Filter by:The goal of this quasi-experimental pilot study is to evaluate the effect of a multi-component intervention in women between 55 and 75 years old at risk of sarcopenia. The main question it aims to answer are: What is the effect of a multi-component intervention in women at risk of sarcopenia? Participants will twelve women between 55 and 75 years old with risk of sarcopenia, who agreed through written informed consent for participate 12 weeks with 24 sessions included dancing, resistance exercises, and nutritional education. The outcomes were muscle mass, grip strength, gait speed and body composition. The effects were measured before and after the intervention, under a self-controlled design.
In men, the hope of lower life, the absence of equivalent of menopause and the existence of a higher peak bone mass are the three factors that explain the lower incidence of osteoporosis in men.
In men, the hope of lower life, the absence of equivalent of menopause and the existence of a higher peak bone mass are three factors that explain the lower incidence of osteoporosis in men. Epidemiological data indicate a prevalence of 15% among men aged over 50 years (Szulc et al. 2000). According to global analyzes, the number of fractures of the upper end of the femur in humans will increase from 400 000 to 800 000 per year between 2000 and 2025 (Kanis et al. 2004). Furthermore the mortality due to major osteoporotic fractures when they occur in humans than that seen in women (Johnell and al.2001).The main goal of this study is to establish reference curves in elderly male volunteers from 20 to 30 years through the assessment of bone mineral density of the spine, hip, and the measurement of body composition (fat mass, lean mass). This study will allow us to establish the mean and standard deviation of the value of the young adults of the same sex, which will eventually be applied in the calculation of the "T-score" for older people.
The purpose of this study is to determine a surgical technique is effective in the treatment of acute dorsal trans-scaphoid perilunate dislocations.
