Background: Acute illness requiring hospitalization frequently is a sentinel event leading to long-term disability in older people. Prolonged bed rest increases the risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia in ...
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 ...
Effects of leucine-enriched whey protein supplementation on physical function in post-hospitalized older adults participating in 12-weeks of resistance training program: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Age-related strength and muscle mass loss is further increased after acute periods of inactivity. To avoid this, resistance training has been proposed as an effective countermeasure, but the additional effect of a protein ...
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 ...
