“…Por otro lado, los resultados son consistentes con algunos estudios previos que no encontraron diferencias significativas en la capacidad de ejercicio funcional entre hombres y mujeres en poblaciones sanas (Shakoor et al, 2021). Sin embargo, otros estudios han reportado diferencias en la capacidad de ejercicio funcional entre hombres y mujeres en poblaciones específicas, como pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) (Heldens et al, 2016) o en pacientes con insuficiencia cardíaca crónica (Heldens et al, 2016).…”

Los pacientes infectados por COVID-19 presentan secuelas en el sistema respiratorio a nivel mundial, trayendo consigo muertes y enfermedades como la disnea, deterioro en la función pulmonar, alteraciones intersticiales pulmonares incluida la fibrosis pulmonar. Por lo cual, el presente estudio comparó la capacidad del ejercicio funcional entre pacientes jóvenes de 20 a 25 años con y sin antecedentes de COVID-19 debido a los efectos negativos respiratorios que produjo este virus. El enfoque utilizado fue cuantitativo, de carácter no experimental, ya que no hubo manipulación de variables, el tipo de investigación es correlacional, se empleó un diseño factorial MANOVA para evaluar la influencia de la edad, el sexo e historial médico de la enfermedad en la capacidad de ejercicio funcional; la técnica empleada fue la observación y los instrumentos aplicados la Escala de Borg, Oxímetro y Odómetro. Los resultados indicaron que no hubo diferencias significativas en la capacidad de ejercicio funcional entre los grupos de sexo, edad o antecedentes de COVID-19. Estos hallazgos son consistentes con otros estudios y sugieren que la COVID-19 no afecta significativamente la capacidad de ejercicio funcional en pacientes jóvenes. Sin embargo, se deben considerar las limitaciones del estudio, incluyendo la selección de una población específica y el uso de una sola prueba de caminata de 6 minutos para evaluar la capacidad de ejercicio funcional.

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that an elevated BMI negatively impacts CRF by reducing 6-min walking distance (6MWD) and VO 2 max in both children and adolescents (Shah et al, 2022;Setty et al, 2013). However, few studies that have explored the interaction between PA, CRF, and obesity in young adults (Nataraj et al, 2022). The potential link between regular PA and improved cardiovascular and respiratory health in obese young adults remains insufficiently investigated.…”

Physical inactivity and a decline in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are well-known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, evidence suggests a correlation between obesity and diminished CRF level. However, the influence of physical activity (PA) on the CRF level of obese young adults remains unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the performance of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in physically active and inactive obese young adults aged 18-25 years. Fifty-six participants were included and classified into two groups based on their level of PA, assessed using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). These groups consisted of physically active obese participants (PAO; n = 28) and physically inactive obese participants (PIO; n = 28). All participants underwent a 6MWT, during which baseline demographic, anthropometric, dyspnea, and clinical data were recorded. Following the 6MWT, clinical data and the 6-min walking distance (6MWD) were evaluated, and the estimated maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2 max) was subsequently calculated. The findings indicated that following the 6MWT, there were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, oxygen saturation and dyspnea (all p > 0.05). Nevertheless, the PAO group exhibited a greater 6MWD and VO 2 max compared to the PIO group (p < 0.05). The results suggest that physically active obese young adults have a greater 6MWD and VO 2 max compared to their inactive counterparts. This implies that consistent PA could provide cardiovascular fitness benefits for obese individuals.

“…Some studies have reported an increase [4][5] , some decrease [6][7] , and some no change [8][9] in IOP with advancing age. Since age influences many parameters affecting IOP, including corneal thickness [10][11] , blood pressure (BP) [12][13] , pulse [13][14] , and body mass index (BMI) [13][14][15] , the role of these parameters should be considered in the interpretation of the results. Sociodemographic and non-ocular factors are said to be responsible for 10% of IOP variations.…”

AIM: To determine the distribution and associated factors of intraocular pressure (IOP) in an Iranian elderly population 60 years of age and above. METHODS: The present report is part of the Tehran Geriatric Eye study (TGES), a population-based cross-sectional study that was conducted on the residents of Tehran 60 years of age and above. The sampling was performed using multistage stratified random cluster sampling methods from 22 districts of Tehran, Iran. Demographic and history information, blood samples, and blood pressure were collected from all participants. Ocular examinations included measurement of uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, objective and subjective refraction, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy. The IOP was measured using Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Corneal imaging and ocular biometry were performed using Pentacam AXL. RESULTS: The data of 3892 eyes of 2124 individuals were analyzed for this report. The mean age of the study participants was 66.49±5.31y (range: 60 to 95y). The mean IOP was 15.2 mm Hg (95%CI: 15.1 to 15.4), 15.3 mm Hg (95%CI: 15.1 to 15.5) and 15.1 mm Hg (95%CI: 15.0 to 15.3) in all participants, males, and females, respectively. Of the study participants, 1.3% had an IOP of ≥20 mm Hg. The mean IOP increased from 15.1 mm Hg in the age group 60-64y to 16.3 mm Hg in the age group ≥80y. According to the final multiple GEE model, the IOP was statistically significantly higher in men than in women. All the studied age groups, except for the 75-79-year-old age group, had significantly higher IOP compared to the 60-64-year-old age group. The IOP was significantly higher in underweight compared to other body mass index groups. Moreover, the IOP had a statistically significant direct relationship with the mean corneal power (mean CP), central corneal thickness (CCT), and systolic blood pressure. CONCLUSION: The present study presents the distribution of IOP in an Iranian elderly population. A higher IOP (within the range 14 to 17 mm Hg) is significantly associated with older age, male sex, high systolic blood pressure, increased mean CP, and CCT. These factors should be considered in the clinical interpretation of IOP.
