Background Among older adults, decreased handgrip strength is associated with greater risk of frailty, and loss of physical function, mobility, lean mass, and overall muscular strength and power. Frailty is also associated with sarcopenia, for which

Physical activity is an important part of clinical assessment. However, objective measurement can be expensive and burdensome. The current study validated a single activity question for use in clinical assessment. Ninety-seven older women (mean age =

Background: Muscle provides a reservoir for water to maintain fluid volume and blood pressure, so older adults may be at risk for orthostatic hypotension due to muscle loss with age. Objectives: To evaluate the association between muscle loss with ag

We compared accuracy of body mass index (BMI) versus lean mass index (LMI) to predict sarcopenia in 58 community-dwelling women (74.1±0.9 years). Lean mass was measured with multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis, and strength was measured

Many older adults do not engage in age-based prevention despite evidence to support reduced health risks and enhanced successful aging. The purpose of this study was to determine whether self-perceived aging (SPA) differed among older adults by age (

The 2010 U.S. Department of Education Regulation on Program Integrity has significantly impacted all nursing programs using online education to reach students outside their state by adding substantial reporting requirements. Without a national cleari

Handgrip strength is related to mortality, disability, functional independence, and quality of life in older adults, and cut points for diagnosis of sarcopenia have been proposed. However, there is no standardized procedure or device, so measurement

Older adults with sarcopenia may be at risk for unstable postural blood pressure due to diminished lean mass that plays a role in maintaining fluid volume. Males have greater lean mass, so risk may be mediated by gender. We compared postural blood pr

This study examined falls data reported by staff to (a) describe characteristics of falls in this population and (b) analyze the quality and utility of the data available from incident reports (IRs) to improve fall prevention. Data from 34 incident r
