Background: Sarcopenia is associated with loss of muscle mass and an increased risk physical disability in elderly people. However, the prevalence sarcopenia has obese populations. The purpose this study was to identify clinical efficacy elastic resistance exercise training (RET) patients sarcopenic obesity. Methods: This conducted at rehabilitation center a university-based teaching hospital designed as prospective randomized controlled trial intention-to-treat analysis. A total 46 women...
Abstract Background Few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) report interventions targeting improvement of frailty status as an outcome. Methods This RCT enrolled 117 older adults (65-79 years age) in Toufen, Taiwan who scored 3-6 on The Chinese Canadian Study Health and Aging Clinical Frailty Scale Telephone Version then score ≥1 the Cardiovascular Phenotypic Classification (CHS_PCF). With a two by factorial design, subjects were randomly assigned to (Exercise nutrition, EN, n = 55 or...

This study examined psychometric properties of a brief version the World Health Organization Quality Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) among persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and relations WHOQOL-BREF domains, including physical capacity, psychological wellbeing, social relationships, environment, to different indicators TBI severity. Of 354 eligible available subjects from 22 hospitals in northern Taiwan over 6-month period, 199 completed telephone interviews during data collection....
To compare both mortality and quality of life (QOL) across different illnesses, we propose an estimator to calculate the expected adjusted survival (QAS) by multiplying QOL into function. While function can be determined usual table method, data collected a cross-sectional survey among patients who are currently surviving. The area under QAS curve is thus utility health specific illness, which may take common unit year ready for outcome evaluation policy decision. A simulation performed...
