Relationship between multimorbidity, functional limitation, and quality of life among middle-aged and older adults: findings from the longitudinal analysis of the 2013–2020 Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE)
PurposeThe increased burden of multimorbidity is restricting individuals’ ability to live autonomously, leading to a poorer quality of life. This...

Analysing the role of sleep quality, functional limitation and depressive symptoms in determining life satisfaction among the older Population in India: a moderated mediation approach
Background:Life satisfaction (LS), a useful construct in the study of psycho-social well-being, is an important indicator of healthy aging. With a...

The effect of treadmill walk with abdominal bracing versus usual care on functional limitation and fear-avoidance behaviours in the management of non-specific low back pain—a randomized control study
BackgroundThe use of a combined abdominal bracing technique concurrently with treadmill walking exercise seems not to have been widely investigated,...

Do older adults with multimorbidity prefer institutional care than those without multimorbidity? The role of functional limitation
BackgroundPopulation ageing and social transformation present tremendous challenges to the informal support system of older adults, which engendered...

Assessment of airflow limitation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep breathing disorder affecting 9–25% of the general adult population.
AimTo assess...

High-velocity resistance training mitigates physiological and functional impairments in middle-aged and older adults with and without mobility-limitation
The aim of the present study was to compare the neuromuscular, morphological, and functional responses to a high-velocity resistance training (HVRT)...

A protocol for randomized controlled trial on multidisciplinary interventions for mobility limitation in the older adults (M-MobiLE)
BackgroundMobility limitation—the loss of exercise capacity or independent living ability—is a common geriatric syndrome in older adults. As a...

Co-limitation of Fine Root Growth by Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Early Successional Northern Hardwood Forests
Functional balance theory predicts that plants will allocate less carbon belowground when the availability of nutrients is elevated. We tested this...
