  • Moderate alcohol consumption on the risk of stroke in the Million Veteran Program

    Open AccessRebecca J Song, Martin G Larson et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    We observed a lower risk of ischemic stroke, but not hemorrhagic stroke with moderate alcohol consumption and did not observe substantial differences in risk by beverage preference among a sample of U.S. Veterans. Healthy user bias of moderate alcohol consumption may be driving some of the observed protective association

  • Dose-response associations between accelerometry measured physical activity and sedentary time and all cause mortality

  • Social Networks and Inflammatory Markers in the Framingham Heart Study

    Open AccessEric B Loucks, Lisa M Sullivan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Biosocial Science2006

    Lack of social integration predicts coronary heart disease mortality in prospective studies; however, the biological pathways that may be responsible are poorly understood. The specific aims of this study were to examine whether social networks are associated with serum concentrations of the inflammatory markers interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and monocyte chemoattractant protein…

  • Discrepancies between self-reported and observed physical function in the elderly

  • Impact of Reduced Heart Rate Variability on Risk for Cardiac Events

    Hisako Tsuji, Martin G Larson et al.ARTICLECirculation1996

    Background Although heart rate variability (HRV) is altered in a variety of pathological conditions, the association of reduced HRV with risk for new cardiac events has not been studied in a large community-based population. Methods and Results The first 2 hours of ambulatory ECG recordings obtained on subjects of the Framingham Heart Study who were free of clinically apparent coronary heart disease or congestive heart failure were reprocessed to…

  • Objectively measuring physical ability in elderly persons

    Lawren H Daltroy, C B Phillips et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1995References: 1

    The Physical Capacity Evaluation, a performance measure of functional capabilities comprised of 13 tasks simulating those used in activities of daily living, was tested on 289 community-dwelling elderly people and compared against a widely used self-report measure of function, the Health Assessment Questionnaire. Factor analysis identified one dominant component in each instrument. Internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha) was .90 for b…

  • Comparative Measurement Sensitivity of Short and Longer Health Status Instruments

    Jeffrey N Katz, Martin G Larson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1992

    Short measures of health status are used increasingly in health services research, yet their sensitivities to clinical change have not been compared with longer, established instruments. In this study, 5 health status measures were administered preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively to 54 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. These instruments included the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP)--an established, long measure--and 4 short forms: …

  • Validation of a surveillance case definition of carpal tunnel syndrome

    J N Katz, Martin G Larson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1991Cited by: 6References: 20

    The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has proposed a surveillance case definition for work-related carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The case definition requires the presence of median nerve symptoms; one or more occupational risk factors; and objective evidence of CTS including one of three physical examination findings or nerve conduction tests diagnostic of CTS. We evaluated the performance of the NIOSH case definition,…

  • Comparisons of Five Health Status Instruments for Orthopedic Evaluation

    Matthew H Liang, Anne H Fossel et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1990

    This study represents a long-term effort to find optimal techniques for evaluating outcome in patients who have undergone total joint arthroplasty. Sensitivity of five health status questionnaires was studied in a longitudinal evaluation of orthopedic surgery. The questionnaires (Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales [AIMS], Functional Status Index [FSI], Health Assessment Questionnaire [HAQ], Index of Well Being [IWB], and Sickness Impact Profile …

  • Effects of Reducing Physical Therapy Services on Outcomes in Total Joint Arthroplasty

    Matthew H Liang, Karen E Cullen et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1987

    A natural experiment provided an opportunity to determine whether physical therapy (PT) service reduction would affect the outcomes of total joint arthroplasty. A sample of 200 patients with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis who underwent total hip or total knee replacement during successive reduction of services was randomly selected. The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients in each period were similar. Despite large differe…
