Hand Function Related to Age and Sex

Hand function related to age and sex.

After adapting Jebssen's Test of Hand Function to Australian conditions, this study investigated his claim of no significant difference in hand performance among participants younger than 60 years, and determined whether age might be a factor when associated with sex. The method was to test 383 subjects of both sexes in 6 age groups. A 2-factor analysis with age and sex as factors yielded signi...

Severity of TMD related to age, sex and electromyographic analysis.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are manifested as a group of signs and symptoms that affect a particular population profile. Some variables such as sex and age influence the clinical expression of this condition. This observational descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to correlate the severity of TMD established by the craniomandibular index (CMI) with the variables: age, sex and electromy...

Maximum cardiac output related to sex and age.

Maximum cardiac output (Qmax) was determined for 233 males (aged 9 through 53 years) and 102 females (aged 9 through 20 years) by the carbon dioxide rebreathing technique during bicycle exercise. Maximum cardiac output of the males progressively increased from 12.5 to 22.0 liter/min until age 17 through 18 years and was maintained at this level until age 24 years. From age 25 years a decrease i...

Light sensitivity as related to age and sex.

Salt preference: age and sex related variability.

Salt preference was assessed in 60 adults of 18-21 yrs of age (30 males and 30 females) and in 60 children of 7-12 yrs of age (30 boys and 30 girls). Subjects rated the preference on Likert scale for popcorns of five salt concentrations (OM, 1M, 2M, 3M and +3M). Statistical analysis using Two way ANOVA revealed statistically significant effect of age and sex on salt preference (F4,100 = 15.027,...
