To assess the level of adherence, by active ingredient, to treatment and associated factors in polymedicated patients over 65 years-old.
Abstract Background Regarding the health care of older populations, WHO recommends shifting from disease-driven attention models towards a personalized, integrated and continuous aimed to maintenance enhancement functional capacities. Impairments in construct intrinsic capacity have been understood as condition frailty or vulnerability. No consensus has yet reached regarding which tools are most suitable for screening this kind patients primary settings. Tools based on measurement...

In the last few years several indices and tools, aimed at identifying frail subjects in various care settings have been developed. However, to date none of them has incorporated into usual practice primary setting. The purposes this study are: 1) evaluate predictive capacity Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI), Gérontopôle Screening Tool (GFST) KoS model together with two biomarker levels (SOX2 p16INK4a) for adverse events related frailty; 2) determine differences use healthcare services...
The Foot Posture Index (FPI) is a clinical tool for diagnosis that aims to quantify the grade of foot position as neutral, pronated, or supinated. Its purpose develop simple six-factor method rating posture with an easy and quantitative result. We evaluated possible differences in FPI by sex influences age, weight, height, size, body mass index (BMI) on posture.In 150 asymptomatic children (79 boys 71 girls) aged 8 13 years, we determined BMI, bipedal, static, relaxed position. was obtained...
