Article Synopsis
- Thailand is shifting from an aging society to an aged society, increasing the prevalence of age-related disorders, particularly among older adults.
- A nationwide study involving 2,991 Thai adults aged 60 and older found high prevalence rates of osteoporosis (29.7%), sarcopenia (18.1%), and high falls risk (38.5%).
- The findings highlight the urgent need for adjustments in Thailand's national health care policy to better manage these risks, as they significantly contribute to fragility fractures among older adults.
Objective: To determine normative values and identify contributing factors for physical performance tests in older, Thai, community-dwelling adults.
Design: Nationwide cross-sectional study.
Setting: Thai older community-dwelling adults.
Objective: This meta-analysis study compares the treatment outcomes between single bundle (SB) and double bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLR) including manual laxity tests, KT-1000 measurements and functional knee scores including International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm scores.
Data Sources: Medline, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (January 1985 to March 2008).
Material And Method: All randomized controlled trials reporting one or more outcomes related to single bundle versus double bundle ACLR were recruited in the present study.
