in non-demented, ... -
Effects of different doses of high-speed resistance training on physical performance and quality of life in older women: a randomized controlled trial
Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of two frequencies of high-speed resistance training (HSRT) on physical performance and quality of life of older women. Methods: A total of 24 older women participated ... -
Effects of multicomponent exercise training on the intrinsic capacity in frail older adults: review of clinical trials
Aim: To review the effects of multicomponent exercise training on the domains of the intrinsic capacity of physically frail older adults: locomotion, vitality, cognition, psychological outcomes, and sensory function. ... -
Effects of Vivifrail multicomponent intervention on functional capacity: a multicentre, randomized controlled trial
Background: physical exercise is an effective strategy for preserving functional capacity and improving the symptoms of frailty in older adults. In addition to functional gains, exercise is considered to be a cornerstone ... -
Ejercicio físico como intervención eficaz en el anciano frágil
El síndrome de la fragilidad define a los ancianos vulnerables que tienen un riesgo elevado de sufrir eventos adversos. Su fisiopatología y etiopatogenia es compleja, pero actualmente disponemos de medidas sencillas ... -
Ejercicio físico en el anciano frágil: una manera eficaz de prevenir la dependencia
Los beneficios del ejercicio físico en el envejecimiento y, específicamente, en la fragilidad han sido objeto de reciente investigación científica. En el anciano, la práctica de actividad física regular se asocia a una ... -
Exercise as therapeutic agent to improve intrinsic capacity in older adults
Frailty has emerged as one of the most relevant clinical syndromes, due to its direct relationship with adverse health effects such as physical and functional decline and institutionalization. Physical inactivity has been ... -
Frailty assessment based on trunk kinematic parameters during walking
Background: Physical frailty has become the center of attention of basic, clinical and demographic research due to its incidence level and gravity of adverse outcomes with age. Frailty syndrome is estimated to affect 20 % ... -
Inter-individual variability in response to exercise intervention or usual care in hospitalized older adults
Background: Exercise protocols applied during hospitalization can prevent functional and cognitive decline in older adults. The purpose of this study was to examine the individual response of acutely hospitalized patients ... -
Lipidomic signatures from physically frail and robust older adults at hospital admission
Identifying serum biomarkers that can predict physical frailty in older adults would have tremendous clinical value for primary care, as this condition is inherently related to poor quality of life and premature mortality. ... -
Mortality risks after two years in frail and pre-frail older adults admitted to hospital
Background: Frailty is characterized by a progressive decline in the physiological functions of multiple body systems that lead to a more vulnerable condition, which is prone to the development of various adverse events, ... -
A multi-domain group-based intervention to promote physical activity, healthy nutrition and psychological wellbeing in older people with losses in intrinsic capacity: AMICOPE development study
The World Health Organization has developed the Integrated Care of Older People (ICOPE) strategy, a program based on the measurement of intrinsic capacity (IC) as 'the composite of all physical and mental attributes on ... -
Polypharmacy in older people: time to take action
The management of polypharmacy in older patients involves a paradigm shift that abandons the disease as the axis of health care towards an integral approach linked to multidisciplinary work, dedication and specifc preparation ... -
Strength and endurance training prescription in healthy and frail elderly
Aging is associated with declines in the neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems, resulting in an impaired capacity to perform daily activities. Frailty is an age-associated biological syndrome characterized by decreases ... -
Survival of frail elderly with delirium
This study aims to determine when frailty increases the risks of delirium mortality. Hospital patients falling into the elderly frail or pre-frail category were recruited, some without delirium, some with delirium at ... -
Valoración de la capacidad funcional en el ámbito domiciliario y en la clínica. Nuevas posibilidades de aplicación de la acelerometría para la valoración de la marcha, equilibrio y potencia muscular en personas mayores
Dentro de cualquier población de individuos mayores de 65 años, una proporción sustancial (entre el 6% y el 25%) sufre diferentes síntomas del síndrome de fragilidad. A pesar de la complejidad del termino fragilidad y de ...
