Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been identified as a significant age-related disorder associated with cardiovascular and metabolic morbidities. However, its relationship in non-elderly populations remains unclear. A recent study published in the Journal of Translational Medicine sheds light on this issue, revealing that OSA is associated with reduced muscle quality
Coronary heart disease
According to a recent study published in the Cardiology journal, researchers from Guangzhou Medical University have identified several risk factors for frailty syndrome in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The study found that age, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), living alone, anxiety, history of falls, sarcopenia, and NT-proBNP were
Elderly patients
Older surgical patients with cognitive impairment (CI) and frailty are at a higher risk of experiencing worse perioperative outcomes, including longer hospital stays and a greater incidence of non-home discharge. A recent multicentered longitudinal cohort study conducted at the University of Toronto found that patients with preoperative CI were more

As the world's population ages, a growing number of older adults are experiencing cervical spinal cord injuries (CSCI) without major bone injury, a condition that can lead to paralysis and poor neurological outcomes. A nationwide, retrospective study conducted by researchers from Kanazawa University investigated the characteristics and outcomes
Antiarthritic agents
A new study published in the Journal of Sports and Exercise Science, Retos: Nuevas Tendencias en Educacion Fisica, Deportes y Recreacion, has found that both open kinetic chain (OKC) and closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises are effective in improving dynamic balance and health status in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Investigators at the Beijing Hospital in Beijing, People's Republic of China have published a new report on medical devices and surgical technology. The research focused on identifying predictors of persistent postoperative frailty in older patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgery. The study aimed to explore the clinical utility of
Cardiac patients
Professor Caleb Ferguson, a cardiovascular nurse researcher, has been awarded a four-year $652,000 Heart Foundation Future Leader Fellowship to develop and test a nurse-coordinated transitional care model for frail, older adults with multiple heart-related conditions. The project aims to improve recovery, reduce hospital readmissions, and enhance quality of life
