Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of dietary fatty acids and carbohydrates on the ratio of serum total to HDL cholesterol and on serum lipids and apolipoproteins: a meta-analysis of 60 controlled trials
TL;DR: The effects of dietary fats on total:HDL cholesterol may differ markedly from their effects on LDL, and the effects of fats on these risk markers should not in themselves be considered to reflect changes in risk but should be confirmed by prospective observational studies or clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of pain catastrophizing mediates the outcome of both physical and cognitive-behavioral treatment in chronic low back pain.
TL;DR: It is shown that treatment elements that do not deliberately target cognitive factors can reduce pain catastrophizing and internal control of pain, and reduces the improvement of functioning in patients with chronic low back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new validated endurance performance test.
TL;DR: In this paper, the reproducibility of three different endurance performance tests was evaluated and it was concluded that reproducability of a test at 75% Wmax until exhaustion is poor and these tests are not reliable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carpal tunnel syndrome: Prevalence in the general population
TL;DR: To study the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome in the general population and the value of brachialgia paraesthetica nocturna (BPN) in diagnosing CTS, an age and sex stratified random sample of 715 subjects was taken from the population register of Maastricht and surrounding villages between September 1983 and July 1985.

TL;DR: A fall risk model converted to a "desk model," consisting of the predictors postural sway, fall history, hand dynamometry, and depression, provides added value in the identification of community-dwelling elderly at risk for recurrent falling and facilitates the prediction of recurrent falls.
