Role for physical fitness in the association between age and cognitive function in older adults: a mediation analysis of the SABE colombia study
(MDPI, 2021)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Objectives. We investigated the association between physical fitness and cognitive status. Further, we examined whether physical fitness mediates the association between cognitive functioning and aging. Design. Cross-sectional ...
Gait speed as a mediator of the effect of sarcopenia on dependency in activities of daily living
(Wiley, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Background: Sarcopenia in older adults is strongly associated with an increase in dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) and with a decline in gait speed. Interestingly, gait speed has been shown to independently ...
Relative handgrip strength diminishes the negative effects of excess adiposity on dependence in older adults: a moderation analysis
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The adverse effects of fat mass on functional dependence might be attenuated or worsened, depending on the level of muscular strength. The aim of this study was to determine (i) the detrimental effect of excess adiposity ...
Reference values for handgrip strength and their association with intrinsic capacity domains among older adults
(Wiley, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Objective The purposes of this study were three-fold: (i) to describe handgrip strength in older individuals aged >= 60 years in Colombia; (ii) to identify sex-specific and age-specific muscle weakness cut-off points in ...
Glucose levels as a mediator of the detrimental effect of abdominal obesity on relative handgrip strength in older adults
(MDPI, 2020)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Excess central adiposity accelerates the decline of muscle strength in older people. Additionally, hyperglycemia, independent of associated comorbidities, is related to the loss of muscle mass and strength, and contributes ...
Obesity-and lipid-related parameters in the identification of older adults with a high risk of prediabetes according to the American diabetes association: an analysis of the 2015 health, well-being, and aging study
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This study evaluated the predictive ability of 11 obesity-and lipid-related parameters, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WtHR), body roundness index (BRI), 'A' body-shape ...
Validation of surrogate anthropometric indices in older adults: what is the best indicator of high cardiometabolic risk factor clustering?
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
The present study evaluated the ability of five obesity-related parameters, including a body shape index (ABSI), conicity index (CI), body roundness index (BRI), body mass index (BMI), and waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) for ...
