Hand Grip Force-Time Curve Indicators Evaluated by Dynamometer: A Systematic Re...
Santos, Tânia; Guerra, R.S.; Valdiviesso, Rui; Amaral, TeresaBackground: Handgrip strength (HGS) is an indicator of muscular strength, used in the diagnosis of sarcopenia, undernutrition, and physical frailty as well as recovery. Typically, the maximum HGS value is used; however, recent evidence suggests the exploration of new indicators provided based on the force-time curve to achieve a more comprehensive assessment of muscle function. Therefore, the objective was to i...

Sitting time and associated factors among Portuguese older adults: results from...
Sousa, AS; Mendes, J.; Guerra, R.S.; Padrão, Patrícia; Moreira, Pedro; Santos, Alejandro; Borges, Nuno; Afonso, Cláudia; Martins, C; Ferro, GOlder adults are particularly susceptible to sedentary behaviours. Sitting time has been increasingly referred to as a potentially modifiable risk factor in the prevention of chronic diseases. Identifying factors associated with sitting time, particularly those that are modifiable, will allow for more effective public health strategies. This study aimed to describe sitting time among Portuguese older adults and...

Sarcopenia among hospitalized patients: 1 cross-sectional study
Sousa, A.S.; Guerra, R.S.; Fonseca, I.; Pichel, F.; Amaral, TeresaBackground & aims: Data on the prevalence of sarcopenia among hospitalized older patients are scarceand there is no available information on the burden of sarcopenia among younger patients. The presentstudy aims to increase the knowledge about the frequency of sarcopenia among hospitalized patientsand to evaluate the influence of different diagnostic criteria in these estimates.Methods: A cross-sectional study ...
