On the other hand, we identified two obstacles on the part of physicians: (i) lack of awareness of preventive measures for elderly patients; and (ii) lack of motivational counseling skills and experience.
In this repeated measures study of elderly men, we observed significant associations between seven day exposures to PM2.5 and both sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 levels.
We examined whether there were independent associations of the ambient traffic-associated pollutants, BC and CO, with ST-segment depression before and after submaximal exercise in a community-based repeated-measures study of elderly adults from Boston, Massachusetts.
To establish the role of the antioxidant response pathway in determining the cardiovascular effects of airborne particles, we examined in the present study the association of PM2.5 with HRV in a repeated measure study of elderly subjects from the Boston metropolitan area, and evaluated how that association was affected by genetic variation in the HMOX-1 and GSTM1 loci.
Table 4 presents the prevalence of each level of community engagement measured, for elderly men and women.
Continued increases in longevity will ensure that the old-age dependency ratio, which measures the number of elderly people as a share of those of working age, will rise sharply in most countries over the next 40 years, according to the European Commission.
We hypothesised that divided attention, memory and inhibition each explain comparable portions of dual-task costs of gait measures in elderly community dwellers.
Thus, healthcare providers should consider these conditions and should measure the temperatures of elderly residents with lower objective functional status more frequently.
Fever was significantly more likely to occur in the wheelchair users or bedridden and in individuals with moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment, which means healthcare providers should consider these conditions and should measure the temperatures of elderly residents with lower objective functional status more frequently.
This was a randomized 2 × 2 factorial-designed trial comparing the effect of 3 years of dietary counseling, n-3 PUFA supplementation (2.4 g/d), or both on different measures of atherosclerosis in elderly high-risk men (N = 563).
We hypothesised that divided attention, memory and inhibition would each explain comparable portions of gait measures in elderly community dwellers.
