    Keywords : elderly people; functional capacity; hip fractnre; mental impairment; nutritional status; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The aim was to study nutritional status and functional capacity in elderly men and women admitted to hospital with a hip fractnre, and to evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention and surgical method. A total of 176 patients participated in the study. READ MORE

  4. 2. Disease-related malnutrition: Energy balance, body composition and functional capacity in patients on oral nutritional support after major upper gastrointestinal surgery

    Author : Lotta Copland; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; energy balance; body composition; functional capacity; nutritional therapy; surgery;

    Abstract : Background: Patients with cancer of the upper gastrointestinal tract are susceptible to malnutrition. Surgery is the only curative treatment although the procedure may negatively impact nutritional status. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lung function in relation to exercise capacity in health and disease

    Author : Amir Farkhooy; Andrei Malinovschi; Christer Janson; Hans Hedenström; Harrpa Arnardottir; Ann Ekberg Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Exercise capacity; Exercise test; Lung function; Spirometri; Diffusion capacity; COPD; Pulmonary hypertension; Clinical Physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

    Abstract : Background: Exercise capacity (EC) is widely recognized as a strong and independent predictor of mortality and disease progression in various diseases, including cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Furthermore, it is generally accepted that exercise capacity in healthy individuals and in patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases is mainly limited by the maximum cardiac output. READ MORE
