Acute heart failure in the elderly: differences in clinical characteristics, outcomes, and prognostic factors in the VERITAS Study.
PA physical activity, PASE Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly, d: difference between test and retest, ICC 2.1 intraclass correlation coefficient, two-way random effects ANOVA, SEM standard error of measurement, MDC minimal detectable change The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the PASE score and the Actigraph GT1M, and the PASE score and the IPAQ score is shown in Table 3.
Extranodal presentation was reported in just over half (50.9%, 54/106) of childhood ML cases and in 20.9% (9/43) of the elderly, which difference was statistically highly significant (P = 0.00635, Chi-square Test) [Table 2].
In addition, while a slightly poorer median PFS was registered for elderly, no difference at all in OS was noted for these patients as compared to middle-aged and younger ones.
In particular, participants are most likely to recall their height as measured in early adulthood and, as height loss is greatest in the elderly, the difference between their recalled and actual height will be greater.
The estimates of excess daily rate of GIH events in the elderly (the difference between the GAM-predicted daily rate during the outbreak and the pre-outbreak daily rate of 0.75 cases/100,000 persons) associated with four levels of turbidity at time lags from 0 to 18 days are shown in Table 3.
Fractures are most common in youth and in the elderly, with differences in incidence over time and between regions.
Also in middle-aged males and females, as well as in elderly men differences between races are smaller in Ohio compared with the whole country.
These peaks, coupled with rising 30-day readmissions (particularly in the very elderly) suggest differences in service provision over the year.
For the body mass index of the elderly, the differences were significantly greater for males and for those with poor self-evaluated psychological status.
A better understanding about the factors that influence outdoor recreational PA among the elderly and differences between men and women would make it possible to plan appropriate health interventions that would hopefully lead to an active and healthy elderly population.
