INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the effect of operative claw toe correction with release of the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, repositioning of the plantar fat pad and resection of the proximal interphalangeal joint on foot kinematics, plantar pressure distribution and Foot Function Index (FFI). …

PURPOSE: To investigate the longitudinal association between the macronutrient composition of the diet and frailty. METHODS: Data were obtained from 5205 Dutch middle-aged and older adults participating in the Rotterdam Study. Frailty was measured using a frailty index based on the accumulation of 38 …

Introduction A rapidly increasing patient group is older adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes. The risk of accelerated muscle loss is prominent in this patient group. This population could benefit from weight loss, at the cost of increased risk of muscle loss and sarcopenia. Previous studies showed …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common nutrition (-related) disorders in patients with COPD and are associated with negative health outcomes and mortality. This study aims to correlate ultrasound measured rectus femoris size with fat-free mass and muscle function in patients with …

Background: A higher protein intake is suggested to preserve muscle mass during aging and may therefore reduce the risk of sarcopenia. Objectives: We explored whether the amount and type (animal or vegetable) of protein intake were associated with 5-y change in mid-thigh muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) …

The world population is aging, which increases the prevalence of physical limitation and chronic diseases. A major cause of these physical limitation and chronic diseases is a low muscle mass (sarcopenia) and/or a high fat mass (obesity). Coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, called sarcopenic obesity, …

Background: All countries are affected by one or more forms of malnutrition. 90 Percent of chronically malnourished children in developing countries live in Africa and Asia. India accounts for more than three in ten stunted children worldwide. Recent evidence shows that one in four children in India …

Dit onderzoek richt zich op het ervaren effect van het project Unihockey “WIR macht stark” op de zelfacceptatie van kinderen en jongeren, die aan het project deelnemen. Het project wordt opgestart met het doel de zelfacceptatie van kinderen en jongeren te versterken, om latere psychische problemen of …

Het doel van deze scriptie is om te achterhalen wat het effect is van het Low Carb-High Fat (LCHF) dieet op geassocieerde ziekten en welke rol het darmmicrobioom hierin speelt. Het darmmicrobioom heeft een zeer directe invloed op de homeostase van de mens en is daarbij van belang voor optimale gezondheid. …

As the population is aging rapidly, there is a strong increase in the number of individuals with chronic disease and physical limitations. The decrease in skeletal muscle mass and function (sarcopenia) and the increase in fat mass (obesity) are important contributors to the development of physical limitations, …
