RESUMO
Abstract The aim was to investigate the longitudinal association between physical frailty and change in the profile of limitation to perform basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL) and mortality in a 10-year period in Brazilian community-dwelling older people. A longitudinal study was conducted with data from the Frailty in Brazilian Older People (FIBRA) study, 2009-2019. Physical frailty was categorized into vulnerability (pre-frail and frail) and robustness (non-frail). The generalized estimating equation and the Cox proportional hazards models were used in the data analysis. Out of 200 older people evaluated in 2009 (moment 1), 139 were located in 2019 (moment 2). Of these, 102 were interviewed and 37 deaths were recorded. The chance of vulnerable older people at moment 1 being dependent on performing BADL at moment 2 was 4.19-fold the chance of robust older people. For IADL, the chance of vulnerable older people at moment 1 being dependent at moment 2 was 3.12-fold the chance of robust older people. Cox's analysis showed that the risk of death among vulnerable older people was 2.50-fold that among robust older people. The results reinforce the importance of monitoring and early intervention to prevent frailty, and the limitation to performing activities of daily living and death among Brazilian older people.
Resumo O objetivo foi investigar a associação longitudinal entre fragilidade física e mudança no perfil de limitação para realizar as atividades básicas e instrumentais de vida diária (ABVD e AIVD) e mortalidade em 10 anos em idosos comunitários brasileiros. Um estudo longitudinal foi conduzido com dados do Estudo da Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros (FIBRA), 2009-2019. A fragilidade física foi categorizada em vulnerabilidade (pré-frágil e frágil) e robustez (não frágil). Modelos de equação de estimação generalizada e de riscos proporcionais de Cox foram usados na análise dos dados. Dos 200 idosos avaliados em 2009 (momento 1), 139 foram localizados em 2019 (momento 2). Destes, 102 foram entrevistados e 37 óbitos foram registrados. A chance dos idosos vulneráveis no momento 1 serem dependentes nas ABVD no momento 2 foi de 4,19 vezes a chance dos idosos robustos. Para as AIVD, a chance dos idosos vulneráveis no momento 1 serem dependentes no momento 2 foi de 3,12 vezes a chance dos idosos robustos. A análise de Cox mostrou que o risco de morte entre os idosos vulneráveis foi 2,50 vezes o risco dos idosos robustos. Os resultados reforçam a importância do acompanhamento e intervenção precoce para prevenir a fragilidade, e a limitação para realização das atividades de vida diária e morte em idosos brasileiros.

The objective is to investigate the mediating roles of living alone and personal network in the relationship between physical frailty and activities of daily living (ADL) limitations among older adults. 2271 individuals were classified as vulnerable (pre-frail or frail) or robust. Mediating variables were living alone and personal network. Katz Index and Lawton-Brody scale were used to assess ADL. Mediating effects were analyzed with beta coefficients from linear regression models using the bootstrapping method. Mediation analysis showed significant mediating effects of living alone (ß = .011; 95% CI = .004; .018) and personal network (ß = .005; 95% CI = .001; .010) on the relationship between physical frailty and basic ADL limitations. Mediation effects of living alone and personal network on the relationship between physical frailty and instrumental ADL limitations were ß = -.074 (95% CI=-.101; -.046) and ß = -.044 (95% CI = -.076; -.020), respectively. Physically vulnerable older adults who lived alone or had poor personal network were more dependent on basic and instrumental ADL.

BACKGROUND: Frailty is a predictor of negative health outcomes in older adults. The physical frailty phenotype is an often used form for its operationalization. Some authors have pointed out limitations regarding the unidimensionality of the physical phenotype, introducing other dimensions in the approach to frailty. This study aimed to create a multidimensional model to evaluate frailty in older Brazilian adults and to compare the dimensions of the model created among the categories of the physical frailty phenotype. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from 3569 participants (73.7 ± 6.6 years) from a multicenter and multidisciplinary survey (FIBRA-BR). A three-dimensional model was developed: physical dimension (poor self-rated health, vision impairment, hearing impairment, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and sleeping disorder), social dimension (living alone, not having someone who could help when needed, not visiting others, and not receiving visitors), and psychological dimension (depressive symptoms, concern about falls, feelings of sadness, and memory problems). The five criteria of the phenotype created by Fried and colleagues were used to evaluate the physical frailty phenotype. The proposed multidimensional frailty model was analyzed using factorial analysis. Pearson's chi-square test was used to analyze the associations between each variable of the multidimensional frailty model and the physical phenotype categories. Analysis of variance compared the multidimensional dimensions scores among the three categories of the physical frailty phenotype. RESULTS: The factorial analysis confirmed a model with three factors, composed of 12 variables, which explained 38.6% of the variability of the model data. The self-rated health variable was transferred to the psychological dimension and living alone variable to the physical dimension. The vision impairment and hearing impairment variables were dropped from the physical dimension. The variables significantly associated with the physical phenotype were self-rated health, urinary incontinence, visiting others, receiving visitors, depressive symptoms, concern about falls, feelings of sadness, and memory problems. A statistically significant difference in mean scores for physical, social, and psychological dimensions among three physical phenotype categories was observed (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These results confirm the applicability of our frailty model and suggest the need for a multidimensional approach to providing appropriate and comprehensive care for older adults.

