Accordingly, we evaluated the prevalence of sarcopenia and its associated risk factors among community-dwelling DM. Methods A cross-sectional analysis people living community was carried out. Participants (aged 75 years more) came from an European multicenter prospective cohort (SCOPE study). Global geriatric assessment including short physical performance battery, handgrip strength test bioelectrical...

All patients underwent a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), including...
Different mechanisms connect the nutritional status with occurrence and course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The end-stage renal is complicated by catabolic inflammatory reactions cachexia which leads to malnutrition (undernutrition). On other hand, obesity an important risk factor for development acceleration CKD.In SCOPE study, community-dwelling persons aged 75 years over, from 6 European countries Israel were examined at baseline phase. We assessed relationship between anthropometric...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Sarcopenia, heart failure (HF), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are common among the older people. Our objective was to evaluate frequency of sarcopenia, community-dwelling adults with HF, possible causative factors, additive factor CKD. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A cross-sectional analysis 1,420 people living in community carried out. Participants (aged 75 years more) came from a European multicenter prospective cohort...
Abstract Background age-adapted definition of chronic kidney disease (CKD) does not take individual risk factors into account. We aimed at investigating whether functional impairments influence CKD stage which mortality increases among older people. Methods our series consisted 2,372 outpatients aged 75 years or more enrolled in a multicentre international prospective cohort study. The study outcome was 24-month mortality. Kidney function assessed by estimated glomerular filtration rate...
Abstract Background Fear of falling (FoF) is an important risk factor for falls among older people. The objectives our investigations were: a.) to present characteristics community-dwelling (CD) fallers with persistent or transient FoF (P-FoF T-FoF) over 12 months, and b.) investigate clinical predictors P-FoF T-FoF c.) explore differences between T-FoF. Methods Our series consisted 389 people reporting a fall injurious at baseline during 24 months follow-up participating in multicenter...
To cover the increasing need for professional knowledge, skills and competences in care of older people, new learning techniques have been developed.

Since first launch "massive open online course" (MOOC) 2008, this format raised interest among education experts. The current publication provides insight MOOCs general specifically describes MOOC...
We aimed at investigating to what extent CKD may be staged interchangeably by three different eGFR equations in older people, and evaluating the source of discrepancies among a population 2257 patients than 75 years enrolled multicenter observational study. was calculated CKD-EPI, BIS FAS equations. Statistical analysis carried out Bland-Altman analysis. κ statistic used quantify agreement between classifying stages. The impact selected variables on difference graphically explored. average...
