Characterization of biopsychosocial factors of patients with chronic nonspecifi...
Rocha,Jessica Roberta de Oliveira; Karloh,Manuela; Santos,Adair Roberto Soares dos; Sousa,Tatiane Regina deABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Low back pain is considered a public health problem worldwide and has a personal, social, occupational and economic impact. Psychosocial signs such as inappropriate beliefs about pain, fear of movement, anxiety, stress, depression and low job satisfaction are characteristics of individuals with low back pain. These clinical signs are mediators of chronic pain and disability. ...
Body mass index, asthma, and respiratory symptoms: a population-based study
Souza,Elaine Cristina Caon de; Pizzichini,Marcia Margaret Menezes; Dias,Mirella; Cunha,Maíra Junkes; Matte,Darlan Lauricio; Karloh,ManuelaABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and asthma, according to body mass index (BMI), as well as to evaluate factors associated with physician-diagnosed asthma, in individuals ≥ 40 years of age. Methods: This was a population-based cross-sectional study conducted in Florianópolis, Brazil, with probability sampling. Data were collected during home visits. Demographic data were co...
Is the COPD Assessment Test sensitive for differentiating COPD patients from ac...
Karloh,Manuela; Rocha,Simone Aparecida Vieira; Pizzichini,Marcia Margaret Menezes; Cavalli,Francine; Matte,Darlan Laurício; Pizzichini,EmilioABSTRACT Objective: To assess COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores in adults with and without COPD, as well as to compare the CAT scores for nonsmokers, former smokers, and smokers without COPD with those for patients with COPD. Methods: This was a cross-sectional population-based study (the Respira Floripa study). The study included adults ≥ 40 years of age residing in the city of Florianópolis, Brazil. A total o...
Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and reliability of the Understanding CO...
Mayer,Anamaria Fleig; Gulart,Aline Almeida; Santos,Karoliny dos; Cani,Katerine Cristhine; Karloh,Manuela; O’Neill,BrendaABSTRACT Objective: To translate the Understanding COPD (UCOPD) questionnaire into Portuguese, adapt it for use in Brazil, and assess its reliability. Methods: The UCOPD questionnaire consists of two sections, designated section A and section B. Section A comprises 18 items divided into three domains: “About COPD”, “Managing Symptoms of COPD”, and “Accessing Help and Support”. Section B includes five questions ...
Validation of a bioelectrical impedance analysis system for body composition as...
Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Karloh,Manuela; Araujo,Cintia Laura Pereira de; Reis,Cardine Martins dos; Mayer,Anamaria FleigABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the validity of an eight-contact electrode bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) system within a household scale for assessing whole body composition in COPD patients. Methods: Seventeen patients with COPD (mean age = 67 ± 8 years; mean FEV1 = 38.6 ± 16.1% of predicted; and mean body mass index = 24.7 ± 5.4 kg/m2) underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and an eight...
Functional capacity measurement: reference equations for the Glittre Activities...
Reis,Cardine Martins dos; Karloh,Manuela; Fonseca,Fernanda Rodrigues; Biscaro,Roberta Rodolfo Mazzali; Mazo,Giovana Zarpellon; Mayer,Anamaria FleigABSTRACT Objective: To develop reference equations for the Glittre Activities of Daily Living test (Glittre ADL-test) on the basis of anthropometric and demographic variables in apparently healthy individuals. A secondary objective was to determine the reliability of the equations in a sample of COPD patients. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 190 apparently healthy individuals (95 males; medi...
Performance of healthy adult subjects in Glittre ADL-test
Reis,Cardine Martins dos; Silva,Thales Cavallazzi da; Karloh,Manuela; Araujo,Cintia Laura Pereira de; Gulart,Aline Almeida; Mayer,Anamaria FleigThe Glittre ADL-test (TGlittre), validated to assess the functional capacity of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, has as outcome the shortest total time required to complete it. To date, little is known about the time that healthy individuals take to perform it. This study aimed to describe the total and shortest times spent to perform TGlittre in a sample of healthy adults, and to assess the...
Relação entre a capacidade funcional e a percepção de limitação em atividades d...
Gulart,Aline Almeida; Santos,Karoliny dos; Munari,Anelise Bauer; Karloh,Manuela; Cani,Katerine Cristhine; Mayer,Anamaria FleigO objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se há correlação entre a capacidade funcional e a percepção da limitação em atividades de vida diária (AVDs) de pacientes com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC). Trinta pacientes com DPOC foram submetidos a: avaliação antropométrica, espirometria, escala London Chest Activity of Daily Living (LCADL), teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6min) e teste de AVD-Glittre ...
Aplicabilidade de testes de atividades de vida diária em indivíduos com insufic...
Valadares,Ywia Danieli; Corrêa,Krislainy de Sousa; Silva,Bruna Oliveira; Araujo,Cintia Laura Pereira de; Karloh,Manuela; Mayer,Anamaria FleigA limitação nas atividades de vida diária (AVD) por dispneia é um achado comum nos pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca (IC), classe funcional III e IV. A avaliação específica da limitação nas AVD poderia ser utilizada como parâmetro de evolução da doença e de resposta terapêutica. Entretanto, há uma escassez de instrumentos de avaliação das AVD nessa população. Dessa forma, o objetivo do estudo foi verificar a...
