The Effect of Exercise Program Interventions on Frailty, Clinical Outcomes, and Biomarkers in Older Adults: A Systematic Review.

Frailty is characterized by the decreased ability in older adults to handle daily or acute stressors due to age-related declines in physiological reserve and organ system performance. This condition results from the interaction of multiple physiological pathways and changes in biomarkers. Exercise programs are currently recommended to promote "healthy aging" in frail older adults.

Plasma Proteomics of Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Co-Existing Diabetes/Hypertension in Thai Adults.

The study explored proteomics to better understand the relationship between type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and hypertension (HT) in Thai adults, using shotgun proteomics and bioinformatics analysis. Plasma samples were taken from 61 subjects: 14 healthy subjects (mean age = 40.85 ± 7.

The Prevalence of Elder Abuse and its Association with Frailty in Elderly Patients at the Outpatient Department of a Super-Tertiary Care Hospital in Northern Thailand.

The global population is undergoing rapid aging, resulting in an increase in geriatric syndromes and hidden health issues such as elder abuse. However, the prevalence of elder abuse varies across different settings. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and factors associated with elder abuse at the outpatient department of a super-tertiary care hospital in northern Thailand.

Psychometric assessment of the 10-item, revised experience of close relationship (ECR-R-10) in nonclinical and clinical populations of adults and older adults in Thailand.

The experiences of close relationships-revised (ECR-R) is a widely used 36-item self-report measurement for measuring adult attachment. However, various short versions of the ECR-R have been developed and tested psychometrically. Given the cultural impact, a short version of the Thai ECR-R should be derived from the existing Thai version of the ECR-R.

Comparison of Frailty Assessment Tools for Older Thai Individuals at the Out-Patient Clinic of the Family Medicine Department.

This study evaluated the validity of the screening tools used to evaluate the frailty status of older Thai people. A cross-sectional study of 251 patients aged 60 years or more in an out-patient department was conducted using the Frailty Assessment Tool of the Thai Ministry of Public Health (FATMPH) and the Frail Non-Disabled (FiND) questionnaire, and the results were compared with Fried's Frailty Phenotype (FFP). The validity of the data acquired using each method was evaluated by examining their sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and Cohen's kappa coefficient.