OBJETIVO: Identificar a presença de sintomas depressivos e sua associação com a autopercepção de saúde em idosos residentes em instituições de longa permanência. METODOLOGIA: Estudo transversal que avaliou idosos institucionalizados após triagem realizada pelo miniexame do estado mental. Aplicaram-se questionários padronizados para a coleta de variáveis sociodemográficas, sintomas depressivos e autopercepção de saúde. Análise estatística descritiva por meio de medidas de tendência central e dispersão foram realizadas para caracterização da amostra. Para associação entre as variáveis, realizou-se análise de regressão multinomial simples. Em todos os testes, considerou-se o valor de alfa igual a 0,05. RESULTADOS: Avaliaram-se 127 idosos residentes em 47 instituições de longa permanência. Dentre aqueles que apresentaram sintomas depressivos, 32,3% foram caracterizados como leves e 13,4% com sintomas graves. Em relação à autopercepção de saúde, 46,5% consideraram sua saúde ruim/muito ruim. Na análise da associação entre sintomas depressivos leves e graves e autopercepção de saúde, observou-se significancia estatística de p = 0,004 e p = 0,001, respectivamente. CONCLUSÕES: Os resultados deste estudo sugerem a necessidade de atenção ao cuidado com os idosos institucionalizados que apresentam sintomas depressivos e seu impacto na autopercepção negativa da saúde.
OBJECTIVE: To identify the presence of depressive symptoms and its association with self-rated health among older adults living in Long-term Care Facilities. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study in which older adults living in LTCF were screened by using the Mental State Mini Exam. Standard questionnaires were used to collect the following data: 1) sociodemographic variables, 2) depressive symptoms, and 3) self-rated health. The descriptive statistical analysis by measures of central tendency and dispersion was performed to characterize the sample. The multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to associate the variables. In all tests, the alpha value of 0.05 was considered. RESULTS: A total of 127 older adults living in 47 long-term care facilities were evaluated. Among those who presented depressive symptoms, 32.3% were classified as having mild symptoms and 13.4% had severe symptoms. Regarding self-rated health, 46.5% considered it poor/very poor. In the analysis of the association between mild and severe depressive symptoms and self-rated health, statistical significance (p = 0.004 and p = 0.001, respectively) was found. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that more attention should be directed to older adults living in LTCF who have symptoms of depression and to their impacts on the negative self-rated health.

The role of Ann Arbor staging in determining treatment intensity after achieving a negative positron emission tomography (PET) has not been established in classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). Patients with stage I-IV cHL, received three cycles of ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, dacarbazine) and an interim PET scan (PET3). PET3-negative patients received no further therapy. PET3-positive patients received three additional cycles of ABVD plus involved-field radiation therapy or salvage chemotherapy, if refractory to ABVD, and were re-evaluated by PET scan (PET6). Study endpoints were 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. Two hundred and thirty-nine patients with early-stage and 138 with advanced-stage were evaluable. Overall, 260 patients (70%) were PET3-negative and had higher 3-year PFS (90% vs. 65%; P < 0·0001) and OS (98% vs. 92%; P = 0·007) rates than PET3-positive patients. All PET3-negative patients, regardless of disease stage at diagnosis, achieved similarly good PFS (90-91%; P = 0·76) and OS (97-99%). The only independent prognostic factor for PFS was PET3-negativity (Hazard ratio 3·8; 95% confidence interval 2·4-6·3; P < 0·0001). This study suggests that cHL patients who achieve a negative PET3 following ABVD have an excellent outcome, regardless of stage at diagnosis. An appropriately powered, phase III trial will be necessary to confirm these findings.

