The Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and Edmonton
Frail Scale (EFS) are widely used in acute care settings to assess nutritional
and frailty status, respectively. We aimed to determine whether the scored
PG-SGA can identify pre-frailty and frailty status, to simultaneously evaluate
malnutrition and frailty in clinical practice. Cross-sectional study. A

We aimed to examine the general health and intestinal physiology of young and
old non-human primates with comparable life histories and dietary environments.
Vervet monkeys (Chlorcebus aethiops sabaeus) in stable and comparable social and
nutritional environments were selected for evaluation. Health phenotype,
circulating cytokines and biomarkers of microbial translocation (MT) were
measured (n=26... hiện toàn bộ

Over half of outpatient visits are due to physical symptoms; yet, the
significance of symptoms in relation to older people’s wellbeing and prognosis
has gained very little research attention. This study aims to analyze the
prognostic value of symptom burden, derived from symptom count and frequency, in
an older cohort aged 75 to 95. We also explore the association between symptom
burden and psycho... hiện toàn bộ

The burden of multimorbidity in institutionalized elderly is poorly
investigated. We examined the associations of the type of multimorbidity (i.e.,
physical, mental or both) with the number of hospitalizations and emergency
department (ED) visits in nursing home (NH) residents. This is a cross-sectional
study among NH residents. Information on residents’ health, number of
hospitalizations in the l... hiện toàn bộ
