Filter by:Older with Chronic obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) were submitted to chronic whole body vibration training during 03 months, receiving a vitamine D dose for each week or placebo vitamine. This group was compared with healthy older which were submitted to the same intervention.
Verify the influence off vitamin D supplementation and a whole body vibration (WBV) protocol during 03 months in older patients chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Evaluation of heart rate variability in time and frequency domains, in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) after 03 months of vitamine D supplementation and whole body vibration (WBV) training
This study investigates the effect of dietary inorganic nitrate supplementation on 1) large elastic artery stiffness and hemodynamics and 2) cerebrovascular function in middle-aged and older adults. Participants will be randomized to consume either nitrate-containing or nitrate-depleted beetroot juice.
The research proposed here will evaluate whether a web-based recreation intervention, called ArtontheBrain, has positive health benefits to older adult users. ArtontheBrain incorporates three basic activities; learning (history of the artwork), play (telling stories, solving puzzles) and socializing with other users, either in person or online. It can be used alone, with another person, or in a group. It is modeled after participatory arts-based interventions which studies have shown are associated with health benefits in older adults, such as improved sense of well-being, physical health, decreased risk of dementia, and reduced need for health services. Our study will test ArtontheBrain at research sites and health agencies in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. with older adults with and without cognitive decline. The study will also examine how well that app can support different user play modalities and whether it can effect positive health outcomes similar to face-to-face arts interventions.
This is a multi-centre, randomized controlled trial comparing operative and non operative treatment for displaced patella fractures in elderly, low-demand patients.
To assess the safety, efficacy and patient satisfaction associated with the treatment of facial wrinkles using the Secret Micro-Needle Fractional RF System® (Ilooda Co., Ltd., Suwon, South Korea).
Obese older adults will be randomized to participate in either healthy lifestyle intervention or behavioral diet and exercise intervention for one year. This study aims to determine the effects of Lifestyle intervention on bone microarchitecture, bone strength, bone material properties, and the mechanism behind it.
The purpose of this project is to conduct a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) to determine if choice of antihypertensive medication influences changes in functional status and other cardiovascular risk factors among older persons with hypertension when combined with physical exercise.
This study is intended to clarify the benefits to brain health and thinking processes that result from different forms of exercise. In particular, this study will investigate the possible benefits of physical exercise (such as pedaling an under-table stationary elliptical) or mental exercise (such as playing a videogame on a portable tablet), or combining these activities together (as in the iPACES™ exergame).
