Obesity as a predictor of falls among older women

2012

In older people’s falls often lead to hospitalisation and lengthy recovery in health care institutions and this may be conducive to financial strain on health care systems. The propensity or risk of falling rises as the individual gets older and frailer. Fear of falling, previous history of falling, poor mobility, limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL), side effects of medications, hazardous environment, poor vision and hearing, poor postural balance and gaits impairment are among the frequent factors that give rise to falls amongst older people. However, studies focused on obesity as a risk factor for falls are rarer. The aim of this study was to find out whether obesity increases…

The role of heredity, other constitutional structural and behavioral factors in back function tests

2006

The objectives were 1) to determine the reliability of the measures of back function related factors, 2) to investigate the possibilities to detect changes in paraspinal muscles, and 3) to study the relative effects of heredity, constitutional and behavioral factors on three back function tests. Paraspinal muscle cross-sectional areas were obtained by magnetic resonance imaging from a sample of 210 men; anthropometric measures, isokinetic and psychophysical lifting capacity, and isometric back extension endurance tests were performed and current and past physical activity during leisure-time and at work were ascertained from a structured interview from a total sample of 600 men who were 35 …

Does Use of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) in Men with Prostate Cancer Increase the Risk of Sarcopenia?

2019

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer (PCa) can compromise muscle health. Hence, we aimed to quantify the prevalence of sarcopenia (i.e., compromised lean mass, muscle strength, and physical function) in ADT-treated (> 12 week) men (n = 70) compared to similarly aged non-ADT-treated PCa (n = 52) and healthy controls (n = 70). Lean and fat mass were quantified by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Muscle strength and function were measured using handgrip dynamometry and gait speed, respectively. Sarcopenia was defined as low adjusted appendicular lean mass [ALM; height-adjusted (ALMI), body mass index-adjusted (ALMBMI) and height and fat mass-adjusted (ALMHFM)] with weak hand…

Lihaksen laadun, kehon koostumuksen ja maksimivoiman muutokset voimaharjoittelussa

2017

Lihaksen laatu on alkanut saada kasvavaa huomiota, sillä sen on havaittu vaikuttavan terveyteen ja suorituskykyyn. Lihaksen laadulla tarkoitetaan lihaksen sisäisen rasvan ja sidekudoksen määrää. Heikon lihaksen laadun on todettu vaikuttavan heikentävästi suorituskykyyn, sekä olevan yhteydessä korkeampaan rasvaprosenttiin. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää rasvaprosentin ja lihaksen laadun yhteyttä, sekä voimaharjoittelun vaikutusta lihaksen laatuun, rasvaprosenttiin ja maksimivoimaan. Menetelmät. Tutkimus toteutettiin syksyllä 2016 ja koehenkilöinä oli vähintään kahden vuoden voimaharjoittelutaustan omaavia miehiä (n=14). Tutkimus tehtiin osana isompaa tutkimusta, jossa vertailt…

Vyötärölihavuus, kohonnut paastoglukoosi, tyyppi 2 diabetes ja metabolinen oireyhtymä entisillä huippu-urheilijoilla

2010

Tutkimus on osa laajempaa projektikokonaisuutta, jonka yleisenä tavoitteena on kartoittaa entisten huippu-urheilijoiden terveyttä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää metabolisen oireyhtymän (MBO), vyötärölihavuuden, kohonneen paastoglukoosin ja tyypin 2 diabeteksen esiintyvyyttä heillä. Tutkimusaineiston (N=599) muodostavat entiset mieshuippu-urheilijat, jotka ovat edustaneet Suomea vuosina 1920-1965 vähintään kerran kansainvälisesti. Verrokit (N=207) on valittu samoista armeijan palvelukseen astumiseristä (A1-luokka). Edustettuina ovat kestävyys- (N=41), voima- (N=107) ja joukkuelajit (N=244). Tutkittavat kutsuttiin kirjeitse TERVEYSTUTKIMUS 2008 terveystarkastukseen. Tutkimus to…

Brief interventions in counselling for nutrition and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in primary care adult patients

2018

This research i) examined the influence of a brief nutrition-based intervention among primary care patients in changing nutrition and clinical values related to metabolic syndrome (study 1), and ii) assessed nutrition and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its clinical determinants among primary care patients in different sociodemographic groups (study 2). In study 1, a systematic literature review was conducted on eight databases during Sept.-Oct. 2016 with a final update in Nov. 2017. In study 2, data (n=557 for RO II-III, n=251 for RO IV-V) collected in primary care practices in Central Finland in 2006-2008 for the EVI study were analysed using Chi-Square test, GLM and Logistic Reg…

Leisure-time physical activity habits and abdominal adiposity in young adulthood : twin cohort and co-twin control studies

2018

Twin study designs were utilized to investigate how and what types of leisure- time physical activity (LTPA) are associated with abdominal adiposity in young adulthood taking into consideration diet and other selected health factors. The data of two studies were used: the longitudinal FinnTwin16 cohort and the clinical FITFATWIN study. In FinnTwin16, questionnaire data together with self- measured waist circumference (WC) of 3 383 (1 578 men) cohort members at mean ages 24.5 y and 34 y were used to study LTPA level and waist gain. Cross- sectional data of 4 027 (1 874 men) cohort members at mean age 34 y was used to study LTPA modes and WC. In FITFATTWIN study, ten monozygotic (MZ) male twi…
