Background: Osgood-Schlatter (OS) syndrome is a disease of the musculoskeletal system often observed during bone growth phase in adolescents. Hypothesis/Purpose: Demographic and anthropometric factors those linked to practice sports may be related prevalence OS. The aim present study was describe epidemiologic profile associated individuals with OS population-based sample Brazilian Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: A cross-sectional conducted 956 adolescent...
<sec><strong>BACKGROUND</strong> The association of cardiovascular risk burden with disability is unclear. We examined the between trajectories Framingham general disease score (FGCRS) limitations physical function in older adults. </sec><sec><strong>METHODS</strong> A total 1219 participants no disabilities from International Mobility Aging Study (IMIAS) study who had up to three repeated measures FGCRS 2012–2016 and without a history stroke or coronary heart at baseline follow-up were...
Introduction: Frailty is a complex geriatric syndrome with multifaceted etiology. We aimed to identify the best combinations of risk factors that predict development frailty using recursive partitioning models. Methods: analyzed reports from 1,724 community-dwelling men and women aged 65–74 years participating in International Mobility Aging Study (IMIAS). was measured phenotype scale included five physical components: unintentional weight loss, weakness, slow gait, exhaustion, low activity....

Osteosarcopenia is a complex geriatric syndrome characterized by the presence of both sarcopenia and osteopenia/osteoporosis. This condition increases rates disability, falls, fractures, mortality, mobility impairments in older adults. The purpose this study was to analyze Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy diagnostic power for osteosarcopenia community-dwelling women (n = 64; 32 osteosarcopenic non-osteosarcopenia). FTIR fast reproducible technique highly sensitive biological...
Methods: Cross-sectional survey of a population adults 65 years and older (n=256) in Natal (northeast Brazil). Depression was defined the Center for Epidemiologic Symptoms Scale (CES-D ≥ 16). We used 12 items validated version Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) to classify participants four gender roles (Masculine, Feminine, Androgynous Undifferentiated). Poisson regressions were fitted estimate prevalence ratios (PR) depression each role compared with masculine role, adjusting sex, age,...
Population aging increases the need to better understand determinants of hospitalization in order improve quality services. However, usual health measures often prove be poorly predictive hospitalization. The aim this research is determine whether physiological designed for older adults, namely Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) (Guralnik et al., 1994), frailty phenotypes (Fried 2001), and profiles functional decline (Lunney 2003), are predictors hospital use. We use longitudinal data...
Introduction Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, neurodegenerative, and immune-mediated disease that affects the central nervous system. Usually co-occurs with difficulties in emotional regulation psychopathology. Anxiety one of most common psychiatric manifestations patients MS. Nonetheless, empirical evidences on joint predictive effect MS clinical conditions emotion processes development anxiety are scarce. Objectives This preliminary study aimed to explore whether fatigue,...
