Smoking History and Physical Performance in Midlife: Results From the British 1946 Birth Cohort
TL;DR: Lifetime cigarette pack-years are strongly related to physical performance in the fifth decade of life, suggesting that smokers will enter older adulthood with decreased physiological reserve, and underscore the need for effective smoking cessation and prevention programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
DHEAS Levels and Mortality in Disabled Older Women: The Women's Health and Aging Study I
Anne R. Cappola,Qian Li Xue,Jeremy D. Walston,Sean X. Leng,Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,Linda P. Fried +6 more
TL;DR: Disabled older women with either low or high levels of DHEAS are at greater risk for death than are those with intermediate levels, and more research is needed to determine if targeted dehydroepiandrosterone supplementation would provide clinical benefit to disabled older women.
Journal ArticleDOI
New and Worsening Conditions and Change in Physical and Cognitive Performance During Weekly Evaluations Over 6 Months: The Women's Health and Aging Study
Jack M. Guralnik,Luigi Ferrucci,Brenda W.J.H. Penninx,Judith D. Kasper,Suzanne G. Leveille,Karen Bandeen-Roche,Linda P. Fried +6 more
TL;DR: Older disabled women frequently report the onset or worsening of acute and chronic conditions, and performance measures are not useful in monitoring modest, short-term changes in health status, but may still be valuable for assessing more majorChanges in health and functioning over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity, walking exercise, and calf skeletal muscle characteristics in patients with peripheral arterial disease
Mary M. McDermott,Jack M. Guralnik,Luigi Ferrucci,Lu Tian,William H. Pearce,Frederick L. Hoff,Kiang Liu,Yihua Liao,Michael H. Criqui +8 more
TL;DR: Higher physical activity levels, measured by accelerometer and by patient-reported blocks walked per week, were associated with more favorable calf muscle characteristics, and clinicians should encourage their patients to increase their walking activity during daily life.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mary M. McDermott,Robert L. Sufit,Takashi Nishida,Jack M. Guralnik,Luigi Ferrucci,Lu Tian,Kiang Liu,Jin Tan,William H. Pearce,Joseph R. Schneider,Leena Sharma,Michael H. Criqui +11 more
