Osteoporosis and the risk of falls increase the risk of fractures and events of falls. Prescriptions and programs for different forms of exercise have different impacts on the risk of falls, and exercises from multiple categories of whole-body vibration can be effective. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of whole-body vibration (WBV) protocol combined with multicomponent training (MCT) in elderly women with osteoporosis and their history of falls. Our proposal is a protocol for a randomized clinical trial, divided into two stages: First, development of a protocol for WVB combined with MCT for elderly women with osteoporosis and a history of falls, under the Guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine, and following the recommendations of the Standard Protocol Items Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT), and second, a randomized controlled clinical trial following the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). This trial will have implications for the effectiveness of a vibration protocol combined with multicomponent exercise on the risk of falls and quality of life for older women with osteoporosis. We expect that adding full-body vibration to an exercise protocol will decrease the risk of falls and improve participants’ quality of life, as well as their strength, balance, and functional capacity.
The objective of this study was to verify the possible association between Glutathione Stransferase genetic polymorphism and functional physical aspects in the elderly with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), as well as the increased susceptibility to its development. To carry out this cross-sectional study, 5 mL of blood was collected from 45 elderly people. The polymorphism was detected by the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (GSTM1 and GSTT1 polymorphisms). Functional physical aspects were assessed using physical tests. For statistical analysis, the Shapiro-and Qui Square tests )²א( were used. The presence of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes were more prevalent. There was a significant association between GSTT1 null genotypes and the presence / absence of DM2. No association was found between genotypes and functional physical aspects. It is concluded that the nullity of the GSTT1 genotype is associated with the susceptibility of DM2, but without a statistically significant relationship with functional physical aspects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
