Elena Hadjimbei, George Botsaris, Vassilis Gekas and Andrie G Panayiotou
Article Type: Research Article | First Published: April 25, 2019
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was found to be average for the majority of young adults, with 21.8% being classified as low adherers, and 26.9% as high adherers. A higher health habit score was associated with higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet (0.614 higher average adherence (95% CI: 1.07 to 1.55) for one unit change in health habit score). About 63% of students reported consuming breakfast on a regular basis, while half consumed three or fewer meals per day. The main person respon...

Sixty-two older women were randomized into a multicomponent group (MG: n = 32, 65.28 ± 4.96 years) or a stretching group (SG: n = 32, 64.40 ± 3.68 years). MG performed joint mobility exercises, walking, muscle strength exercises and intermittent activities. SG has performed flexibility exercises with minimal physical effort. In order to verify the functional fitness, the Senior Fitness Test battery was used and the quality of life was verified by means of the WHOQOL BREF questionnaire in the p...

Elderly patients have impaired physical function, which is further reduced by the incidence of hospitalization for heart failure. In these patients, nutritional status also deteriorates during hospitalization, which may cause impairment in their physical function. In this study, we repeatedly measured physical function using gait speed (GS) during hospitalization, and evaluated the factors including nutritional status that are associated with GS at discharge in elderly patients with acute heart ...
