Background Fall prevention programs have been proven effective in reducing falls and fall-related injuries in specific target groups and settings. However, implementing these programs on a larger scale often requires adjustments for feasibility. This study assessed the effectiveness of a nationally implemented …

Background: As our global population ages, malnutrition and sarcopenia are increasingly prevalent. Given the multifactorial nature of these conditions, effective management of (risk of) malnutrition and sarcopenia necessitates interprofessional collaboration (IPC). This study aimed to understand primary …

Loneliness among young adults is a growing concern worldwide, posing serious health risks. While the human ecological framework explains how various factors such as socio-demographic, social, and built environment characteristics can affect this feeling, still, relatively little is known about the effect …

Background: Both the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and daily life gait quality and quantity obtained from wearable sensors are used to measure functional status in older adults. It is generally assumed that they are interrelated and exchangeable, but this has not yet been established. Interchangeability …

Rationale: Sarcopenia and obesity are prevalent conditions and are both associated with negative health outcomes. ESPEN and EASO reached consensus on the definition and diagnostic criteria for sarcopenic obesity (SO) encompassing indicators fat mass, muscle mass, and muscle function. However, few studies …

Rationale: Sarcopenia and obesity are prevalent conditions and often co-occur within the same individual. ESPEN and EASO reached consensus on the definition of sarcopenic obesity (SO), encompassing altered muscle function (MF) and altered body composition (BC). However, both handgrip strength (HGS) and …

Rationale In bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measurements, one pair of electrodes is typically placed dorsal on the right hand (position A) and one pair on the foot. In patients with fragile skin, scars or wounds, this dorsal hand placement is not always possible. This study compares agreement …

Rationale Bij bio-elektrische impedantieanalyse (BIA)-metingen wordt doorgaans een paar elektroden dorsaal op de rechterhand geplaatst (positie A) en een paar op de voet. Bij patiënten met kwetsbare huid, littekens of wonden is deze dorsale handplaatsing niet altijd mogelijk. Deze studie vergelijkt de …
