Objective: Investigate the impact of urinary incontinence (UI) on quality of life (QoL) in female CrossFit practitioners and to verify the strategies used by them to minimize the occurrence of urine leakage. In addition, to verify whether anthropometric and clinical characteristics increase the UI impact on QoL of female CrossFit practitioners.
Study Design: This was an online cross-sectional survey.
Article Synopsis
- Mobility limitations often signal impaired physical function in older adults, with neuromuscular strength being the key predictor.
- A study of 5,783 older participants found that handgrip strength cutoffs (<32 kg for men and <21 kg for women) effectively identify mobility limitations, showing good diagnostic accuracy.
- The findings endorse handgrip strength as a practical clinical marker for mobility issues, suggesting it can be easily integrated into healthcare settings due to its reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Objective: The association between cognitive impairment and physical frailty has been studied in older adults. The criteria degree of frailty may be keys to associated cognitive impairment. To analyze the association between cognitive impairment and the criteria for frailty.