AbstractIntroduction The health locus of control is defined as the perception of individuals in relation to whom they believe to be responsible for their health condition, including low back pain.Objective To identify whether individuals suffering from chronic low back pain in active physical therapy treatment believe they are responsible for their own condition.Material and methods Cross-sectional study involving 28 patients under active physical therapy treatment for non-specific chronic low back pain. Sociodemographic data and low back characteristics — including disability and pain severity — were collected. The Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) scale was used to assess the health locus of control.Results Participants undergoing active low back pain treatment presented a mean (SD) of 26 points (11.40) in a 0–100 point scale for disability and 6.39 points (2.24) on a 0–10 scale for pain. In relation to the health locus of control, the means (SD) for internal, external and chance subscales were, respectively: 29.32 (3.98), 24.75 (3.58), and 13.71 (6.67). 82.1% of the participants presented higher rates for internal locus of control.Conclusion Patients undergoing active treatment for chronic low back pain believe they are responsible for their own condition. Further longitudinal studies may determine whether active treatments affect the beliefs of low back pain patients.

RESUMO
INTRODUÇÃO: O risco de recidiva após a entorse de tornozelo pode estar associado com modificações da estabilidade postural e do recrutamento muscular das articulações do quadril e do tornozelo. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar o pico de ativação muscular do glúteo máximo durante a marcha em esteira, em mulheres, comparando voluntárias com história de entorse grau II de tornozelo, com um grupo de voluntárias sem história de entorse. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Participaram 26 mulheres, jovens, sendo 13 voluntárias com história de entorse unilateral de tornozelo e 13 sem história de entorse. A ativação do músculo glúteo máximo foi avaliada por meio do eletromiógrafo de superfície EMG System do Brasil durante a marcha em esteira. RESULTADOS: No grupo com história de entorse não houve diferença significativa na medida percentual de ativação normalizada do glúteo máximo durante a marcha, quando comparou-se membro acometido e não acometido (p > 0,57). No grupo sem história de entorse houve diferença significativa entre os membros direito e esquerdo na medida percentual de ativação normalizada do glúteo máximo durante a marcha (p = 0,01). Quando comparados os grupos, não houve diferença significativa entre membro acometido e membros direito e esquerdo do grupo sem história de entorse (p > 0,51). CONCLUSÃO: Pela ausência de diferença entre os grupos pode-se supor que existam fatores adaptativos, como musculares, neuromusculares e dominância dos membros, que determinam uma adaptação após a entorse do tornozelo, possibilitando uma atividade da marcha adequada.
INTRODUCTION: The return risk, after ankle sprain, can be associated with modifications of the postural stability and the muscular strength of the hip and the ankle. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the maximum gluteus activation during the walk on the treadmill, in women, comparing volunteers with second degree of ankle sprain history, with a group of volunteers with no sprain history. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six young women were selected for the study, being 13 individuals with unilateral ankle sprain history and another 13 with no sprain history. The maximum gluteus activation was evaluated by the electromyography of surface (EMG), during the walk on the treadmill. RESULTS: On the group with sprain history there was not any significant difference on the measure of normal activation of the maximum gluteus during the walk, when compared unstable member and no unstable member (p > 0,57). However, on the group with no sprain history there was a significant difference between left and right members on the measure of normal activation of the maximum gluteus during the walk (p = 0,01). When comparing both groups, there was not any significant difference between unstable member and the others two members of the no sprain history group (p > 051). CONCLUSION: The results can be suggested that exist muscular, neuromuscular and sideways factors that can be determinate an adaptation after the ankle sprain, enabling a convenient walk activity.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determinate the correlation between force and displacement during passive anteroposterior mobilization of the talus and the effect of this treatment technique on ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM). METHODS: This is an exploratory, methodological study. Maitland grades III and IV mobilization were applied on the right ankle of 25 healthy subjects (mean age +/- standard deviation, 25.08 +/- 3.01 years) by 2 randomized raters (A and B). Applied forces were measured using a small force plate and displayed for the rater on a computer monitor. Linear displacement of the ankle joint was quantified by a motion analysis system. Synchronization of these 2 systems was obtained by software. Dorsiflexion active ROM, before and after mobilization, was assessed using a biplane goniometer. Statistical analysis was performed using the Pearson correlation coefficient for force and displacement variables and the paired t test to compare dorsiflexion ROM mean values. RESULTS: A fair positive correlation was found between force range and displacement (r = 0.370; P = .049, 1-tailed), and a fair negative correlation was found between minimum forces and displacement (r = 0.404; P = .035, 1-tailed), only for rater A data. Significant increase in dorsiflexion was found in the right ankle (P = .035), comparing ROM before and after mobilization, which did not occur in the left ankle. CONCLUSIONS: These data do not support a linear force-displacement relationship during Maitland grades III and IV passive joint mobilization, although they confirmed an increase in ankle dorsiflexion ROM immediately after joint mobilization. The use of visual feedback may increase interrater reliability of forces applied during ankle joint mobilization.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of the force applied during the Maitland grade III anteroposterior joint mobilization of the talus and its effect on dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM). METHODS: Two examiners performed measurements of dorsiflexion ROM on both ankles of healthy volunteers using a universal goniometer. The anteroposterior talus mobilization was first applied by examiner A for 30 seconds. Examiner B then repeated the same procedure. A platform was placed under the volunteer's leg to register the forces obtained during mobilization. After the procedure, examiner A assessed the ankle dorsiflexion. RESULTS: The results showed consistency regarding maximal forces applied throughout the 30 seconds of mobilization as well as low consistency upon the minimal forces. A significant increase in dorsiflexion ROM of the ankle was found immediately after joint mobilization. CONCLUSIONS: The results of the present study have shown consistent maximal forces applied by one examiner and inconsistent minimal forces during an ankle mobilization in healthy volunteers when the same examiner was compared. Moreover, the applied force was able to increase dorsiflexion ROM after the Maitland grade III anteroposterior mobilization of the talus.

