The association among three aspects of physical @entity410 and XXXX in a Korean elderly population.

@entity1 @entity410 @entity1674 @entity209 @entity285 @entity413 @entity165
BACKGROUND: The purpose of current study is to evaluate the association between physical @entity410 level and the prevalence of @entity209 ( @entity209 ) in a Korean elderly population. METHODS: A cross-sectional study measuring physical @entity410 and components of @entity209 in a health promotion center of a general hospital for routine health check-ups. A total of 227 subjects  >60  years old agreed to participate. A lifestyle questionnaire that included cigarette smoking, @entity285 consumption, and physical activity was checked. Body weight, height, blood pressure, fasting @entity413 , total @entity165 , @entity1674 , high density lipoprotein- @entity165 , low density lipoprotein- @entity165 , C-reactive protein, and glycated hemoglobin were measured. Muscular strength was assessed by measuring grasping power. Muscular endurance was evaluated using a sit-up test. Cardiopulmonary @entity410 was assessed via the Tecumseh step test (measuring hear rates at 1  min post-exercise). RESULTS: The highest tertile muscular endurance group (sit-ups  >15 in @entity1 ,  >10 in @entity1 ) was 0.37 times less likely to have @entity209 [95  % confidence interval (CI) 0.17-0.84; p  =  0.036] compared to that in the lowest tertile group (<11 in @entity1 , 0 in @entity1 ), and the highest tertile in the cardiopulmonary @entity410 group (heart rate at rest  >91/min in @entity1 ,  >92/min in @entity1 ) was 2.81 times more likely to have @entity209 (95  % CI 1.27-6.18; p  =  0.038) compared to that in the lowest tertile group (<81/min in @entity1 ,  <80/min in @entity1 ). CONCLUSIONS: Cardiopulmonary @entity410 and muscular endurance were related to @entity209 in a Korean elderly population after adjusting for age, sex, current smoker, current @entity285 drinking, and physical activity. Older adults should be encouraged to increase their cardiopulmonary @entity410 and muscular endurance.
