The World Health Organization (WHO) recently endorsed the proposal for a Decade of Healthy Ageing (2020–2030). WHO defines "healthy aging" as "the process developing and maintaining functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age." Among strategies Ageing, has suggested enhancing intrinsic capacity, promoting ability, implementing Integrated Care Older People (ICOPE) package. defined steps ICOPE evaluation scale-up is performing prospective study 2–3 countries (low middle income, high...
Anorexia is a relevant geriatric syndrome because it accounts for most malnutrition in older adults. Constipation has been suggested as risk factor anorexia. This study aimed to examine the association between anorexia and functional constipation community-dwelling Data on 899 subjects aged 72–86 years were obtained from follow-up survey of Korean Frailty Aging Cohort Study 2018. was assessed using Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ), while diagnosed based Rome IV criteria....
Background In older adults, the risk of frailty is higher among those who are unmarried than married. However, no study has reported about relationship between cohabitation status and frailty. Methods This cross-sectional included 2,128 community-dwelling adults aged 70 84 years underwent interviews physical function assessments for Korean Frailty Aging Cohort Study. The definition was derived from Fried phenotype. Cohabitation categorized as âliving aloneâ, âwith spouse onlyâ,...
Background: Osteoporosis is one of the inevitable diseases affecting an aging society, substantially impacting quality life its population.Protein intake has been shown to be beneficial in reducing incidence osteoporosis, and effects both animal vegetable proteins have studied.However, relationship between processed meat consumption osteoporosis not studied Korea.Therefore, we aimed analyze correlation incident adults.Methods: Our analysis included 1,260 adults aged 50 years older from...
Aim Calf circumference (CC) measurement has been used for assessing skeletal muscle mass and screening sarcopenia. However, there is no gold standard method CC assessment. Methods We analyzed 1439 participants (mean age 75.9 ± 3.8 years, 47.7% men) from the 2017 baseline survey of Korean Frailty Aging Cohort Study. was measured, using a tape, on both sides in standing sitting positions. For sarcopenia, diagnostic criteria Asian Working Group Sarcopenia 2019 used. Results The mean left side...
<title>Abstract</title> While Tumor-restraining cancer-associated fibroblasts (Tr-CAFs) have been investigated in various cancers, their existence colorectal cancer remains unexplored. We performed a comprehensive analysis of diverse datasets, including single-cell RNAseq/ATACseq data from samples, TCGA RNAseq, and histological samples. identified fibroblast subpopulation uniquely expressing ADAMDEC1, CXCL14, EDNRB, PROCR, strongly associated with favorable patient outcomes, implicating role...
Background:The purpose of this study was to use machine learning identify risk factors (other than systolic and diastolic blood pressure) for hypertension. Methods:The population comprised 23,170 adults (selected from the KNHANES 2016-2019), whom 7,500 (32.4%) had hypertension.We developed learning-based classification models diagnosing hypertension using computerized demographic examination survey database subjects study.Random forest (RF)-and gradient boosting (GBM)-based algorithms were...
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and depression are common frequently misdiagnosed in older adults primary care. In particular, combined with dysfunction is associated a higher risk of dementia. We tried to find the usefulness orientation time as an easy case-finding tool for suspecting MCI or depression. This cross-sectional study included 2668 community-dwelling aged 70-84 years from Korean Frailty Aging Cohort Study (mean age 76.0 ± 3.9 years). was defined based on criteria National...
Resilience refers to the ability recover function after encounter with stressors. While psychological resilience cope stress, physical functional restoration biomedical challenges. However, there is no gold standard assess resilience. Accordingly, we explored whether perceived recovery time from common cold could be used represent resilience.We analyzed data of individuals aged 72-86 years who had participated in Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study 2019. Among 1,455 survey participants,...
