Alzheimer's disease is frequently encountered with nutrition-related conditions such as malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty, overnutrition, and micronutrient abnormalities in older patients. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of nutrition disorders same patient group.A total 253 patients underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment, which included disorders, malnutrition via Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF), frailty Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), sarcopenia was...
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the results of sleep hygiene education via a comprehensive geriatric assessment.
Cognitive impairment is one of the main risk factors for falls, and hence it commonly coexists with balance issues. Frailty sarcopenia are intertwined prevalent in dementia, closely related to falls. We aimed determine relationships fall disturbances, sarcopenia, frailty mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease (AD).The study enrolled 56 patients probable AD. A comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed, muscle strength mass, performance status, gait, were evaluated. All parameters...
Abstract Background Proponents argue that a high waist-to-calf ratio (WCR) may indicate an imbalance between muscle and fat in the body, making it potential predictor for sarcopenic obesity (SO). The WCR is new index incorporating both measurements, providing reliable approach assessing abdominal leg mass. present study aimed to examine association of with SO reveal predictive effect community-dwelling older adults. Methods population was composed 234 geriatric outpatients obesity....
Abstract Introduction Physical phenotype and the cumulative deficit model are two well-known concepts of frailty. One main components frailty is loss muscle mass function, which may also include swallowing muscles, therefore a risk factor for dysphagia. Since dysphagia seen starting from early stages Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), in this study we aimed to reveal relationship between dysphagia-related quality life through Swallow Quality Life (SwalQoL) tool patients with AD compare them...
Frailty is defined as a clinical syndrome of decreased reserve to stressors and strongly associated with increased disability, hospitalization, mortality rates (3).Frail older adults have poor prognosis for COVID-19, some guidelines recommend routine evaluation frailty status in COVID-19 patients (4).The majority studies published so far examined the AbstractObjective: To investigate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed symptomatic coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection incidence...
Abstract Background Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that characterized by increased vulnerability to intrinsic and extrinsic stressors due decreased biologic reserves. Muscle ultrasound (US) valid reliable method for assessing muscle quantity in older adults. The study aims examine the relationship between frailty definitions US-derived parameters. Methods We conducted cross-sectional with type 2 diabetes mellitus outpatients tertiary hospital, all participants underwent comprehensive...
Türkiye is a country with an increasing life expectancy and older adult population in parallel the rest of world. Several national small-scale studies were performed regarding prevalence characteristics dementia Türkiye, results these differ from each other. We aimed to determine present demographic characteristics, frequency use health services, management dementia.
Abstract Objectives Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any type of involuntary loss urine. Pathophysiological changes that occur in the urinary system due to aging, especially ischemia, cause functional and structural system. Oxidative stress caused by an imbalance between body’s oxidative radicals antioxidant defense systems. In this study, we aimed investigate link UI indicators older people. Methods Patients were divided into two groups: group with without incontinence. A...
Sars-CoV-2 infection influences older individuals at the forefront, and there is still limited data on COVID-19 vaccine response in geriatric population. This study aimed to assess antibody after vaccination with SARS-CoV-2 inactivated examine possible factors affecting this a population.individuals who have been least 28th day second dose of were included. Comprehensive assessment tools Clinical Frailty Scale performed. spike-specific IgG antibodies detected and, levels ≥1 U/ml defined as...
This study aimed to investigate the potential role of shear-wave elastography (SWE) in evaluating muscle quality and assess its association with strength mass.A total 129 patients aged 18-87 years were included. Patients >65 underwent comprehensive geriatric assessment. Anthropometric measurements, assessment physical performance, (handgrip [HGS]), mass (B-mode ultrasonography), (identified via SWE) performed for all patients.The median (interquartile range) age participants was 69 (59-76)...
End-of-life care has become an important public health issue in recent years. Place of death is a major component end-of-life care. Despite attempts to improve care, there not been published any data about place deaths Turkey. Aim: This retrospective, cross-sectional study investigates the and trends over years geriatric age groups Methods: Patients who were admitted outpatient clinic university hospital during 7-year period included. date information received from notification system...
Abstract Purpose Muscle ultrasound (US) is a trending method for sarcopenia diagnosis. In this study, we aimed to show the changes in rectus femoris (RF) muscle thickness, RF cross-sectional area, gastrocnemius medialis (GC) calf circumference (CC), and mid-upper arm (MAC) throughout different body mass index (BMI) categories. Therefore, planned find out their associations with probable regardless of age, sex, BMI. Methods This study was conducted geriatric outpatients (≥ 65 years). Waist...
