Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how nutritional status and comorbidity affect recovery after hip surgery in older adults, focusing on functionality, fall risk, and pain levels one month post-surgery.
- Thirty-six patients aged 65 and older were assessed using various indexes pre-surgery and one month after discharge, with results indicating significant improvements in functional independence, fall risk, and pain intensity.
- Findings suggest that patients with fewer comorbidities experienced better functional recovery, while those with better nutritional status had greater pain reduction after surgery.
The sit-to-stand test provides insight into age-related functional capacity; however, there are various variants of sit-to-stand, and we do not know which of these better discriminates against age-related functional capacity. Our study aimed to compare the age-related functional capacity in older people by evaluating sit-to-stand power variants, using young individuals as a reference. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 102 adults (57 women) aged 60-80 and 105 adults (54 women) aged 20-30.

Interventions for its treatment focus on sustained weight reduction and general health improvement, leaving respiratory management aside. Our objective was to determine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in patients with obesity.

Pulmonary rehabilitation improves exercise capacity, symptoms, and quality of life in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Our objective was to systematically determine the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with sarcoidosis.

Methods: Embase, PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Register of Clinical Trials (CENTRAL) were searched to 15 January 2023. Studies that applied physical exercise programs in older adults were reviewed.
