Abstract:

Cancer is predominantly a disease affecting older persons. 43% of new cancer cases in Canada occur among those who are at least 70 years old, while 25% occur in those aged 60--69 years. Cancer fatigue is the most common symptom associated with cancer and its treatment, and is often the most distressing symptom reported by cancer patients. Cancer fatigue adversely affects physical activity levels, physical function, and quality of life. Physical function is essential to older adults in maintaining independence and associated quality of life which is often more important to older adults than can

Abstract:

This quasi-experimental study investigates neuropsychological functioning differences between 63 active duty soldiers who were placed into three groups (MTBI, PTSD, control) to provide better information for differentiating PTSD and MTBI. The ANAM and MicroCog were utilized to measure psychomotor speed, memory, and attention. Participants with PTSD performed worse on most measures of psychomotor speed and attention, and endorsed more symptoms of depression and anxiety when compared to MTBI and control participants. Further, attention appears to be the best cognitive domain for differentiating

Abstract:

BACKGROUND In the past two decades, it has become evident that the role of vitamin D extends beyond calcium homoeostasis.1 Vitamin D metabolites have been found to affect muscle metabolism by stimulating de novo protein synthesis, increasing the proportion of type II muscle fibers and improving muscle function.2 Moreover Vitamin D receptors seem to be widespread in brain tissue and vitamin D’s biologically active form (1,25OHD3) has shown neuroprotective effects including the clearance of amyloid plaques.3 Clinical studies on older people have shown that low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin

Abstract:

Objectives: Several risk and protective factors are associated with changes in cognitive functioning in aging adults - including physical health, depression, physical activity, and social activities - though the findings for participation in social activities are mixed. This study investigated the longitudinal association between social participation and two domains of cognitive functioning, memory and executive function. A primary goal of our analyses was to determine whether social participation predicted cognitive functioning over-and-above physical health, depression, and physical activity

Abstract:

Little research has examined the role of physical activity in relationship functioning.

For both subsamples, although physical activity was not a significant unique predictor of relationship functioning in regression analyses, sexual satisfaction and self-esteem each significantly contributed the variance relationship functioning.

Sarcopenia is a growing health problem in this country as more Americans are living well into old age.

Despite the well-recognized benefits of exercise, Americans are gaining weight in astounding proportions and levels of physical activity are on the decline.

A series of questions regarding the impact of maternal chronic pain on children were addressed in this dissertation.

It was found that mothers with chronic pain had decreased physical, mental and social functioning, as well as reduced parenting efficacy.

Background: Physical activity questionnaires (PAQ) have been extensively used to determine physical activity (PA) levels. Most PAQ are derived from an energy expenditure-based perspective and assess activities with a certain intensity level. Activities with a moderate or vigorous intensity level are predominantly used to determine a person’s PA level in terms of quantity. Studies show that the time spent engaging in moderate and vigorous intensity PA does not appropriately reflect the actual PA behavior of older people because they perform more functional, everyday activities.
