Raw Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Variables Are Independent Predictors of Early All-Cause Mortality in Patients With COPD

TL;DR: IRs and phase angle are independent and powerful predictors of all-cause mortality in COPD and should be considered, together with inspiratory capacity and 6-min walk distance, as significant prognostic factors in the short- to middle-term.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lower Performance in the Six-Minute Walk Test in Obese Youth With Cardiometabolic Risk Clustering.

TL;DR: The 6MWT may represent a valuable, simple and low cost test to estimate the cardiorespiratory fitness in youth with obesity, and may be considered as an additional trait of CMR clustering in obese youth.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary assessment methods in surveillance systems targeted to adolescents: A review of the literature.

TL;DR: There is considerable variability across the ongoing multinational surveillance systems identified, suggesting the need for a SURSYS targeted to adolescents that gathers as much as possible complete dietary information, with standardised methodology and regular periodicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynapenia is highly prevalent in older patients with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

TL;DR: In this paper, a handgrip strength (HGS) was measured with a digital handle dynamometer for both dominant and non-dominant body sides and the prevalence of Dynapenia was identified according to six recognized criteria sets.
