Mashup Score: 0Centrally Acting ACE Inhibitor Use and Physical Performance in Older Adults - The Journal of Frailty & Aging - 11 month(s) ago
Background There is conflicting evidence regarding the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and physical function. While some studies show improvements in muscle strength and physical function, others show no significant difference or decreased performance. This ambiguity could be due to differential effects of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor subtypes which can be categorized…

Mashup Score: 1Optimizing the Aging Brain: The BEAD Study on the Ethics of Dementia Prevention - The Journal of Frailty & Aging - 11 month(s) ago
Dementia has lately undergone a profound reconceptualization. Long conceived of as an unpreventable process of mental deterioration, current evidence shows that it can be prevented in at least one in three cases intervening on a specified set of factors. Issues of justice and equity loom large on the implementation of dementia prevention, from a global health perspective. Our project thus…

Background The Physical Resilience Instrument for Older Adults (PRIFOR) is a questionnaire for assessing physical resilience in older adults suffering from acute health stressors. Prior psychometric evidence of the PRIFOR showed that it has good criterion-related validity, known-group validity, predictive validity, and internal consistency. However, it is unclear whether the PRIFOR can be…

Mashup Score: 0Frailty in Chile: Development of a Frailty Index Score Using the Chilean National Health Survey 2016–2017 - The Journal of Frailty & Aging - 11 month(s) ago
Background The Frailty Index (FI) is used to quantify and summarize vulnerability status in people. In Chile, no development and assessment of a FI have been explored. Objective To develop and evaluate a FI using representative data from Chilean adults aged 40 years and older stratified by sex. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting National representative data from the Chilean National Health…

Delirium is a transient neurocognitive disorder. Nonpharmacological measures can be efficient in reducing the incidence and intensity of delirium, but there is a paucity of evidence when using a physical exercise program exclusively. This was a secondary analysis of a randomised clinical trial that provided evidence on the functional and cognitive benefits of an individualised exercise…

Mashup Score: 0Food Assistance Programs and Reduced Hospitalizations for Older Adults with Diabetes - The Journal of Frailty & Aging - 11 month(s) ago
Diabetes is an increasingly common and costly condition for older adults. Each year, as many as 1 in 3 Medicare dollars is spent to treat and manage diabetes and associated comorbidities for people with diabetes. To control health care spending in the US, it is imperative that we identify factors for reducing hospitalizations for these individuals. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to…

Background The benefits of supplemental vitamin D3, marine omega-3 fatty acids, and a simple home exercise program (SHEP) on frailty prevention in generally healthy community-dwelling older adults are unclear. Objective To test the effect of vitamin D3, omega-3s, and a SHEP, alone or in combination on incident pre-frailty and frailty in robust older adults over a follow-up of 36 months. Methods…

Mashup Score: 0Low Intake of Choline Is Associated with Diminished Strength and Lean Mass Gains in Older Adults - The Journal of Frailty & Aging - 11 month(s) ago
Objectives Choline is an essential micronutrient for many physiological processes related to exercise training including biosynthesis of acetylcholine. Though dietary choline intake has been studied in relation to endurance training and performance, none have studied it during resistance exercise training (RET) in older adults. The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between…
