Long COVID, a condition characterized by symptom and/or sign persistence following an acute COVID-19 episode, is associated with reduced physical performance and endothelial dysfunction. Supplementation of l-arginine may improve muscle function stimulating nitric oxide synthesis. A single-blind randomized, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in adults aged between 20 60 years persistent fatigue attending post-acute outpatient clinic. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive twice-daily...
A fall is an event where a person unintentionally and traumatically finds themselves on the floor or lower level. Falls are very common, especially in older adult population. One four people falls at least once year after age 65. Because of falls, there can be injuries, whereby impairment health status. Fractures, reduced mobility, disability, need for institutionalization potential consequences falls. In patients, frail ones, these types complications more common. There several risk factors...
Nutritional status is a critical factor throughout COVID-19 disease course. Malnutrition associated with poor outcomes in hospitalized patients.
In a recent clinical trial, beetroot juice supplementation for 14 days yielded positive effects on systemic inflammation in adults with long COVID. Here, we explored the relationship between circulating markers of mitochondrial quality and COVID as well impact administration those markers. We conducted secondary analyses placebo-controlled randomized trial testing remedy against Analyses were 25 participants, 10 assigned to placebo (mean age: 40.2 ± 11.5 years, 60% women) 15 allocated 38.3...
Post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 include several neuropsychiatric disorders. Little is known about the relationship between post-COVID-19 syndrome and suicidality. The aim study was to investigate risk suicide in subjects with persistent syndrome. One-thousand five-hundred eighty-eight were assessed Post-Acute Care Service at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario "Agostino Gemelli" IRCCS Rome. Assessment included: (a) sociodemographic characteristics; (b) symptoms during after COVID-19; (c)...
Altered l-arginine metabolism has been described in patients with COVID-19 and associated immune vascular dysfunction. In the present investigation, we determined serum concentrations of l-arginine, citrulline, ornithine, monomethyl-l-arginine (MMA), symmetric asymmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA, ADMA) adults long COVID at baseline after 28-days plus vitamin C or placebo supplementation enrolled a randomized clinical trial, compared group without previous history SARS-CoV-2-infection....
Physical performance is crucial for healthy aging. Body composition has gained particular attention. Anthropometric measurements, specifically the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height (WHtR), have emerged as valuable indicators. This study aims to investigate correlation between abnormal WHR ratios with physical performance. Data from Longevity Check-up 8+ project were analyzed. measurements used calculate WHtR. was evaluated through chair stand test. ANCOVA assessed impact of WHtR...
Background-Patients affected by Long COVID often report shorter times spent doing physical activity (PA) after COVID-19. The aim of the present study was to evaluate potential associations between PA levels and parameters function in a cohort COVID-19 survivors with post-acute symptoms, particular focus on individuals aged 65 older. Materials methods-PA before were assessed sample patients that had recovered from admitted outpatient service at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino...
Abstract Background Wide consensus exists on the notion that low muscle mass is a predictor of negative health‐related events, such as disability, morbidity, and mortality. Indeed, European Working Group Sarcopenia in Older People 2 had identified key component to confirm diagnosis sarcopenia. However, lack normative values for across ages hampers practical assessment this important parameter. The aim present study was produce cross‐sectional centile calf circumference (a surrogate...
Background-Analgesics could be used to manage painful symptoms during and after COVID-19. Materials methods-Persistence of was assessed COVID-19 in a sample patients admitted post-acute outpatient service Rome, Italy. Data on type frequency use first-line analgesics were collected. Pain severity evaluated with numeric rating scale (NRS) from 0 10. Results-Mean age 696 participants 57.1 ± 20.3 years 61.7% women. During COVID-19, the most prevalent fever, fatigue, arthralgia, myalgia headache....
Abstract Background Neurological manifestations of Sars-CoV-2 infection have been described since March 2020 and include both central peripheral nervous system manifestations. symptoms, such as headache or persistent loss smell taste, also documented in COVID-19 long-haulers. Moreover, long lasting fatigue, mild cognitive impairment sleep disorders appear to be frequent term neurological after hospitalization due COVID-19. Less is known relation nerve injury related infection. Case...
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess effect a specific oral nutritional supplement among patients recovered from COVID-19 but suffering symptoms fatigue. Methods: This is an observational case–control involving sample 66 survivors divided in two groups, 33 subjects intervention group who received and control group. by active based on amino acids; vitamin B6 B1; malic, succinic citric acids. After 8-week follow-up, main outcomes considered were skeletal muscle index...
Interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor inhibitors tocilizumab and sarilumab have recently been approved for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They also affect mood, even though their effect on the post-COVID-19 syndrome-related psychopathology still has to be investigated. The aim of this study was investigate in a sample patients with syndrome. We included 246 (34% female, 66% male) aged 18–75 years who had hospitalized COVID. Patients were split into those received anti-IL-6 agents...
Diabetes is a prevalent metabolic condition with substantial health and economic impacts. Therefore, effective accessible indicators are essential for early detection prevention. This study investigates the link between waist-to-calf circumference ratio (WCR) diabetes risk in large cohort from Longevity Check-Up (Lookup) 8+ Study. The present investigation retrospective cross-sectional study. was defined either as self-reported diagnosis, or fasting plasma glucose equal to greater than 126...
Poor sleep quality may contribute to sarcopenia, but evidence remains sparse. This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated the association between subjective and probable sarcopenia in a cohort of community-dwelling older adults enrolled Longevity Check-Up 8+ study.
