Prevalence of Peripheral Arterial Disease in Diabetic Patients
Objective: Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a state characterized by atherosclerotic occlusive disease of lower extremities. Diabetes is the main risk factor for PAD. Material and Methods: To assess the prevalence of PAD, a cross sectional study was performed on 352 diabetic patients who referred to Yazd diabetes research center from 2007 to 2010. Vascular assessment was done by measuring ...
متن کاملPhysical activity during daily life and mortality in patients with peripheral arterial disease.
BACKGROUND We determined whether patients with lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) who are more physically active during daily life have lower mortality rates than PAD patients who are less active. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants were 460 men and women with PAD (mean age 71.9+/-8.4 years) followed up for 57 months (interquartile range 36.6 to 61.9 months). At baseline, particip...
متن کاملPhysical Activity Monitoring in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Reduced physical activity (PA) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality (e.g. exacerbations) and eventually leads to disability, depression, and social and physical isolation. Measuring PA in this population is important to accurately characterize COPD and to help clinicians during a baseline evaluation and patient follow...
متن کاملValidation of the SOPLAY direct observation tool with an accelerometry-based physical activity monitor.
BACKGROUND The System for Observing Play and Leisure Activities (SOPLAY) is a direct observation instrument designed to assess group physical activity and environmental contexts. The purpose of this study was to test the convergent validity of the SOPLAY using temporally matched data from an accelerometry-based activity monitor. METHODS Accelerometry-based physical activity data were obtained...
متن کاملRelationship between balance and physical activity measured by an activity monitor in elderly COPD patients
BACKGROUND Little is known regarding the relationship between balance impairments and physical activity in COPD. There has been no study investigating the relationship between balance and objectively measured physical activity. Here we investigated the association between balance and physical activity measured by an activity monitor in elderly COPD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two o...
