Participants were classified as having impaired mobility if they reported impairment for at least one of the three items of the Rosow and Breslau scale.
The study that found the lowest rates of impairment (12% of patients having impaired scores on more than 20% of the neuropsychological tests) used the most stringent criteria of z-scores ≤ 1.5 SD below normative means on at least four subtests (32).
Therefore, the primary aim of the present study is to conduct a randomised controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized home based exercise program in improving turning and common balance impairments among community dwelling Malaysians aged 50 years identified as having impaired turning ability.
Inouye et al. [ 20] have shown that having impaired vision, being over 80 years of age and pre-existing cognitive impairment are all factors linked to increased risk of under-recognition.
Patients: The sample included 12 adult patients with indwelling pulmonary artery and radial arterial catheters who were receiving mechanical ventilation and who met the criteria of "critical illness" by having impaired arterial oxygenation (PaO2 ≤ 70 mm Hg) and/or cardiac index ≤ 2.0 L/min/m2.0
Fasting plasma glucose levels were used to classify subjects as normal (<110 mg/dl; n = 1,779), as having impaired fasting glucose levels (110 to 125 mg/dl; n = 56), and as having diabetes mellitus (DM ≥126 mg/dl or receiving therapy; n = 84).
There are millions of children having impaired childhoods because their unemployed parent(s) cannot properly care for them.
Individuals with fasting plasma glucose levels ≥5.6 mmol/l were classified as having impaired fasting glucose (IFG).
The prevalence of diabetes among participants was 9.1% (10.0% in males and 7.6% in females) with 17.4% having impaired fasting glucose.
The long, stiff azhdarchid neck is interpreted by some authors as having impaired in-flight feeding [2], [6], [17], [32] but is taken to suggest in-flight feeding by others (e.g. [18], [25], [27], [30]).
Subjects were classified as normoglycemic or dysglycemic based upon the results of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) as illustrated in Figure 4. Subjects with 2-hour glucose levels <7.8 mmol/l were deemed normal glucose tolerant (NGT) while those with 2-hour glucose between 7.8 11.1 mmol/l were deemed as having impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