Introdução: A dor patelofemoral, também denominada dor anterior do joelho está presente em 25% da população, onde 36% são adolescentes e com maior prevalência no sexo feminino e atletas. Objetivo: Verificar a associação entre a presença de retropé varo a partir da posição neutra da subtalar e a dor patelofemoral. Casuística e Métodos: Foram recrutados 10 voluntários com dor patelofemoral unilateral ou bilateral. Os voluntários foram submetidos à avaliação do alinhamento do retropé a partir da posição neutra da subtalar. Para isso, os voluntários foram posicionados em decúbito ventral, com o pé pendente para fora da mesa. A interseção das retas que bissectam a perna e o calcâneo foram medidas através de um goniômetro universal. O teste de Fisher foi utilizado para verificar a associação entre dor patelofemoral e varismo de retropé maior ou igual ou menor que 8 graus. Resultados: Os resultados do presente estudo demonstraram que todos os membros com grau de retropé maior que 8 (75%) apresentavam dor, totalizando 15 joelhos. Já os joelhos avaliados com retropé menor ou igual a 8; 2 (10%) apresentavam dor e 3 (15%) não apresentaram dor. Associação estatisticamente significativa entre o grau de retropé e a presença de dor foram encontrados ( p= 0,009). Discussão: O varismo de retropé leva a pronação excessiva da subtalar associada à rotação interna da tíbia com consequente alteração do alinhamento do membro inferior e dor patelofemoral. Conclusão: Os resultados desse estudo sugerem que existe a associação entre o retropé varo e a dor patelofemoral.
Patellofemoral pain, also called anterior knee pain, is present in 25% of the population with 36% of them being adolescents, and with a higher prevalence among females and athletes. Objective: To assess the association between the presence of rear-foot varus, from the subtalar neutral position, and patellofemoral pain. Patients and Methods: Ten volunteers with unilateral or bilateral patellofemoral pain were assessed. The volunteers were submitted to the evaluation of rear-foot alignment from the subtalar neutral position. In order to do so, the volunteers were positioned in the ventral decubitus position, with the foot hanging parallel to the table. The angles formed by the straight lines that divide the legs and the calcanei were measured through a universal goniometer. Fisher test was used to assess the association between patellofemoral pain and rear-foot varus is greater than or equal to or is less than 8o. Results: The results of this study showed that all limbs with rear-foot varus is greater than 8o (75%) presented pain, totaling 15 knees. Of the knees that presented rear-foot varus is less than or equal to 8,2 (10%) presented pain and 3 (15%) did not. A statistically significant association between the degree of rear-foot varus and pain was demonstrated (p= 0.009). Discussion: Rear-foot varus causes an excessive pronation of the subtalar joint associated to the internal rotation of the tibia, with a consequent alignment alteration of the lower limb and patellofemoral pain. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that there is an association between the presence of rear-foot varus and patellofemoral pain.
