The world's population is living much longer than in the past. It is crucial to find as many pathological factors that deteriorate the health condition and well-being of elderly people as possible. Loss of activity and functions over time is typical for elderly people. Aging affects brain function, metabolism and structure in different ways, and these effects have multiple etiologies. Cognitive...
This study aimed to determine whether physical activity similar to daily living results in signs and sensations of fatigue in healthy old, balance-impaired old, and healthy young adults. Sensations of general tiredness, leg tiredness, knee-extension and hip-abduction strength, and temporospatial gait variables were measured before, immediately after, and up to 20 min after moderate-intensity ph...
Immobility is an important health concern for the elderly patients and healthcare providers who care for the elderly. The purpose of this study was to test a knowledge discovery method to detect elderly patients with impaired mobility in a large clinical dataset. The research method applied an exploratory design and a data mining classification method (cost sensitive Decision Tree J48 from WEKA...
The metabolic response to eccentric exercise in healthy older adults is unknown. Therefore, substrate metabolism was examined in the basal state and after sustained hyperglycemia (180 min, 10 mM) in eight healthy, sedentary older [66 +/- 2 yr; body mass index (BMI) of 25.5 +/- 1.2 kg/m] and nine younger (23 +/- 1 yr; BMI of 23.6 +/- 1.7 kg/m) men, under control conditions and 48 h after eccentr...
Sarcopenia is a multifactorial syndrome with an insufficiently studied pathogenesis, manifested by generalized loss of muscle mass and skeletal strength. Despite the fact that sarcopenia risk factor for mortality disability, especially in elderly, this pathology rarely diagnosed. The lack uniform criteria diagnosis comorbidity elderly patients create difficulties differential condition. most of...
BACKGROUND Impaired swallowing is common in elderly patients as well as those with neurological disorders and degenerative diseases. Convenient and accurate assessments should be available to community-dwelling older adults to diagnose and provide early management and care of swallowing difficulties, an important factor of influence on elderly life quality. PURPOSE This study used convenient ...
A variety of technical features are available in hearing aids in order to reduce the negative effects of background noise. In this investigation, 16 elderly sensorineurally hearing-impaired hearing aid candidates provided word recognition responses while listening through simple linear amplification and through a hearing aid featuring one of the following: (1) high-frequency emphasis amplificat...
A longitudinal study of the age-related decline in thermoregulatory capacity was made in 47 elderly people to try to identify those at risk from spontaneous hypothermia. During the winters of 1971-2 and 1975-6 environmental and body temperature profiles were obtained in the home, and thermoregulatory function was investigated by cooling and warming tests. Environmental temperature and socioecon...
BACKGROUND The down-regulation of the cough reflex in patients with aspiration pneumonia can involve both cortical facilitatory pathways for cough and medullary reflex pathways. In order to study the possible involvement of the supramedullary system in the down-regulation of cough reflex, we evaluated the urge-to-cough in patients with aspiration pneumonia. METHODS Cough reflex sensitivity an...
