Corrigendum: Effectiveness of interventions to prevent pre-frailty and frailty progression in older adults: a systematic review.
2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To summarize the best available evidence regarding the effectiveness of interventions for preventing frailty progression in older adults. Introduction: Frailty is an age-related state of decreased physiological reserves characterized by an increased risk of poor clinical outcomes. Evidence supporting the malleability of frailty, its prevention and treatment, has been presented. Inclusion criteria: The review considered studies on older adults aged 65 and over, explicitly identified as pre-frail or frail, who had been undergoing interventions focusing on the prevention of frailty progression. Participants selected on the basis of specific illness or with a terminal diagno…
Association between Intake of Energy and Macronutrients and Memory Impairment Severity in US Older Adults, National Health and Nutrition Examination …
2020
Without a cure, dementia affects about 50 million people worldwide. Understanding the effects of dietary habits, a key lifestyle behavior, on memory impairment is critical to inform early behavioral modification to delay further memory loss and progression to dementia. We examined the associations of total energy intake and energy intake from macronutrients with memory impairment among older US adults using data from the nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey study 2011&ndash
Advanced 3D movement analysis algorithms for robust functional capacity assessment.
2017
SummaryObjectives: We developed a novel system for in home functional capacities assessment in frail older adults by analyzing the Timed Up and Go movements. This system aims to follow the older people evolution, potentially allowing a forward detection of motor decompensation in order to trigger the implementation of rehabilitation. However, the pre-experimentations conducted on the ground, in different environments, revealed some problems which were related to KinectTM operation. Hence, the aim of this actual study is to develop methods to resolve these problems.Methods: Using the KinectTM sensor, we analyze the Timed Up and Go test movements by measuring nine spatio-temporal parameters, …

The nutritional issue in older people with home-delivered meals: a scoping review protocol
2020
Setting up a home-delivered meal service often allows older people suffering from physical and/or cognitive disabilities to stay at home. However, older people who delegate their food activities (food purchasing, cooking…) have been reported to have a worse nutritional status than people who take care themselves of their food activities. In this context, we will conduct a scoping review of all studies related to the nutritional issue in home-delivered meal older recipients. This review was expected i. to shed light on the nutritional status of older people who benefit from home-delivery service to better understand their needs, and ii. to evaluate if home-delivered meal service can be a rel…
Comparaison des caractéristiques des organismes de transport en commun du Québec selon la ruralité : vers l'identification de nouvelles opportunités …
2020
Cette étude vise à décrire et à comparer, selon la ruralité, les caractéristiques du transport en commun régulier et adapté de municipalités québécoises. Une enquête transversale a été menée à l’aide d’un questionnaire en ligne auprès d’organismes de transport, de deux rapports d’activités et de données ouvertes. Réparti de façon représentative dans 573 (50,4 %) municipalités et arrondissements du Québec, un échantillon de 72 (43,9 %) organismes de transport a été considéré. Des inégalités ont été surtout identifiées pour le transport régulier. Les milieux métropolitains se distinguaient par des tarifs réduits, des distances inférieures entre les arrêts et un achalandage et une distance par…

Clinical Changes of Respiratory Parameters in Institutionalized Older Adults after a Physiotherapy Program Combining Respiratory and Musculoskeletal …
2022
Nowadays pulmonary diseases are an increasingly important cause of morbidity and mortality. Diaphragmatic breathing is a controlled-breathing technique that aims to optimize thoracoabdominal movements. The aim of this study was to apply a respiratory and musculoskeletal physiotherapy program in institutionalized older adults and to assess the effects on their pulmonary function tests and oxygen saturation. A randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted with thirty institutionalized older adults, randomly assigned to a control group (CG), who conducted musculoskeletal exercises; or an experimental group (EG) who, in addition, carried out diaphragmatic breathing, administered for eigh…
