Misreporting of total energy intake in older men and women
Article Abstract:
Misreporting of total energy intake for older people is not unusual in dietary studies and a study has been carried out to examine misreporting of total energy intake by comparing self-reported food intake, using 3-day food diaries, to energy expenditure as measured with the doubly labeled water technique. Few studies, relatively, have been carried out in older persons, male and female, who may be vulnerable to obesity and associated health risks. Potential predictors of misreporting were to be identified by the study. It was found that men and women in general underreported total energy intake and underreporting correlated with waist circumference, fat mass and body mass index.

Higher systemic arterial compliance is associated with greater exercise time and lower blood pressure in a young older population
Article Abstract:
Higher systemic arterial compliance is found with lower blood pressure and greater exercise time in a healthy young older population based on a recent cross sectional survey study that looked at the relationship between systemic arterial compliance (SAC) and time to cessation of exercise in a standard treadmill exercise test. In the study were 43 subjects within 7 years of age 67, of whom 24 were men. Men exhibited greater exercise reserve and higher SAC. SAC correlated with blood pressure and height, and an inverse relationship was found between SAC and systolic blood pressure.

Predicting 10-year care requirement for older people with suspected Alzheimer's disease
Article Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease puts a substantial burden on the elderly, and interventions that slow progression may affect cummunity survival and health care costs. A Markov model was derived using grade of membership techniques to study factors related to this situation. Data from 3,254 patients were studied.
