Lots more work to be done in reducing unnecessary testing before surgery. Thanks to Jane Brody for including my research in this article and to @JAMACardio and @nagelep1 @PWard35

Cardiac stress tests, X-rays and other medical tests may not provide useful information before operations, and they could cause harm.

Importantly, the two approaches identify different subsets of patients. Combining objective activity data with questionnaires may help refine preoperative risk identification.

However, accelerometer-based models performed similarly to the modified Duke Activity Status Index (AUC 0.79 vs 0.72, p=0.16).

18% of participants (114/640) had reduced FC. Daily step count (5843.9 [2950.4] vs 2988.3 [1757.2] steps per day; P<0.001) and time in moderate-intensity physical activity (118.0 [62.2] vs 59.9 [42.4] min day−1; P<0.001) differentiated good vs. reduced FC.

Participants (n=640), who were community dwelling older adults not scheduled for surgery, underwent CPET to measure peakVO2. ActiGraph (wrist) and activPAL (thigh) accelerometers were worn for 7-days.

Wearable accelerometers provide objective measurements of daily physical activity and its unclear if that data can out perform self-report questionnaires like the m-DASI ( https://t.co/BfARlUgCzK)

Can wearables identify older adults with poor functional capacity? Are they better than standard questionnaires? Yes and no. We used the cohort from the study of muscle mobility and aging to try and answer this question in @BJAJournals

I gave a student advice not to take a research gap year because... self fund gap year (vs paid as fellow) opportunity cost of 1 year physician wage & most importantly research training more generic & less applicable (vs after residency/fellowship when career more focused)

Walking faster could help older adults stay fit - @danielrubinmd @meganhuisingh Margaret Danilovich in @PLOSONE
uchicagomedicine.org
Researchers at UChicago Medicine found that a slight increase in walking cadence led to meaningful improvements in physical function for older adults who were frail or at risk of becoming frail.

Thanks to the @sciencefocus for highlighting our new study out in @PLOSONE about what is the right walking intensity to improve mobility in prefrail and frail older adults

Staving off frailty is as simple as walking slightly faster, according to a new study - with tips on how to measure your own pace.

#Increasing walking pace by just 14 steps per minute above usual can significantly boost physical function and independence in #OlderAdults at risk of frailty, new evidence shows. @PLOSONE

Frailty is a medically defined condition in older adults that increases vulnerability to everyday stresses, leading to a higher risk of falls, hospitalization and loss of independence. Warning signs...

Walking cadence has been suggested as a measure of activity intensity; however, it remains uncertain if prefrail and frail older adults can increase their walking cadence and if doing so leads to...
🚨 New study alert! 🚨 Thrilled to share our latest paper in @PLOSONE exploring a simple but important question: What walking cadence leads to meaningful functional improvements in older adults? 🔗 https://t.co/uz9QEo2yQX
