Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how low handgrip strength (HGS) relates to the risk of falls in middle-aged and older adults, analyzing data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging.
- It involved 8,112 participants aged 50 to 105, revealing that 21.5% experienced at least one fall and that HGS declines steadily with age.
- The findings indicate that low HGS significantly contributes to fall risk in individuals through their 50s and continues to be an important factor until the 80s, even when accounting for other health variables.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the link between low self-reported sleep quality (LSQ) and the occurrence of falls in middle-aged and older adults, using data from a nationally representative Brazilian study.
- It included 8,950 participants aged 50 and older, revealing that 21.5% had experienced at least one fall, and found a significant association between LSQ and falls in younger age groups (up to 84 years old).
- The results suggest that while LSQ is linked to a higher fall risk in adults over 50, this association does not hold for those aged 85 and older.
Forecasting and validating fat mass ratio models through anthropometric measurements and health-related factors among people with HIV: a cross-sectional investigation.
Ann Transl Med
June 2024
Article Synopsis
- This study focused on creating predictive models for fat mass ratio (FMR) in individuals living with HIV, using various body measurement techniques to assess body composition.
- A total of 106 Brazilian participants were evaluated, and six models were developed with varying effectiveness in predicting FMR based on different health-related and anthropometric factors.
- The most effective model combined several measurements and showed strong agreement with traditional methods, improving the understanding of body composition and potential lipodystrophy diagnosis in people with HIV.
People living with HIV (PWH) experience an accelerated aging process. There is no anthropometric predictive model for appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) in PWH. This study develops anthropometric models to predict and validate ASM measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in PWH; DXA scans were obtained for 125 PWH (male = 74; age >18 years) on antiretroviral therapy.

Methods: Scoping review using the Web of Science, Scopus, Medline (via PubMed), Embase, BDENF, CINAHL and Lilacs databases. In addition, the Preprints bioRxiv, Google Scholar and OpenGrey servers were checked.
Being Physically Active Leads to Better Recovery Prognosis for People Diagnosed with COVID-19: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Int J Environ Res Public Health
November 2022
The regular practice of physical activity helps in the prevention and control of several non-communicable diseases. However, evidence on the role of physical activity in mitigating worsening clinical outcomes in people with COVID-19 is still unclear. The aim of this study was to verify whether different levels of physical activity provide protection for clinical outcomes caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Int J Environ Res Public Health
September 2022
People living with HIV (PWH) experience an accelerated reduction in bone mineral content (BMC), and a high risk of osteopenia and osteoporosis. Anthropometry is an accurate and low-cost method that can be used to monitor changes in body composition in PWH. To date, no studies have used anthropometry to estimate BMC in PWH.

Method: cross-sectional study conducted in a public Home Care service. The World Health Organization instrument was used to observe the hand hygiene technique, the time of performance, and the product used.
Fractalkine, a unique chemokine of the CX3C subfamily, is involved in the pathogenesis of different types of cancer and also in non-immune mechanisms associated with psychiatric disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether there is a correlation between anxiety, depression and fractalkine serum levels in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in different stages of antitumor therapy. Four groups of patients undergoing treatment (n=20 per group) were evaluated: Patients with CRC who did not undergo surgical resection of the tumor; patients who underwent resection and who did not start adjuvant therapy; patients undergoing chemotherapy for ~3 months; and patients who had completed adjuvant chemotherapy regimen for ~6 months.
