概括
携带艾滋病毒的老年人 (PWH) 面临着更高的跌倒风险. 强力板技术在PWH中显示出较差的姿势稳定性,与跌倒相关,降低了跌倒效率和脆弱性,表明这是一个有前途的查工具.
科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
- 生物医学工程 生物医学工程
背景情况:
- 随着艾滋病毒感染者 (PWH) 人口的老龄化,人们越来越担心与跌倒有关的伤害.
- 准确的跌倒风险评估对于这一群体至关重要.
- 姿势稳定性,可通过强力板技术测量,是一种新的选方法.
研究的目的:
- 评估强力板技术,以评估艾滋病毒感染的老年人 (PWH) 跌倒风险.
- 为了比较PWH和没有艾滋病毒的人 (PWoH) 的姿势稳定性.
- 确定姿势稳定性与已确定的跌倒风险因素之间的关联.
主要方法:
- 涉及50岁及以上的PWH和PWoH的横截面观察性研究.
- 使用经过验证的BTrackS平衡板来测量姿势稳定性的平衡评估.
- 多变量线性回归用于分析姿势稳定性,跌倒史,跌倒有效性,平衡信心和脆弱性之间的关系.
主要成果:
- 与PWoH相比,较老的PWH表现出较差的姿势稳定性 (35.4厘米与28.3厘米,p = .07).
- 较差的姿势稳定性与跌倒史,较低的跌倒效率以及脆弱/脆弱前状态相关.
- 在PWH中,较差的姿势稳定性与较差的跌倒效率和较低的平衡信心有显著的联系.
结论:

01:15Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
01:18Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion
In geriatric patients, renal physiology undergoes significant changes, including diminished renal blood flow and a lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to alterations in medication clearance. Drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, lithium, and digoxin, which rely on glomerular filtration for removal from the body, particularly impact pharmacokinetics. These drugs tend to have slower clearance rates in older adults, necessitating careful dosage considerations.Evaluation of renal...
