“…Researchers in that study suggested that EQ-VAS scoring may be an indicator for determining the frailty. In that study, the cut off EQ-VAS was reported as 72 for frailty (48). Our results support these data (EQ-VAS values> 72 in the non-frail group, <72 in the frail group), however, the difference between the groups is statistically insignificant.…”

Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı tip 2 diyabet tanısı almış yaşlı erişkinlerde kırılganlıkla ilgili faktörleri belirlemektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 65 yaş ve üstü, tip 2 diyabet tanısı almış 108 kişi dahil edildi. Katılımcıların kırılganlığı FRAIL anketi ile değerlendirilmiş, beslenme durumu Mini Beslenme Değerlendirme Kısa Formu (MNA-SF) ile, depresyon durumu Hasta Sağlığı Anketi-2 (PHQ2) ve Geriatrik Depresyon Ölçeği Kısa Formu (GDS-SF) ile değerlendirilirken, yaşam kalitesi EuroQol-5 Boyut (EQ5D) ve EQ VAS puanlaması ile, kişisel bakım durumları ise Günlük Yaşamın Temel Aktiviteleri (BADL) ve Günlük Yaşamın Enstrümantal Aktiviteleri (IADL) formları ile değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Kırılgan grupta, kırılgan olmayanlara göre uyku sorunları, düşme korkusu, idrar kaçırma, PHQ2, GDS-SF ve EQ5D skorları anlamlı olarak yüksek; MNASF skoru ise anlamlı olarak düşüktü (p<0,05, tüm kıyaslamalar için).Sonuç: Bu çalışmada yaşlı diyabetik hastalarda kırılganlık ile malnütrisyon, azalan yaşam kalitesi ve artmış depresyon arasındaki ilişki gösterilmiştir. Tüm bu faktörlerin diyabet yönetiminde bir yeri olduğu için farkındalık artırılmalı ve yaşlı diyabetlilerde kırılganlık taraması genişletilmelidir.

The self-administered health assessment tool, the EQ-VAS, was deemed appropriate as a frailty screening tool,40 and low calf circumference (<32 cm) was shown to be strongly related to cognitive frailty in men 41…”

PurposeThe purpose of the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS) is to initiate a nationwide, population-based prospective cohort study of older adults living in the community to assess their frailty status and explore transitions between frailty states over time in Korea.ParticipantsThe KFACS is a multicentre longitudinal study with the baseline survey conducted from May 2016 to November 2017. Each centre recruited participants using quota sampling stratified by age and sex. The number of participants recruited through 2 years of baseline study from 10 centres was 3014, with each site accounting for approximately 300 participants. The inclusion criteria were: having an age of 70–84 years, currently living in the community, having no plans to move out in the next 2 years, having no problems with communication and no prior dementia diagnosis.Findings to dateTo define physical frailty, the KFACS used a modified version of the Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP) consisting of five components of frailty: unintended weight loss, weakness, self-reported exhaustion, slowness and low physical activity. In the baseline study of 2016–2017, 2907 of 3014 individuals fulfilled all five components of FFP. The results indicated that 7.8% of the participants (n=228) were frail, 47.0% (n=1366) were prefrail and 45.2% (n=1313) were robust. The prevalence of frailty increased with age in both sexes; in the group aged 70–74 years, 1.8% of men and 3.7% of women were frail, whereas in the 80–84 years age group, 14.9% of men and 16.7% of women were frail. Women tended to exhibit a higher prevalence of frailty than men in all age groups.Future plansThe KFACS plans to identify outcomes and risk factors associated with frailty by conducting a 10-year cohort study, with a follow-up every 2 years, using 3014 baseline participants.

Background Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has become an important public health problem. However, the conventional therapeutic strategy, including pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, has limitations. Neurofeedback is a technique that utilizes electroencephalography (EEG) signaling to monitor human physiological functions and is widely used to treat patients with PTSD. The purpose of our study is to assess the efficacy and safety level of neurofeedback treatment in patients with PTSD using quantitative EEG. Methods This is a randomized, waitlist-controlled, assessor-blinded, clinical trial. Forty-six patients with PTSD will be randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio into two groups. The participants in the treatment group will receive neurofeedback treatment for 50 min, twice a week, for 8 weeks (16 sessions). Quantitative EEG will be utilized to monitor the physiological functions and brain waves of the participants. A four-week follow-up period is planned. The participants in the control group will wait for 12 weeks. The primary outcome is the Korean version of PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5-K) score. The PCL-5-K scores on week 8 will be compared between the two groups. Anxiety, depression, insomnia, emotions, EEG, quality-of-life, and safety level will be assessed as secondary outcomes. Discussion This trial will describe a clinical research methodology for neurofeedback in patients with PTSD. The numerous subjective and objective secondary outcomes add to the value of this trial’s results. It will also suggest a therapeutic strategy for utilizing quantitative EEG in patients with PTSD. Our trial will provide basic evidence for the management of PTSD via an integrative treatment. Trial registration Clinical Research Information Service (CRIS): KCT0003271.
