Association Between the Redox State of Human Serum Albumin and Exercise Capacity in Patients With Cardiac Disease. Am J Cardiol 2023; 189:56-60.

Abstract
The redox state of human serum albumin (HSA) is reported to be an oxidative stress biomarker; however, its clinical use in cardiac disease has not yet been examined. This study aimed to investigate the relation between the redox state of HSA and exercise capacity, which is a robust prognostic factor, in patients with cardiovascular disease. This cross-sectional study included outpatients with cardiac disease. Exercise capacity was assessed by peak oxygen consumption (peakVO2) measured using symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The high-performance liquid chromatography postcolumn bromocresol green method was used to part HSA into human nonmercaptalbumin (oxidized form) and human mercaptalbumin (HMA, reduced form). The fraction of human mercaptalbumin found in HSA (f[HMA]) was calculated as an indicator of the redox state of HSA. The association between peakVO2 and f(HMA) was examined using the Spearman correlation coefficient and multivariate linear regression analysis. A total of 70 patients were included (median age 76 years; 44 men; median peakVO2 15.5 ml/kg/min). The f(HMA) was positively correlated with peakVO2 (r = 0.38, p <0.01). Even after controlling for potential confounders, this association remained in the multivariate linear regression analysis (standardized beta = 0.24, p <0.05). We found a positive association between f(HMA) and peakVO2, independent of potential confounders in patients with cardiac disease, suggesting that f(HMA) may be a novel biomarker related to exercise capacity in cardiac disease. Longitudinal studies are required to further examine the prognostic capability of f(HMA), the responsiveness to clinical intervention, and the association between f(HMA) and cardiac disease.

Van Grootven B, van Achterberg T. Prediction models for functional status in community dwelling older adults: a systematic review. BMC Geriatr 2022; 22:465. [PMID: 35637447 PMCID: PMC9150308 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-022-03156-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Disability poses a burden for older persons, and is associated with poor outcomes and high societal costs. Prediction models could potentially identify persons who are at risk for disability. An up to date review of such models is missing. Objective To identify models developed for the prediction of functional status in community dwelling older persons. Methods A systematic review was performed including studies of older persons that developed and/or validated prediction models for the outcome functional status. Medline and EMBASE were searched, and reference lists and prospective citations were screened for additional references. Risk of bias was assessed using the PROBAST-tool. The performance of models was described and summarized, and the use of predictors was collated using the bag-of-words text mining procedure. Results Forty-three studies were included and reported 167 evaluations of prediction models. The median c-statistic values for the multivariable development models ranged between 0.65 and 0.76 (minimum = 0.58, maximum = 0.90), and were consistently higher than the values of the validation models for which median c-statistic values ranged between 0.6 and 0.68 (minimum = 0.50, maximum = 0.81). A total of 559 predictors were used in the models. The five predictors most frequently used were gait speed (n = 47), age (n = 38), cognition (n = 27), frailty (n = 24), and gender (n = 22). Conclusions No model can be recommended for implementation in practice. However, frailty models appear to be the most promising, because frailty components (e.g. gait speed) and frailty indexes demonstrated good to excellent predictive performance. However, the risk of study bias was high. Substantial improvements can be made in the methodology.

Predictive Validity of Motor Fitness and Flexibility Tests in Adults and Older Adults: A Systematic Review. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11020328. [PMID: 35054020 PMCID: PMC8779466 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11020328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2021] [Revised: 12/17/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Motor fitness and flexibility have been linked to several health issues. We aimed to investigate the predictive validity of motor fitness and flexibility tests in relation to health outcomes in adults and older adults. Web of Science and PubMed databases were screened for studies published from inception to November 2020. Two authors systematically searched, evaluated, and extracted data from identified original studies and systematic reviews/meta-analysis. Three levels of evidence were constructed: strong, moderate, and limited/inconclusive evidence. In total, 1182 studies were identified, and 70 studies and 6 systematic reviews/meta-analysis were summarized. Strong evidence indicated that (i) slower gait speed predicts falls and institutionalization/hospitalization in adults over 60 years old, cognitive decline/impairment over 55 years old, mobility disability over 50 years old, disability in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) over 54 years old, cardiovascular disease risk over 45 years old, and all-cause mortality over 35 years old; (ii) impaired balance predicts falls and disability in IADL/mobility disability in adults over 40 years old and all-cause mortality over 53 years old; (iii) worse timed up&go test (TUG) predicts falls and fear of falling over 40 years old. Evidence supports that slower gait speed, impaired balance, and worse TUG performance are significantly associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes in adults.

How gait influences frailty models and health-related outcomes in clinical-based and population-based studies: a systematic review. J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2021; 12:274-297. [PMID: 33590975 PMCID: PMC8061366 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.12667] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 10/30/2020] [Accepted: 12/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Aging is often associated with a decline in physical function that eventually leads to loss of autonomy in activities of daily living (ADL). Walking is a very common ADL, important for main determinants of quality of life in older age, and it requires the integration of many physiological systems. Gait speed has been described as the 'sixth vital sign' because it is a core indicator of health and function in aging and disease. We reviewed original studies up to June 2020 that assessed frailty in both longitudinal and cross-sectional observational studies, paying particular attention to how gait is measured in older population and how the gait parameter adopted may influence the estimated frailty models and the health-related outcomes of the various studies (i.e. clinical, cognitive, physical, and nutritional outcomes). Eighty-five studies met the search strategy and were included in the present systematic review. According to the frailty tools, more than 60% of the studies used the physical phenotype model proposed by Fried and colleagues, while one-third referred to multi-domain indexes or models and only 5% referred to other single-domain frailty models (social or cognitive). The great heterogeneity observed in gait measurements and protocols limited the possibility to directly compare the results of the studies and it could represent an important issue causing variability in the different outcome measures in both clinical-and population-based settings. Gait appeared to be an indicator of health and function also in frail older adults, and different gait parameters appeared to predict adverse health-related outcomes in clinical, cognitive, and physical domains and, to a lesser extent, in nutritional domain. Gait has the potential to elucidate the common basic mechanisms of cognitive and motor decline. Advances in technology may extend the validity of gait in different clinical settings also in frail older adults, and technology-based assessment should be encouraged. Combining various gait parameters may enhance frailty prediction and classification of different frailty phenotypes.
