Physical Activity in Non-Frail and Frail Older Adults
INTRODUCTION Physical activity (PA) is important for healthy ageing. Better insight into objectively measured PA levels in older adults is needed, since most previous studies employed self-report measures for PA assessment, which are associated with overestimation of PA. AIM This study aimed to provide insight in objectively measured indoor and outdoor PA of older adults, and in PA difference...
متن کاملAnalgesic Use and Pain in Robust, Pre-Frail and Frail Older Outpatients with Cancer
BACKGROUND Pain management can be challenging in frail older people with cancer due to drug-drug interactions and heightened susceptibility to adverse drug events. OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between analgesic use and pain by frailty status in older outpatients with cancer. METHODS A total of 385 consecutive patients aged 70 years and over who presented to an outpatient oncolo...
متن کاملExpanding access to pain care for frail, older people in primary care: a cross-sectional study.
BACKGROUND Although untreated pain has a negative impact on quality of life and health outcomes, research has shown that older people do not always have access to adequate pain care. Practice nurse-led, comprehensive geriatric assessments (CGAs) may increase access to tailored pain care for frail, older people who live at home. To explore this, we investigated whether new pain cases were identi...
متن کاملProteomics Analysis to Identify and Characterize the Biomarkers and Physical Activities of Non-Frail and Frail Older Adults
Globally, the proportion of older adults is increasing. Older people face chronic conditions such as sarcopenia and functional decline, which are often associated with disability and frailty. Proteomics assay of potential serum biomarkers of frailty in older adults. Older adults were divided into non-frail and frail groups (n = 6 each; 3 males in each group) in accordance with the Chinese-Canad...
متن کاملImmunologic Changes in Frail Older Adults
UNLABELLED Several studies have shown a heightened inflammatory state in frail older adults, marked by high serum levels of interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein and an increased number of circulating leukocytes. Activation of monocytes and macrophages, marked by increased levels of neopterin, may contribute to chronic inflammation in the frail older adult. However, the reduced mononuclear cell ...
