Few school settings offer opportunities for preschool children to engage in structured physical activity, and only a few studies have been conducted examining exergaming's effectiveness on health outcomes this age group. This study's purpose, therefore, was examine school-based exergaming intervention's effect children's perceived competence (PC), motor skill (MSC), activity versus usual care (recess), as well gender differences these outcomes.A total of 65 from 2 underserved urban schools...
Aerobic exercise has shown inconsistent cognitive effects in older adults with Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia.
Objective. To examine the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and associations concentration with disease status in African Americans rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. Study participants (n = 266) were enrolled Consortium for Longitudinal Evaluation Early RA (CLEAR) Registry. The 25(OH)-D was measured on baseline plasma, (baseline at 3 years’ duration) examined using univariate multivariate regression. Results. (≤ 37.5 nmol/l or 15 ng/ml) 50%, highest winter. In unadjusted analyses,...
Nurses are key staff members of health‐care organizations. Nurse engagement directly influences quality care and organizational performance. The purpose the present study was to understand state work explore its predictors among registered nurses in China by using a descriptive, cross‐sectional survey design ( n = 1065). Work measured with Chinese version Utrecht Engagement Scale. results showed that average 3.54 (standard deviation 1.49), nurses' age (β .16, t 5.32), job characteristics...
Many nursing home residents are unoccupied and at risk for poor health outcomes because of inactivity. The purpose this study was to identify characteristics with dementia that predict engagement in activities when implemented under ideal conditions. Data from a clinical trial tested the efficacy individually prescribed were used address aim. Thirty subjects videotaped daily 12 days during 20-minute activity sessions. Measures (time on task level participation) taken these videotapes....
Since no effective therapies exist for Alzheimer's disease (AD), prevention has become more critical through lifestyle status changes and interventions. Analyzing electronic health records (EHRs) of patients with AD can help us better understand lifestyle's effect on AD. However, information is typically stored in clinical narratives. Thus, the objective study was to compare different natural language processing (NLP) models classifying statuses (e.g., physical activity excessive diet) from...
Background High-density lipoprotein (HDL) modulates the blood-brain barrier and cerebrovascular integrity, likely influencing risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), neurodegeneration, cognitive decline. Objective This study aims to identify HDL protein cargo associated with brain amyloid deposition volume in regions vulnerable AD pathology older adults. Methods was separated from plasma 65 non-demented participants Atherosclerosis Risk Communities (ARIC) using a fast liquid chromatography method....
ABSTRACT Background The number of individuals living alone with dementia is increasing throughout the world, and they have unique needs that are poorly understood. aim this integrative review was to understand characteristics, needs, perspectives as well available community resources guide future research clinical practice. Methods Electronic (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO) manual searches were utilized identify articles using MeSH terms. Among 5693 identified articles, 31 met eligibility...
Background Evidence on the effects of different exercise interventions cognitive function is insufficient. Aims To evaluate feasibility and remotely supervised aerobic (AE) resistance (RE) in older adults with mild impairment (MCI). Methods This study a 6-month pilot three-arm randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants (n=108) were recruited to AE group, RE group or control (CON) 1:1:1 ratio. Interventions delivered at home remote supervision. We evaluated participants’ global...
Aerobic exercise is a promising behavioral therapy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), yet few studies have investigated the effect of aerobic on cognition in AD. The purpose this pilot study was to examine 6-month change executive function, global cognition, quality life (QOL), and depression community-dwelling older adults with mild moderate A single group, repeated measures design outcomes measured at baseline, 3 months, 6 months used. Results show that there were no significant changes any...
Alzheimer's disease, a global public health issue, accounts for 60 to 80% of all dementias. disease primarily causes cognitive impairment and drugs have only modest short-term effects, highlighting pressing need develop effective interventions. Aerobic exercise holds promise treating in through biologically sound mechanisms. Nonetheless, aerobic studies are limited with mixed findings. This pilot randomized controlled trial will investigate the effects 6-month, individualized,...
