“…Dependency was measured by the validated Spanish version of the Barthel test [18] for basic daily activities, in its Spanish validation version; with scores ranging from 0 to 100, those <90indicate dependency. Family function was recorded following The Family APGAR questionnaire in its Spanish form [19], the scale can range from 0 to 10, < 7 represents family dysfunction.…”

BackgroundDecisive information on the parameters involved in cognitive impairment in patients with chronic heart failure is as yet lacking. Our aim was to determine the functional and psychosocial variables related with cognitive impairment using the mini-mental-state examination (MMSE) with age-and education-corrected scores.MethodsA cohort study of chronic heart failure patients included in an integrated multidisciplinary hospital/primary care program. The MMSE (corrected for age and education in the Spanish population) was administered at enrolment in the program. Analyses were performed in 525 patients. Demographic and clinical variables were collected. Comprehensive assessment included depression (Yesavage), family function (family APGAR), social network (Duke), dependence (Barthel Index), frailty (Barber), and comorbidities. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to determine the predictors of cognitive impairment.ResultsCognitive impairment affected 145 patients (27.6 %). Explanatory factors were gender (OR: 2.77 (1.75–4.39) p < 0.001), ischemic etiology (OR: 1.99 (1.25–3.17) p = 0.004), frailty (OR: 1.58 (0.99 to 2.50, p =0.050), albumin > 3.5 (OR: 0.59 (0.35–0.99) p = 0.048), and beta-blocker treatment (OR: 0.36 (0.17 to 0.76, p = 0.007)). No association was found between cognitive impairment and social support or family function.ConclusionThe observed prevalence of cognitive impairment using MMSE corrected scores was 27.6 %. A global approach in the management of these patients is needed, especially focusing on women and patients with frailty, low albumin levels, and ischemic aetiology heart failure.

“…ActiLife 5 (ActiGraph software, LLC, Pensacola, FL, USA) was employed to analyze the resulting data. Given that the amount of PA performed is related to the individual level of independence to complete everyday activities 17 and to individual fitness levels 18 , participants in this study completed an adapted version of the Barthel Index (BI) 19 , and carried out the Chair StandTest with five repetitions 20 . The results from these tests were used as an indirect indicator to contrast CHAMPS validity.…”

Various studies have highlighted the benefits of physical activity (PA) performance in older adults on physical, cognitive, and functional levels 1 . For this reason, one of the main health strategies aimed at this group is the promotion of PA 2 . For this purpose, it is fundamental to ascertain efficient resources in order to pinpoint the level of PA that has been reached after a period of time. This would allow experts to determine the baseline from which an adequate prescription of PA performance could be established, as well as to identify the effects of the interventions with this objective in mind. In this regard, PA recall performance questionnaires are considered the most effective tool given their low-cost, ease of administration, and capacity for simultaneous assessment in larger samples 3 . In spite of this, research is still scarce regarding the psychometric properties of the Spanish versions of questionnaires that are specifically tailored for the assessment of PA performance in older adults [4][5][6][7] . It has been suggested that the questionnaire that was created on the basis of the study entitled "Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors," also known as CHAMPS 8 , is the most advisable resource in situations where the main goal is to estimate the prevalence of PA performance in older adults, primarily because the questionnaire features a series of psychometric properties that are suitable for this purpose 9 . However, from an epidemiological approach, the use of CHAMPS with Spanish older populations would present a number of methodological limitations since the psychometric properties of the adapted version of CHAMPS for Hispanic populations have not yet been investigated 10 . Moreover, this version was later modified to assess its applicability in Puerto Rican populations, but only its internal consistency was analyzed by testing a very small sample of older adults between the ages of 65 and 9011 . Consequently, the degree of validity of that version remains to be determined when administered to adult Spanish populations. In addition, it has been noted that CHAMPS validity behaves differently in institutionalized older adults, a group for which a very low level of affinity has been detected between the amount of PA estimated by the questionnaire and the amount registered through accelerometry 12 . Hence, this particular line of research is yet to be fully exploited.Under these circumstances, the present study investigates the validity of a Spanish adaptation of the CHAMPS questionnaire for institutionalized older adults between the ages of 74 and 90. MethodsParticipants in this study were recruited through a collaboration agreement signed between the University of "Vigo" and "Fundación San Rosendo", a company that specializes in geriatric center management. The inclusion criteria were the following: (a)being over 65 years' old; (b) residing in a geriatric center; and (c)presenting mobility autonomy, in other words, being able to move freely without the help of another person.

“…The participants' height and weight were recorded both in the morning, between 8 am and 10 am. The degree of functional independency in daily life activities was assessed by using the Barthel index in its Spanish version (12). The patient perceived quality of life was assessed using the Spanish version of the Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12) (13), which provides 3 scores: physical component, mental component, and total score (the sum of both components).…”

Introduction: Malnutrition is a serious and relatively common problem among hospitalized patients; moreover, it is known that a good hydration state contributes to health and wellbeing. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional status, functional dependency, quality of life and liquid-intake habits in malnourished patients after hospital discharge. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study in 91 patients (45 males) who presented malnutrition at hospital discharge. The patients were grouped according to their liquid intake estimated through the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire: 3-5 glasses (n = 42), and > 5 glasses (n = 46); removing from analysis < 3 glasses of liquid intake (n = 3). The body mass index, weight, Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST), functional dependency (Barthel questionnaire), and quality of life (Short Form 12 Health Survey [SF-12]) were assessed 2-months after discharge. Results: The > 5 glasses liquid intake group showed better nutritional status than the 3-5 glasses intake group, for weight (p < 0.001), body mass index (p = 0.001), and MUST scale (p = 0.020). Additionally, the > 5 glasses liquid intake group signifi cantly scored higher values in the total SF-12 questionnaire (p = 0.013), presenting better self-reported quality of life, and higher functional independency in the Barthel index (p = 0.037) than the 3-5 glasses liquid intake group (p = 0.013). Conclusions: Although further research is needed to elucidate the characteristics of this relationship, descriptive comparisons between groups showed favorable nutritional status, functional independency and quality of life for the > 5 glasses of liquid intake compared with the 3-5 glasses of liquid intake group during a 2-months follow-up.
