Weight-Bearing Exercise Training and Lumbar Bone Mineral Content in Postmenopausal Women
G. P. Dalsky,Karen S. Stocke,Ali A. Ehsani,Eduardo Slatopolsky,Waldon C. Lee,Stanley J. Birge +5 more
TL;DR: Weight-bearing exercise led to significant increases above baseline in bone mineral content which were maintained with continued training in older, postmenopausal women, and with reduced weight- bearing exercise, bone mass reverted to baseline levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
The prevalence and correlates of fear of falling in elderly persons living in the community.
TL;DR: Fear of falling is common in elderly persons and is associated with decreased quality of life, increased frailty, and recent experience with falls, and being very fearful of falling was associated with all of the above plus decreased mobility and social activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics and circumstances of falls in a hospital setting: a prospective analysis.
Eileen Hitcho,Melissa J. Krauss,Stanley J. Birge,William Claiborne Dunagan,Irene Fischer,Shirley Johnson,Patricia A. Nast,Eileen Costantinou,Victoria J. Fraser +8 more
TL;DR: Falls in the hospital affect young as well as older patients, are often unassisted, and involve elimination-related activities, which is necessary to prevent hospital falls and reduce fall injury rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D Deficiency Is Associated With Low Mood and Worse Cognitive Performance in Older Adults
TL;DR: In a cross-section of older adults, vitamin D deficiency was associated with low mood and with impairment on two of four measures of cognitive performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive effects of weight-bearing exercise and estrogen on bone mineral density in older women.
TL;DR: It is likely that the additive effects of weight‐bearing exercise and HRT on bone mineral accretion, coupled with other adaptations to the exercise (i.e., increased strength and functional capacity), could effectively reduce the incidence of falls and osteoporotic fractures.
