The study aimed to investigate the reliability, construct, and discriminant validity of Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire 3 (BREQ-3) for evaluating motivational regulations self-determination exercise Brazilian adults aged 50 years or older. assessed motivation exercise, peripheral muscle strength, physical performance, functional capacity, cardiovascular fitness, frailty phenotype. Two raters independently applied BREQ-3. reliability was evaluated using internal consistency,...
Fluorescent particles can be markers of bioaerosols and are therefore relevant to nosocomial infections. To date, little research has focused on fluorescent in occupied indoor environments, particularly hospitals. In this study, we aimed determine the spatial temporal variation two large hospitals Brisbane, Australia (one for adults one children). We used an Ultraviolet Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (UVAPS) identify particle sources, as well their contribution total concentrations. found that...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) assessment test (CAT) reflects functional status patients with COPD. Forty-seven underwent anthropometric assessment, spirometry, 6-minute walk (6MWT), Glittre-activity daily living (ADL) (TGlittre), London Chest ADL (LCADL) scale, and CAT. total score CAT correlated 6MWT distance, TGlittre time spent, LCADL%total ( r = -0.56, 0.52, 0.78, respectively; p < 0.05 for all). There significant...
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder that affects approximately 1 billion people worldwide. Advanced age significant risk factor. Various treatment options have been explored to reduce the severity of OSA symptoms and physical exercise has emerged as potential alternative therapy. Therefore, this study aims investigate effects combined program with education on quality in older adults. Methods This randomized clinical trial two parallel groups will involve...
BACKGROUND: the assessment of functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been performed by simple and easy to apply methods that mimic everyday activities, such as Chester step test (TChester). OBJECTIVES: investigate whether TChester is able differentiate magnitude cardiorespiratory response COPD from healthy subjects; compare it induced shuttle (TShuttle) six-minute walk (6MWT). METHOD: 10 (64±10 years, forced expiratory volume at first second -...
Chronic hypoxemia in patients with COPD is a limiting factor that associated disease progression and significantly contributes to decreased physical activity. Although correction of results physiological improvements, oxygen therapy may be related social isolation inactivity. However, few studies have objectively investigated the level activity daily life (PADL) these patients. The objective this study was compare PADL subjects on home no therapy, investigate whether PADL.In study, 29...
ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and asthma, according to body mass index (BMI), as well evaluate factors associated with physician-diagnosed in individuals ≥ 40 years age. Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted Florianópolis, Brazil, probability sampling. Data were collected during home visits. Demographic data collected, reports symptoms, medications use, comorbidities. Anthropometric measurements taken. Individuals also...
RESUMO Objetivo Identificar preditores de óbito na Unidade Terapia Intensiva e relacionar pacientes elegíveis para cuidados paliativos preferenciais. Método Coorte prospectivo que avaliou internados por mais 24 horas, subdivididos em G1 (pacientes morreram) G2 com alta hospitalar). Para a identificação dos fatores o desfecho óbito, foi feita ao médico intensivista “pergunta-surpresa” foram coletados dados clínico-demográficos pacientes. Os analisados estatística descritiva/inferencial...
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores in adults with and without COPD, as well to compare the CAT for nonsmokers, former smokers, smokers those patients COPD. Methods: This was a cross-sectional population-based study (the Respira Floripa study). The included ≥ 40 years of age residing city Florianópolis, Brazil. A total 846 households were surveyed. In addition completing questionnaire CAT, participants underwent pulmonary function testing. Results: We analyzed...
INTRODUÇÃO: A ansiedade é um diagnóstico comum encontrado em idosos e se associa comumente a anormalidades respiratórias. Ligado ao envelhecimento, encontra-se também o sedentarismo, qual importante fator de risco para diversas patologias. prática atividade física regular melhora condição cardiorrespiratória. Entre os tipos atividades físicas, dança destaca-se como uma boa opção idosos. OBJETIVO: Descrever parâmetros respiratórios idosas praticantes quando comparadas com sedentárias...
Elderly patients are more susceptible to Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) and likely develop it in severe forms, (e.g., Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [ARDS]). Prone positioning is a treatment strategy for ARDS; however, its response the elderly population remains poorly understood. The main objective was evaluate predictive mortality of exposed prone due ARDS-COVID-19.This retrospective multicenter cohort study involved 223 aged ≥ 65 years, who received position sessions ARDS...
Objectives: To evaluate the reliability and learning effect of five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5STSt) in severe very chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients on domiciliary oxygen therapy compare results with those COPD not such therapy. Methods: Twenty-eight were included group (DOTG) 17 control (CG). The participants groups paired by age, sex, body mass index, lung function. performed two 5STSt (5STSt1 5STSt2). Results: In total, 96% DOTG better second (5STSt2) (17.1 ±...
