概括
老年人的动脉硬 (PWV) 受风险因素和年龄的负面影响. 然而,身体活动,行走能力和平衡表现出与PWV的有益关联,这表明改善的健身可以帮助管理动脉硬.
科学领域:
- 老年学和心血管健康
- 运动生理学和生物力学
背景情况:
- 动脉硬是心血管事件的预测因素,受衰老和生活方式因素的影响.
- 虽然运动通常会改善心血管健康,但不同健身成分对老年人动脉硬的具体影响需要进一步调查.
研究的目的:
- 检查各种健身指数 (平衡,力量,心血管健康,体力活动) 与动脉硬度之间的关系,通过脉冲波速度 (PWV) 测量.
- 在一组老年人中确定与动脉硬相关的关键健康和健身参数.
主要方法:
- 80名老年人接受了评估,包括耶鲁体力活动调查,PWV测量,力量测试 (坐立,手握),平衡测试和6分钟步行测试.
- 量化了心血管风险因素 (高血压,心脏事件/中风病史,吸烟,药物使用).
- 用皮尔森的相关性来分析PWV与测量健康/健身参数之间的关联.
主要成果:
- 增加的年龄,更高的静脉血压和更多的心血管风险因素与增加的动脉硬度 (PWV) 密切相关.
- 较高的总体体力活动水平,能源消耗,以及在6分钟步行测试中的更好的表现,与较低的PWV显示出中等,有益的关联.
- 坐立强度和平衡测试显示,与PWV的弱,有益的关联,而手握强度和BMI没有显著的相关性.
结论:
- 控制心血管风险因素,特别是高血压,对于减轻老年人动脉硬度至关重要.
- 提高一般体力活动水平,包括行走能力和平衡,可能有助于改善动脉硬性和整体心血管健康.

The Effect of Aging on Tissues
2.1K
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
