Comparison of Two Methods of Direct and Indirect Education on Osteoporosis Preventive Behaviors among Female Students
Background Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease that decreases bone mass, causes destruction and eventually friability. This disease is preventable, and because adolescent females are the high-risk population, teaching this age group is of the utmost importance. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of the two educational methods (Lecture and Pamphlet) on osteoporos...
متن کاملA new oscillometric method for assessment of arterial stiffness: comparison with tonometric and piezo-electronic methods.
INTRODUCTION Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) are parameters of arterial stiffness and wave reflection. PWV and AIx are strong indicators for cardiovascular risk and are used increasingly in clinical practice. Previous systems for assessment of PWV and AIx are investigator dependent and time consuming. The aim of this study was to validate the new oscillometric method (Art...
متن کاملArterial stiffness: clinical relevance, measurement and treatment.
Most traditional cardiovascular risk factors alter the structure and/or function of arteries. An assessment of arterial wall integrity could therefore allow accurate prediction of cardiovascular risk in individuals. The term 'arterial stiffness' denotes alterations in the mechanical properties of arteries, and much effort has focused on how best to measure this. Pulse pressure, pulse wave veloc...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Pre-Transplant Arterial Stiffness and the Impact of Kidney Transplantation on Arterial Stiffness
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. However, the clinical significance of pre-transplant arterial stiffness and the impact of kidney transplantation (KT) on arterial stiffness have not yet been determined. METHOD We measured the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) before KT and one year after ...
متن کاملIs arterial stiffness ready for daily clinical practice?
Arterial stiffness is associated with major cardiovascular risk factors such as age [1], hypertension [2], smoking [3], hypercholesterolemia [4,5], diabetes types I [6] and II [7], insulin resistance [8] and hyperhomocysteinemia [9]. The majority of these data come from observational cross-sectional studies. Although these type of studies can only show an association between arterial stiffness ...
