Recently, handgrip, knee extensor and respiratory muscle strength were proposed as candidate biomarkers to assess the neuromuscular function of vitality capacity in older persons. This umbrella review...
The databases PubMed, Web of Science and Embase were systematically screened for systematic reviews and meta-analyses reporting on handgrip, knee extensor or respiratory muscle strength assessments, r...
Twenty-seven systematic reviews were included in this study. Some of the identified reviews described the psychometric properties of the assessment tools. We found five assessment tools that can be us...
The handheld dynamometer for hand grip strength, the dynamometer for knee extensor strength, sniff nasal inspiratory pressure, MIP and MEP were identified. Therefore, these assessments could be used t...
There is a lack of consensus about the operationalization of vitality, which is one of the intrinsic capacity (IC) domains. In particular, no study has investigated whether cardiorespiratory fitness (...
To examine whether vitality is the upstream domain of IC, and establish the validity of CRF as a vitality indicator, using maximal oxygen consumption (VO...
561 older adults from a longitudinal cohort study were included. Variables under consideration were VO...
The mean age of the participants was 75.5 years. The path model in which vitality was measured by VO...
Vitality is the upstream domain of IC. VO...
Impaired % predicted value forced vital capacity (% FVC) is related to higher all-cause mortality in aged adults, and strong muscle force may improve this relationship. A muscle disease, sarcopenia, c...
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of high interval training (HIIT) under mask on forced vital capacity in football players. Fourteen male football players (age 20 ± 2 years) were ...
Sarcopenia and intrinsic capacity (IC) declines pose significant challenges to healthy aging, particularly in the rapidly growing octogenarian population. This study aimed to elucidate the relationshi...
Data from four Taiwanese cohorts were analyzed. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria (algorithm 1: categorized as either having possible sarcop...
Among 599 octogenarians (median age 82.2 years, 54.8% male), the prevalence of possible sarcopenia (algorithm 1) was 64.6%. When adopting algorithm 2, the prevalence of possible sarcopenia and sarcope...
This study underscores the robust association between sarcopenia and declines in vitality and cognition among octogenarians, highlighting the importance of sarcopenia screening and management in promo...
The results of a quantitative analysis of computed tomography (CT) of interstitial lung disease (ILD) using a computer-aided detection (CAD) technique were correlated with the results of pulmonary fun...
To evaluate the correlation between a quantitative analysis of CT of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD) including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-IPF, which can manif...
A total of 73 patients (46 patients with IPF and 27 patients with non-IPF) were included in this study. Associations between the quantitative analysis of CT and the %VC using a CAD software program we...
A multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the total extent of interstitial pneumonia on CT was a significant indicator of a decreased VC (...
A quantitative analysis of CT of PF-ILD using a CAD software program could be useful for predicting a decreased VC....
Cryopreservation of human spermatozoa is a necessity for males suffering from infertility who cannot produce fresh semen for insemination. However, current ART cryopreservation protocols are associate...
Forced vital capacity (FVC) is routinely used to quantify the severity and identify the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Although less commonly used, lung transfer of carbon monoxid...
Aiming at studying how FVC behaves in relation to TLCO, we analysed cross-sectional data from 430 IPF patients, of which 221 had at least 2 assessments (performed 2.4 ± 1.9 years apart) available for ...
The correlation between FVC and TLCO (%predicted) was weak (R...
In IPF, a "normal" FVC should be viewed with caution as it is most often associated with an "abnormal" TLCO, a parameter that is strongly correlated with the morphological extent of the disease. Only ...
The percent-predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%) in the pulmonary function test (PFT) is generally used to evaluate the respiratory function in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The slow vital ca...
This prospective study included patients with bulbar-involved ALS who visited the Peking University Third Hospital between October 2020 and November 2021. They underwent comprehensive clinical assessm...
A total of 59 participants were initially enrolled, and 51 of them were included in the final analysis. In patients with bulbar-involved ALS, the SVC% (73.82 ± 21.95%) was significantly higher (...
Our prospective study found that the SVC% was significantly higher and more reflective of actual respiratory function than the FVC% in patients with bulbar-involved ALS. Furthermore, the severity of d...
Despite its importance in clinical practice, clinical guideline pathway selection and as an outcome in clinical trials, little work has been undertaken to understand the agreement between expected lun...
We performed a retrospective analysis on preoperative and postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DL...
Scatter plots for effort-dependent measures suggested the tendency for underprediction (observed values were higher than predicted) for FEV1 and FVC but good agreement for DL...
Our study demonstrated that effort-dependent parameters of lung function including FEV1 and FVC tends to overestimate the amount of lung function loss after anatomic lung resection, clinicians should ...
