Filter by:The objective of the project is to establish the association between presbycusis and the incidence of frailty in humans in order to establish hearing loss with age as another index for the diagnosis of frailty; As well as studying the effect of exposure to polyphenols in the diet on presbycusis and frailty. Human study: volunteers between 60 and 99 years old, men and women during a period of 6 months, questions and answers, audiometries, study of fragility, analysis of antioxidants in blood, and samples of urine will be measured Total polyphenols and oxidant capacity.
People living with HIV are living longer as their disease is controlled with antiretroviral medications. Yet they are experiencing frailty more often and more than ten years earlier than those without HIV. In elderly persons without HIV, frailty is associated with decreased muscle strength and chronic inflammation. Less is known about what is driving early frailty in HIV or effective prevention measures for aging adults with HIV. It may be that having HIV infection impairs energy production by mitochondria within the cells and contributes to the muscle weakness and inflammation accompanying frailty in people living with HIV . This study will examine the impact of six weeks of moderately paced walking on energy production in the cells, inflammation markers and frailty scores in people living with well-controlled HIV who are aged 50 to 65.
This study evaluate Frailty syndrome (FS) as a common syndrome in patients with cirrhosis and it is an independent predictor of hospitalizations, falls and mortality. Identifying, treating and preventing FS can improve the prognosis and quality of life of these patients and reduce health costs.
Evaluate the feasibility of administering plasma (PF24) acquired from donors of a young chronological age intravenously to older adults at WFBMC while also exploring its effects on age-related functional decline
The aim of the study is to evaluate the short- and medium-term effectiveness of additional moderate dynamic resistance and balance training to the CR-program of old adults after valve surgery or intervention compared to usual care-CR.
The aim of the prospective study is to assess the feasibility of a screening and baseline measurement protocol that is planned for a main study (PRÄP-GO) in a collective of 30 patients ageing 70+ scheduled for elective surgery. Comprehensive geriatric assessment scores and modified Fried frailty phenotype component evaluation are performed in all patients at baseline before elective surgery. The assessment of cognitive tests is conducted with a battery of neuropsychological tests, computer-based tests from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery [CANTAB®] and non-computer based tests. Frailty scores from 0 to 5 (i.e., 1 point for each component; 0 = best to 5 = worst) represent robust (0), pre-frail (1-2), and frail (3-5) health status. 10 patients without Frailty, 10 patients with Pre-Frailty and 10 patients with Frailty should be analyzed in this study and receive further comprehensive geriatric assessment testing up to seven days after surgery/discharge (before 7 postoperative days).
There are few studies that already have validated specific raw accelerometer cut-points for people over 65 years old. The purpose of the present study is to validate raw accelerometer cut points for general people over 65 years old and specific raw accelerometer cut points based on the functional status of older adults over 65 years old. The study will be carried out with an observational approach. Participants will be divided into 4 groups. First of them will be made grouping all subjects and the rest divided according to their functional status. They will perform different-intensity physical activities while wearing accelerometers attached to their body and wearing a portable gas analyser too. Their intensity will be assessed based on their own Rest Metabolic Rate (RMR). Energy expenditure and accelerations will be matched and, based on that, sedentary behaviour, light physical activity and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity cut-points will be derived.
Sarcopenia and frailty are two major syndromes in older adults. They are shown to be associated with low levels of functioning and higher rates of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aim to report the prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty by using simple assessment methods such as SARC-F and FRAIL, respectively.
Heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is a disease with increasing prevalence world wide. Due to its etiological and prognostic relationship with hypertension, it is highly interesting to know the characteristics and influence of Blood pressure levels and of the hemodynamic biomarkers, measured by Ambulatory Blood Pressure measurement in the outcome of patients with (HF-PEF), defined by the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (hospital re-admissions, emergency room visits, functional decline and mortality). The investigators consider other factors such as Frailty, comorbidities, and the baseline functional capacity to asses the prognostic value.
The PolSenior2 survey is aimed to characterise health status of old and very-old adults in Poland.
