[Cognitive function groups in older people and risk factors].

Background: Risk stratification for cognitive impairment in communities originated from autopsies in cognitively healthy individuals. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) incorporates subjective and objective cognitive function (CF) measures to explore neurocognitive disorders (NCD). It can be applied in communities to explore the factors that may influence positively or negatively.

Association of polymorphisms rs2303729, rs10880, and rs1131620 of with sarcopenia in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Latent TGFβ binding protein 4 () modifies skeletal muscle function, and polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with a longer ambulation time in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, no studies associate these polymorphisms with an acquired muscle condition.

Aim: The study aims to determine whether three functional variants within the were associated with sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

[Integrated Care Protocol: Hypertension].

Background: Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular risk factor that is responsible for complications such as cerebrovascular events, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, kidney failure, arrhythmias and blindness. About 30% of the adult population older than 20 years is a carrier. 40% of carriers are unaware of suffering from it since its onset is generally asymptomatic.
