Based on our literature search, in Sweden, there have been no KH/ demispan-based equations to estimate height and true BMI classification among the elderly.
Abraham et al. developed various physicochemical property-based equations to estimate log BB (log of the brain/blood ratio).
Thus, during non-steady state conditions, using creatinine-based equations to estimate GFR results in inaccurate assessment of kidney function [ 1, 22, 35].
However, the accuracy of creatinine-based equations to estimate GFR, including the new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, has been questioned for patients with diabetes (4, 5).
The development of simple creatinine-based equations to estimate kidney function has contributed to raise the epidemics of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to the category of major public health problem [ 1].
Most previous studies in the elderly [ 3] have used creatinine-based equations to estimate GFR (eGFR), but these equations may be particularly limited due to non-GFR determinants of serum creatinine such as presence of chronic illnesses, decreased muscle mass and diet [ 4].
The out-of-plane shear strengths from the tests in the experimental database are summarized and compared with shear strength calculations based on applicable design code equations to estimate the lower bound design shear strength of SC walls.
The strengths of this study are the evaluation of mGFR using a precise method in a sample of very elderly persons, and the comparison and validation of several recently proposed equations to estimate GFR based on creatinine and cystatin C. None of the previous studies have specifically assessed the comparison of these new equations in this age group.
However, Equation 4 is the best one among the three equations to estimate approximately the base shear ratios for both intact and cracked flat-plate R/C buildings.
However, Equation 4 is the best one among the three equations to estimate approximately the base shear ratios for both the intact and the cracked flat-plate R/C buildings.
It then uses a logistic risk function based on the Framingham equation to estimate the annual incidence rates of CHD events for each cohort.
