Objective: The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between osteoarthritis (OA) and joint symptoms typical of OA and labor force participation.
Methods: Data are from the baseline questionnaire of the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging for respondents aged 45 to 74 years at baseline (n = 24,427). Individuals were categorized into one of five mutually exclusive arthritis status groups: diagnosed OA, diagnosed other type of arthritis, two to three symptomatic joint sites and no diagnosed arthritis, one symptomatic joint site and no diagnosed arthritis, and no arthritis and no joint symptoms.
Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate a profile of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors by sex among individuals with and without osteoarthritis (OA) and to consider single-site and multisite joint OA.
Methods: Data were sourced from Cycle 1, Comprehensive Cohort, Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, a national sample of individuals ages 45 to 85 years. Systemic inflammatory/metabolic CVD risk factors collected were high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level, high-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, total cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, and hemoglobin A1c.
Objective: To determine whether an apparent association between hand osteoarthritis (OA) and adiposity is explained by the presence of OA at other joint sites.
Methods: Data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, first cycle, comprehensive cohort, were used. Respondents age 45-85 years (n = 18,279) were asked separate questions about doctor-diagnosed OA in the hand, hip, or knee.
Background: On average older adults experiencing TBI are hospitalized four times as often, have longer hospital stays, and experience slower recovery trajectories and worse functional outcomes compared to younger populations with the same injury severity. A standard measure of Qol for older adults with TBI would facilitate accurate and reliable data across the individual patient care continuum and across clinical care settings, as well as support more rigorous research studies of metadata.
Purpose: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate patient reported Qol measures in studies with older adults post TBI.
Background: Little is known about the mechanisms that influence the success or failure of programs to facilitate re-engagement with health and social services for formerly incarcerated persons with HIV. This review aims to identify how interventions to address such transitions work, for whom and under what circumstances.
Methods: We will use realist review methodology to conduct our analysis.
