Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with low muscle strength and functional limitations in older persons.
OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to examine homocysteine in relation to different aspects of physical functioning. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Cross-sectional and longitudinal data (3-years follow-up) from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) were used. The study was performed in persons aged ≥ 65 years (N= 1301 after imputation). MEASUREMENTS Different measures of physical f...
متن کاملMuscle strength in patients with chronic pain.
OBJECTIVE To analyse the influence of chronic pain on muscle strength. DESIGN Muscle strength of patients with unilateral nonspecific chronic pain, in an upper or lower limb, were measured according to a standardized protocol using a hand-held dynamometer. Before and after muscle strength measurement, a visual analogue scale for pain intensity was assessed. RESULTS Forty patients were measu...
متن کاملLow serum acylated ghrelin levels are associated with the development of cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Ghrelin has a protective effect on endothelial cells. Endothelial cell dysfunction is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD remains the leading cause of morbidity in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Acylated ghrelin (A-Ghr) is the functional form of ghrelin, so we hypothesized that A-Ghr is associated with the occurrence of CVD in HD patients. METHODS We conducted a prosp...
متن کاملLongitudinal study of leptin levels in chronic hemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND The influence of serum leptin levels on nutritional status and survival in chronic hemodialysis patients remained to be elucidated. We conducted a prospective longitudinal study of leptin levels and nutritional parameters to determine whether changes of serum leptin levels modify nutritional status and survival in a cohort of prevalent hemodialysis patients. METHODS Leptin, dietary...
متن کاملEffects of electroacupuncture on pain, functional disability and ultrasonographic changes of gluteus maximus muscle in non-specific chronic low back pain patients with gluteus maximus muscle trigger points
Introduction: Chronic low back pain is one of the major musculoskeletal problems. The presence of trigger points in the gluteus maximus muscle is a factor in increasing back pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of electro acupuncture on pain, functional disability and ultrasonographic changes of gluteus maximus muscle in patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain with tri...
