- Influence of peripheral arterial disease on daily living activities in elderly women(2016) CUCATO, Gabriel Grizzo; RITTI-DIAS, Raphael Mendes; FRANCO, Fabio Gazelato de Mello; MATTOS, Luciana Diniz Nagem Janot de; CENDOROGLO, Maysa Seabra; WOLOSKER, Nelson; NASRI, Fabio; COSTA, Maria Luiza Monteiro; CARVALHO, Jose Antonio Maluf deAging has been associated with decreases in physical and cognitive functions. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) has been associated with further impairments in these functions, especially in women. However, no detailed information is available indicating whether PAD leads to further impairment in these functions in elderly women. Thus, the aims of this study were 1) to compare the capacity to perform daily living activities between elderly women with and without PAD and 2) to identify the factors related with the performance in daily activities. Twenty-seven elderly women with PAD and 22 elderly non-PAD women were surveyed in a geriatric hospital. Women aged >= 65 years and with no signal of dementia were included. PAD was identified by the ankle-brachial index <= 0.90, whereas elderly non-PAD women presented ankle-brachial index >1.0. Patients were interviewed to obtain information regarding basic (Katz questionnaire) and instrumental daily living activities (Lawton-Brody scale) and performed the mini-mental state examination, handgrip strength test, and timed up and go tests. PAD and non-PAD women had similar age, clinical characteristics, handgrip strength test, and cognitive function (P > 0.05). The capacity to perform basic and instrumental daily living activities was similar between PAD and non-PAD women (P > 0.05). In PAD and non-PAD, the instrumental daily living activities were significantly correlated with cognitive function (r = 0.44, P < 0.05 and r = 0.74 and P < 0.05, respectively). PAD elderly women present similar capacity to perform basic and instrumental daily activities than non-PAD women. In addition, in both groups, the capacity to perform instrumental daily activities was related with cognitive function.
- Impact of obesity on walking capacity and cardiovascular parameters in patients with peripheral artery disease: A cross-sectional study(2020) KANEGUSUKU, Helcio; CUCATO, Gabriel G.; DOMICIANO, Romulo M.; LONGANO, Paulo; PUECH-LEAO, Pedro; WOLOSKER, Nelson; RITTI-DIAS, Raphael M.; CORREIA, Marilia A.Background: Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) present a high prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome, as well as diseases related to cardiovascular dysfunction. However, whether obesity influences walking capacity and cardiovascular function in patients with PAD is poorly understood. Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze the impact of obesity on walking capacity and cardiovascular parameters in patients with PAD. Design: This is a cross-sectional study. Setting: Patients were recruited from public hospitals of Sao Paulo. Methods: One-hundred two patients with PAD and symptoms of intermittent claudication were recruited and divided into 2 groups according to their body mass index: normal weight (<25 kg/m(2)) and overweight/obese ($25 kg/m(2)). Patients were submitted to objective (6-minute walk test) and subjective measurements of walking capacity (Walking Impairment Questionnaire). In addition, cardiovascular parameters (office blood pressure, resting heart rate, arterial stiffness, vascular function, and heart rate variability) were obtained. Results: The speed domain of the Walking Impairment Questionnaire was lower in the overweight/obese group compared to the normal weight group (32 +/- 20 vs 21 +/- 16, respectively, P < .01). Resting heart rate was higher in overweight/obese patients (61 +/- 10 vs 70 +/- 12, respectively, P < .01). However, no other walking capacity or cardiovascular parameter variables were related to obesity in patients with PAD. Conclusion: Obesity influences resting heart rate and walking speed in patients with PAD.
