Impact of Physical Exercise on Hospitalized Older Adults Malnourished or at Risk, With Oral Nutritional Support

The aim of this research is to analyze whether nutritional intervention combined with a multicomponent physical training program based on strength, balance, and aerobic exercises can prevent disability caused during hospitalization in individuals aged 75 years or older admitted for medical conditions, thereby improving functional and cognitive capacity. To achieve this objective, we will conduct a randomized clinical trial in which patients are randomly assigned to either the control group, which does not perform the physical training, or the intervention group, which participates in the multicomponent physical training program.

Functional Status in Hospitalized Endocrine Disorders

The aim of this observational study was to examine the clinical and functional characteristics of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department of a university hospital. In line with this purpose, the following research questions were given. What are the respiratory functions and respiratory rates of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What are the muscle strengths of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the general health status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the quality of life of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the fatigue status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the level of independence of patients hospitalized in daily living activities of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What are the routine blood values of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the sleep quality of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What are the physical activity levels of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the balance status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? What is the neuropathic pain status of patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department? The patients hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of Uşak Education and Research Hospital constitute the sample of the study. Clinical and functional evaluations will be made from the participants during their hospital stay. In this context, respiration, muscle strength, general pain assessment, life expectancy, fatigue, independence levels, sleep quality, routine blood values, physical activity levels, balance status and neuropathic status evaluation will be made.
