ABSTRACT
At present, the suitable sports rehabilitation methods for frail old people mainly include endurance training, resistance train-ing and comprehensive functional training, while comprehensive functional training includes aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise, and is suitable for the frail elderly to do exercise at home, which is more conducive to further large-scale promotion. In addition, long-term low and medium intensity exercise can improve the balance ability of the elderly, prevent them from fall, improve the physiological function, and ef-fectively regulate muscle potential;while, the high intensity exercise has greater risk for older people. This article introduced the types and effects of exercise in order to provide reference basis for frail old people in China.
ABSTRACT
Sarcopenia is common in chronic heart failure. The pathogenesis of chronic heart failure-related sarcopenia is complex and diverse. Resistance training, as the main intervention for chronic heart failure-related sarcopenia, is widely applicated as effective and safe therapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and frailty among community aged people. Methods A total of 1571 aged people in two communities in Zhengzhou, Henan, China were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were divided into normal group, overweight group and obesity group according to BMI, and were assessed with Fried Frailty Criteria. Results The rates of overweight and obesity were 38.6%and 10.9%, respectively. There was significant difference in the level of frailty among dif-ferent groups (χ2=86.659, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that overweight and obesity were independent risk fac-tors of pre-frailty (P<0.05), and obesity was the independent risk factor of frailty (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in community aged people in Zhengzhou, and normal BMI was important to postpone the process of frailty.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To analyze the relationship between knowledge on cardiovascular disease prevention and ideal cardiovascular health behaviors and factors in community elderly. Methods From December, 2015 to May, 2016, totally 400 elderly in communities with-out overt cardiovascular disease were conveniently sampled. The level of knowledge on cardiovascular disease prevention was measured by self-designed cardiovascular disease prevention questionnaire. And each of the ideal cardiovascular health components was collected. Re-sults A total of 390 responses were valid. 13.85%community elderly were with high level of the knowledge. There were significant differ-ences in the distribution of cardiovascular health indexes among various leves of the knowledge groups (χ2>9.974, P<0.05), except choles-terol (P>0.05). The level of the knowledge was positively correlated with the scores of cardiovascular health behaviors and health factors (r>0.354, P<0.01). The cardiovascular health score, health behaviors score, health factors score and number of ideal cardiovascular health in-dexes were significantly different among various levels of the knowledge groups (F>8.961, P<0.001). Conclusion The level of knowledge on cardiovascular disease prevention was positively correlated with cardiovascular health behavior and health factors. The scores of cardio-vascular health score, health behaviors score and health factors increased with the improvement of knowledge on cardiovascular disease pre-vention.
ABSTRACT
With the rapid increase of the number of cardiovascular disease patients in China, and the popular trend of cardiovascular disease risk factors is becoming more and more obvious, the control of risk factors for cardiovascular disease has become an important public health problem as well as a great challenge to social and economic development. Recent studies show that resistance training plays a positive impact on the control of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This article reviewed the related literature in recent years for the resistance training control risk factors of the cardiovascular disease, and stated the precautions and challenges during the process of the implementation of resistance training in order to provide new clues to the research and practice for control the risk factors of cardiovascular disease .
