Furthermore, although the number of local populations have also declined in these areas [ 44], a recent study suggests that well functioning meta-populations still exists at these three sites [ 20].
In summary, lower walking speed was strongly associated with cardiovascular mortality in a population of well functioning older people.
Accordingly, the concentration of coagulation factors will decrease and the population of well functioning platelets will be sequestered in the capillaries [ 26].
Our study population was relatively well functioning at baseline, so the results may not be generalizable to older adults with disabilities.
Our patients were relatively well functioning when compared to the general population of hip fracture patients due to our inclusion criteria (community dwelling and no serious cognitive impairment).
In a decade's time, I hope we can look back and see large increases in well-managed and well-resourced parks on land and sea, with increases in healthy wildlife populations and intact, well functioning ecosystems.
It is, therefore, interesting to note that, compared to this relatively well-functioning population, we still identify a better health in the OR study population.
The Swedish Fracture Register is already a well-functioning, population-based fracture register that covers fractures of all types, regardless of treatment, and collects both surgeon- and patient-reported outcome measures.
If a kitchen is well designed, it functions well.
The questionnaire used here was originally validated for a general elderly population, but functioned well in both the present study as well as in a previously described group of glaucoma patients, demonstrating good person and item measure [ 17, 18].
It may be reasonable to consider that if CGMs function well in our study population, they will likely function well in most other ICU populations, whether pediatric, adult, medical, or surgical.
