This study aimed to apply a neural network to raw bioelectrical impedance analysis data and to test whether sarcopenia could be predicted with high accuracy. The study population comprised 727 community-dwelling older adults aged 65-85 years who part...
INTRODUCTION: A growing number of community-dwelling older adults living alone face a range of physical, psychological and social challenges that negatively impact their well-being. Various technologies have been developed to support healthy ageing, ...
The aging population presents significant challenges for healthcare and social services, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions that support independent living. This study explores the feasibility of identifying Instrumental Activities of Dail...
BACKGROUND: Angina pectoris, a comparatively common complaint among older adults, is a critical warning sign of underlying coronary heart disease. We aimed to develop machine learning-based models using multiple algorithms to predict and identify the...
INTRODUCTION: Physical activity (PA) is crucial for older adults' well-being and mitigating health risks. Encouraging active lifestyles requires a deeper understanding of the factors influencing PA, which conventional approaches often overlook by ass...
BACKGROUND: Frailty is defined as a clinical state of increased vulnerability due to the age-associated decline of an individual's physical function resulting in increased morbidity and mortality when exposed to acute stressors. Early identification ...
BACKGROUND: The two most commonly used methods to identify frailty are the frailty phenotype and the frailty index. However, both methods have limitations in clinical application. In addition, methods for measuring frailty have not yet been standardi...
