Effects of chronic airway disease on health status of geriatric patients.

2004

Background and aims: The impact of chronic airway disease on the health status of elderly patients is only to some extent explained by indexes of airflow limitation. The present study was designed to assess to what extent: 1) asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic bronchitis with normal FEV1 (simple bronchitis) differ in their impact on health status; 2) health status depends upon non-respiratory factors. Methods: A total of 1601 outpatients over 65 - 198 with asthma, 228 with COPD, 91 with simple bronchitis, and 1084 with non-respiratory illnesses (control group) -were studied by collection of five health status indexes and multidimensional assessment.

Anthropometric Variables as Mediators of the Association of Changes in Diet and Physical Activity With Inflammatory Profile

2020

AbstractBackgroundMechanisms underlying the associations of high levels of physical activity (PA) and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) with a better inflammatory profile remain unclear. Our objective was to assess the mediating role of changes in body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC), as markers of body fat in the association of changes in PA and adherence to the MedDiet, with changes in the inflammatory profile.MethodThis study included 489 adults, aged 55–75 years, from the PREDIMED-Plus multicenter lifestyle intervention trial. An inflammatory score was calculated, based on 8 blood biomarkers: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, interleukin 8, in…

Relationship between anthropometric parameters, physiological responses, routes and competition results in formula windsurfing

2012

Formula windsurfing is faster than the Olympic version, due to anumber of unique differences. This study was designed to identify the importance of anthropometric and cardiac factors on the final result of the European Formula Windsurf Championships (2007). We selected 45 competitors (30 amateurs and 15 professionals) of 30±9.77 years of age, a height of 182.6±0.06 cm, a weight of 81.67±7.35 kg and a BMIof 24.7±2.1 kg. They were divided into three groups (PG: 15; TG: 45and GPSG: 12). We followed the recommendations of Carter and Marfell-Jones for the anthropometric measurements. The route, speed, distance and heart rate were recorded using an FRWD W600 GPS (Global Positioning System) unit. …

Prevalencia de malnutrición entre ancianos institucionalizados en la Comunidad Valenciana

2001

Fundamento Conocer la prevalencia de malnutricion en poblacion anciana institucionalizada estratificada por percentiles de edad y sexo. Pacientes y metodo Se estudiaron un total de 615 ancianos institucionalizados, con una edad media (DE) de 79,33 (9,07) anos. Los parametros antropometricos medidos fueron peso, talla, distancia rodilla-talon, pliegues tricipital y subescapular, y perimetro del brazo y de la cintura. Se calcularon el perimetro y el area muscular del brazo y la masa grasa. Los parametros bioquimicos determinados fueron colesterol, trigliceridos, albumina, prealbumina, transferrina, proteina fijadora de retinol, C3 y recuento de linfocitos. Se diagnostico malnutricion cuando a…

Skinfold Sum: Reference Values for Top Athletes

2012

Las determinaciones de los pliegues subcutaneos de diferentes zonas corporales son utilizadas ocasionalmente en ecuaciones predictivas para calcular la masa grasa. Este es un parametro critico que condiciona el optimo rendimiento deportivo. No existen valores de referencia de pliegues subcutaneos en atletas de elite. Por tanto, el principal objetivo de este estudio es presentar valores de referencia de pliegues subcutaneos de una amplia poblacion de atletas. Los pliegues tricipital, subescapular, suprailiaco, abdominal, muslo y pierna fueron medidos de acuerdo a la normativa ISAK (Sociedad Internacional para el Avance de la Cineantropometria) en 2500 atletas. La suma de los seis pliegues as…

¿Podemos mejorar la predicción del peso al nacer?: el efecto del IMC pregestacional normal usando un modelo multivariante

2015

Objective: The construction of a predictive model that improves the estimation of the fetal weight (EFW). Study Design: a comparative, descriptive study. One hundred forty pregnant women were recruited at two-stage sample in health department in Spain. They were classified in four groups depending on the pre-gestational BMI. Fetal weight at term was estimated by ultrasound at 33-35 weeks (EFW40w) by one gynecologist. A regression model was created with the variables that reacted to the newborn's weight, symphysis-fundal height (SFH), EFW40w, gestational age (GA), ferritin level and cigarettes smoked. Results: A multivariate model was created for the NW group to estimate the fetal weight (EF…

Relationship between maternal body mass index, gestational weight gain and birth weight: prospective study in a health department

2015

Objetivo: Contrastar la relación que existe entre la ganancia de peso gestacional y el peso del recién nacido, entre cada categoría de IMC pregestacional. Material y Métodos: Estudio observacional y descriptivo con muestreo bietápico en el Departamento de Salud de la Ribera (Valencia, España). Se clasificaron en cuatro grupos dependiendo del índice de masa corporal (IMC) pregestacional. Resultados: Se estudiaron 140 gestantes. La evolución de la ganancia de peso gestacional (GPG) y de sus gradientes trimestrales fue ascendente. Se produjo un mayor incremento del primer al segundo trimestre que del segundo al tercero para todas las categorías de IMC pregestacional. Según las recomendaciones …
