Increased life expectancy has resulted in growing numbers of elderly patients undergoing heart surgery. This study aimed to identify changes functional status among older adults coronary artery bypass grafting.
Aim To determine longitudinal changes in functional status using three assessment scales elderly patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods This was a prospective observational cohort study of 73 aged ≥60 years elective Patients were assessed for before admission, at hospital discharge, and 1 6 months after discharge the Functional Independence Measure, Katz Activities Daily Living scale, Lawton Instrumental scale. Data stratified by age (≥70 <70 years) complications...
The association between total mortality, lipoproteinS, and inflammatory markers, their implications with aging longevity are often controversial. Among the most studied markers low HDL cholesterol high C-reactive protein. Particularly in octogenarians, it is expected that impact of inclusion protein will improve stratification absolute cardiovascular risk. In present study, we performed a literature review PubMed about relation cholesterol, inflammation longevity. Applying exclusion criteria...
Background: Because the consequences of lifestyle changes in older adults associated with social isolation imposed response to COVID-19 pandemic are not fully understood, here, we investigated effects one year by on metabolic parameters and functional physical capacity women who regularly practiced exercises before pandemic. Methods: Systemic lipid protein profiles, estimated creatinine clearance (ECC), (FPC) were assessed (January-February 2020) 12 months after 30 (mean age 73.77 ± 6.22)...
Introduction: Immunosenescence is associated with changes in lymphocyte function, thymus atrophy, and a chronic inflammatory process referred to as “inflammaging,” which may part be linked eating disorders. Objective: The aim of the study was determine prevalence rate immunological alterations, including immune risk profile (IRP), their association body composition oldest old individuals. Methods: A cross-sectional 201 older adults aged 80 years over, able walk unaided, no cognitive or...
Systemic inflammatory processes can cause changes in cognition and functional capacity the general population. Currently there are no accessible biomarkers capable of early detection monitoring such pathologies, only few studies involving older than 80 years-old population were done. The C-reactive protein (CRP) blood counts low-cost tests that often performed routine basis. From it is possible to evaluate absolute count neutrophils lymphocytes, which peripheral markers. With these results,...
To examine the association of between serum fibroblast growth factor 23 and functional capacity among independent individuals, aged 80 or older.The 144 elderly was assessed by Instrumental Activities Daily Living, cognitive tests, handgrip strength timed ability to rise from a chair sit down five times. Fibroblast measured using an ELISA assay.Participants in lowest tertile had highest mean±standard deviation estimated glomerular filtration rate, mean hemoglobin level, average number...
ABSTRACT Background: The Brazilian population has aged rapidly. oldest old, defined as persons 80 years or older, is the fastest growing segment of population. Several instruments have been used to assess cognitive performance older people and predict dementia. One most commonly Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Objective: aim this study was investigate relationship between baseline MMSE score incidence dementia in a cohort independent old. Methods: Sociodemographic data serial...
Background: Nowadays, the relation between hypovitaminosis D and depression has been reported it is estimated that 1 billion people worldwide have vitamin deficiency or insufficiency. However, oldest old are not included under-represented in most of studies. Objective: To examine association depressive symptoms 25-hydroxyvitamin level (25(OH)Vit D) elderly aged 80 over who physically more active independent. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting Participants: Data collected from 182 people,...
Introduction: Some factors that contribute to active aging can benefit the raising number of oldest old people. Vitamin D and life style have shown impact on functionality mortality. Objective: Evaluating if 25(OH)D, outdoor activity time falls are predictors survival in independent old. Methods: We selected 258 community-dwelling elderly people with 80 years or more. evaluated mortality through death certificate register medical records from April 2010 March 2016. During analysis, we used...
Eating is essential in any stage of life, but it influenced by an array factors that affect our choice process. Regarding the elderly live alone, eating can be affected decline functional capacity and behaviors acquired because they alone.
