To investigate whether sarcopenic obesity is associated with the progression of atherosclerotic lesions in older patients diabetes and to identify components that best reflect atherosclerosis.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can be used for the early detection of abnormal changes in integrity cerebral white matter tracts, and we have previously reported that these are associated with indices atherosclerotic lesions. Although been demonstrated to incidence frailty older adults, no studies investigated this relationship patients at high risk vascular disease. In longitudinal study, followed outpatients cardiometabolic diseases a maximum 6 years (median, 3 years) evaluated association...
Abstract Background Older patients with diabetes mellitus are more susceptible to frailty. Although some imaging markers of appendicular skeletal muscle mass obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or computed tomography (CT) can reflect frailty status, the association between indices by abdominal CT scans and in older inpatients has not been reported. Methods A total 151 (median age, 79 years; men, 42%) who underwent close admission were studied examine associations We used two...
Introduction Frailty and depression may play important roles in the management of older patients with cardiometabolic diseases. We explored determinants depressive symptoms their association frailty among diseases (hypertension, diabetes, atrial fibrillation) a cross-sectional study. Methods A total 633 outpatients aged 65 years or disease suspected participated this Depressive symptoms, physical activity, social network were assessed using Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15, International...
