Background Breathlessness is a troublesome and prevalent symptom in the population, but knowledge of related factors scarce. The aim this study was to identify most strongly associated with breathlessness general population describe shapes associations between main breathlessness. Methods A cross-sectional analysis carried out multicentre population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) adults aged 50 64 years. defined as modified Medical Research Council rating ≥2. machine...
Healthcare professionals often meet pain patients with a poor nutritional status such as obesity, unhealthy dietary behaviors, and suboptimal intake. A may play significant role in the occurrence, development, prognosis of chronic pain. This study investigated eating habits specialized rehabilitation center using data (N = 2152) from Swedish quality registry for during period 2016-2021. Patients answered lifestyle questionnaire regarding their desire to modify lifestyle. The mean (SD)...
Background Long-term pathological breathlessness is a life-limiting symptom that risks taking control of the individual's life. We aimed to evaluate how locus (LOC), an perceived present and past life events, relates in middle-aged general population. Methods A population-based, cross-sectional analysis people 50–64 years Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS). Breathlessness was measured using modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale. LOC assessed five-point scales related...

Introduction Breathlessness is debilitating and increases in prevalence with age, people progressively reducing their everyday activities to ‘self-manage’ it. This study aimed evaluate the impact of breathlessness on function terms that have been reduced or ceased (‘compromised’) older men. Methods A cross-sectional postal survey Swedish 73-year-old man VAScular Chronic Obstructive Lung disease self-reporting demographics, (modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale, Dyspnoea-12,...
To evaluate which factors are the most strongly related to self-perceived health among older men and describe shape of association between using machine learning. This is a cross-sectional study within population-based VAScular Chronic Obstructive Lung disease (VASCOL) conducted in southern Sweden 2019. A total 475 aged 73 years from VASCOL dataset. Self-perceived was measured first item Short Form 12. An extreme gradient-boosting model trained classify as better (rated: excellent or very...
Persistent breathlessness is debilitating and increases in prevalence with advanced age at end of life. This study aimed to evaluate any relationship between self-reported global impressions change (GIC) perceived health older men.Cross-sectional 73-year-old Swedish men the VAScular Chronic Obstructive Lung disease study. A postal survey included items on changes (GIC scales) (assessed using modified Medical Research Council [mMRC] scale, Dyspnea-12 Multidimensional Dyspnea Scale) since...
Breathlessness is common in the general population. Existing data were obtained primarily with uni-dimensional modified Medical Research Council breathlessness scale (mMRC) that does not assess intensities of unpleasantness nor physical, emotional and affective dimensions. The aim this research was to determine prevalence intensity these dimensions elderly males any associations their duration, change over time mMRC grade. We conducted a population-based, cross-sectional study 73-year-old...
Abstract Background The Dyspnoea-12 (D12) and Multidimensional dyspnea profile (MDP) are commonly used instruments for assessing multiple dimensions of breathlessness but have not been validated in older people the population. aim this study was to validate D12 MDP 73-years old men terms instruments’ underlying factor structures, internal consistency, validity. Methods A postal survey sent out a population sample ( n = 1,193) southern Sweden. two-factor structures were evaluated with...
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is essential for human wellbeing, influenced by a complex interplay factors, and reported lower in women than men. We aimed to evaluate which factors were the most important HRQoL middle-aged general population.This was cross-sectional, multi-centre study 29,212 men (48%) (52%) aged 50-64 population Sweden. Physical mental (0-100) assessed using Short Form 12 questionnaire, association evaluated 356 variables including demographics, lifestyle, symptoms,...
Purpose Despite data showing breathlessness to be more prevalent in older adults, we have little detail about the severity or multidimensional characteristics of and other self-reported measures (such as quality life cardiorespiratory-related symptoms) this group at population level. We also know relationship between breathlessness, symptoms, comorbidities future clinical outcomes such life, hospitalisation mortality. This paper reports design descriptive findings from first two waves a...
Breathlessness is a multidimensional symptom prevalent in elderly affecting many aspects of life. We aimed to determine how different dimensions breathlessness are associated with physical and mental quality life (QoL) men.This was cross-sectional, population-based analysis 672 men aged 73 years Swedish county. assessed using Dyspnoea-12 (D-12) Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile (MDP), QoL the Short Form 12 scores. Scores were compared as z-scores across scales analysed multivariable linear...
Breathlessness and fatigue are common symptoms in older people. We aimed to evaluate how different breathlessness dimensions (overall intensity, unpleasantness, sensory descriptors, emotional responses) were associated with elderly men.This was a cross-sectional analysis of the population-based VAScular disease Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (VASCOL) study 73-year old men. assessed using Dyspnoea-12 (D-12), Multidimensional Dyspnoea Profile (MDP), modified Medical Research Council (mMRC)...
<b>Background</b>: Breathlessness is a troublesome and prevalent symptom in the general population there need to identify factors most strongly associated symptom. <b>Aims objectives</b>: The aim of this study was breathlessness population. <b>Methods</b>: A cross-sectional analysis data from population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) adults 50-64 years. defined as ≥2 modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale. machine learning algorithm Extreme gradient boosting...
<b>Introduction:</b> Breathlessness is a multidimensional symptom prevalent in the elderly population, comprising intensity, descriptors, level of unpleasantness, emotional, and physical impacts. However, to date, epidemiological studies breathlessness population have largely only been assessed through one-dimensional Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale, which describes when you get exertion limited by breathlessness. <b>Aims objectives:</b> The primary aim this study was describe...
<b>Introduction:</b> Sense of control is an important concept for coping and management symptoms were pharmacological treatments are lacking, but it still unknown if, how sense associated to breathlessness. <b>Aims objectives:</b> The aim this study was evaluate relates the presence breathlessness in middle-aged general population. <b>Methods:</b> This a cross-sectional population-based men women aged 50 64 years Swedish Breathlessness defined as modified medical research council scale ≥2....
Introduction: Quantifying inert gas wash-out is crucial to understanding the pathophysiology of decompression sickness. In this study, we developed a portable closed-circuit device for measuring and validated its precision accuracy both with without human subjects. Methods: We an exhalate monitor sensors volume, temperature, water vapor oxygen. Inert volume was extrapolated from these inputs using ideal law. The device’s ability detect differences while connected breathing machine analysed...
