“…However, the exercise program on an ADP was not adequate stimulus to significantly improve agility and balance in the OWG and HG. Nonetheless, the results of the 8 foot UP & Go test can be considered normal [62]. Contrary to what might be expected, the rebound effect produced by ADP did not improve jumping ability in overweight and obese people despite including plyometric in the AD program.…”

Background: Obesity is a global health problem associated with a high number of comorbidities that decrease functional capacity, especially in elderly people. Aerobic dance is considered a viable strategy to prevent the effects of aging, mainly in obese and overweight elderly people. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aerobic dance on an air dissipation platform (ADP) on body composition, oxidative stress and muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness in elderly people. Methods: In total, 32 elderly adults (67.1 ± 3.6) were divided into 3 groups based on body mass index: healthy (HG), overweight (OWG) and obese (OG). Training program of aerobic dance on an ADP was carried out twice a week for 12 weeks. Results: OWG (p = 0.016) and OG decreased their weight (p < 0.001). There was a significant decrease in malondialdehyde concentrations in all experimental groups (p < 0.05). OWG and OG significantly improved their peak oxygen uptake (p < 0.01). HG increased the vertical jump height (p < 0.05), and HG and OG improved the power output of the lower extremities (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The aerobic dance on an ADP may be an effective alternative to lose weight, prevent oxidative stress and improve cardiorespiratory fitness in obese and overweight elderly people.

“…Applying the criteria of the frailty phenotype model proposed by Fried et al [ 4 ], two groups: a non-frailty group ( n = 630), satisfying none of the frailty criteria, and a pre-frailty group ( n = 385), satisfying one or two criteria, were distinguished (more details can be found in Ignasiak et al [ 18 ]). Frail cases were excluded from the study because the state of frailty was identified only in one person (at least three frailty criteria were satisfied).…”

Background and aim The rising aging index of many populations necessitates the continuous evolution of geriatric assessment methods, especially the ones used to identify frailty and the risk of frailty. An appropriately early diagnosis of adverse changes in skeletal muscles can reduce the risk of functional limitations in elderly persons. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between the appendicular skeletal muscle mass and quality, estimated by the bioelectrical impedance analysis method, and the risk of prevalence of the pre-frailty state in elderly persons. Methods One-thousand-and-fifteen subjectively healthy persons aged 60–87 years were tested. Anthropometric measurements and physical fitness and activity measurements were carried out and the frailty phenotype was evaluated. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass was estimated using the bioelectrical impedance analysis method. Muscle quality was assessed through an index correcting strength relative to muscle mass and through the impedance phase angle. The correlation between the muscle mass and quality estimating parameters and the probability of identifying pre-frailty was checked using multiple logistic regression. Results The prevalence of pre-frailty was 38%. The pre-frail persons were found to have a significantly lower muscle mass and quality than the non-frail persons, with the difference in the case of the muscle quality index nearly twice larger than for the muscle mass index. A significant logit model was obtained for pre-frailty prevalence, which was strongly dependent on the appendicular skeletal muscle mass (adjusted odds ratio (OR): 0.43, 95% CI 0.36–0.52, p < 0.001) and functional quality (adjusted OR: 0.26, 95% CI 0.18–0.38, p < 0.001) and less on age (adjusted OR: 1.10, 95% CI 1.07–1.13, p < 0.001). Conclusion The strong correlation between the frailty phenotype and appendicular skeletal muscle mass and functional quality suggests that the two variables should be included in routine geriatric assessment with regard to frailty.

“…improve over time [6,7], it is important to identify modifiable risk factors associated to it so that personalized preventive, multidisciplinary interventions can be developed and implemented [8,9]. According to two systematic reviews analysing both cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on older people, frailty was associated with some specific socio-demographic characteristics and mental, cognitive, and health-related factors [10,11].…”

Background While it is well established that frail older people have a higher risk of negative health outcomes, the prevalence of frailty and its associated factors in Italian older institutionalized population has never been investigated. Aims The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of frailty and to identify its associated factors in an Italian residential care home population. Methods An observational cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate older people aged 70 or over of an Italian residential care home. A multidimensional assessment examining functional, geriatric, ophthalmic, and audiological domains was carried out to identify factors associated with frailty. Physical frailty was evaluated using Fried's criteria. Results Data analysis uncovered a 51.1% prevalence of pre-frailty and a 40.4% prevalence of frailty in the 94 eligible participants (64 females) whose data were complete. The multivariable analysis showed that a low education level (OR = 5.12,
