Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and orthostatic intolerance symptoms are common in older community-dwelling adults and are associated with reduced quality of life and detrimental health outcomes. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, co-occurrence and determinants of OH and orthostatic intolerance sym...
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) has high prevalence in frail older adults. However, its effect on mortality, disability, and hospitalization in frail older adults is poorly investigated. Thus, we assessed the relationship between the prevalence of OH and its effect on mortality, disability, and hospitalizatio...
To assess the prevalence of orthostatic hypotension (OH) and the association of OH with the risk of falls among community-dwelling older adults with a previous fall.
The aging process, the postmenopausal state, low calcium intake, lack of physical activity, and other risk factors predispose the elderly to low bone mass. Most elderly nursing facility patients have age-related changes in bones, resulting in a lower than normal bone mass. This tool will guide the physicia...
Our primary objective was to describe the prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) diagnosis in nursing home residents (NHRs). Secondary objectives included assessment of pharmacologic therapies and risk of fracture in NHRs with OP, as well as differentiating clinical characteristics of treated versus untreated mal...
The objective of this study was to describe the prevalence of osteosarcopenia and its association with falls, fractures, and mortality in community-dwelling older adults.
The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) and to investigate its association with frailty and physical performance in Mexican community-dwelling middle-aged and older women.
