Age-Related Adverse Inflammatory and Metabolic Changes Begin Early in Adulthood.
(The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2018-05-22)Aging is characterized by deleterious immune and metabolic changes, but the onset of these changes is unknown. We measured immune and metabolic biomarkers in adults beginning at age 30. To our knowledge, this is the first ... -
Combined Inflammation and Metabolism Biomarker Indices of Robust and Impaired Physical Function in Older Adults.
(Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2018-05-08)To determine whether combinations of inflammatory markers are related to physical function.secondary analysis of baseline of three observational studies of community-dwelling older adults MEASUREMENTS: The baseline data ... -
Developing Predictors of Long-Term Adherence to Exercise Among Older Veterans and Spouses.
(Journal of applied gerontology : the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society, 2019-09-21)Behavior change theory was used to explore predictors of long-term adherence (≥2 years) to exercise. A retrospective analysis of data from participants (N = 97) who reached a 6-month follow-up, which served as the baseline, ... -
Diet quality and exercise in older veterans with PTSD: a pilot study.
(Translational behavioral medicine, 2021-09-06)Older veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are at increased risk of obesity and cardiometabolic disease. Physical activity and healthy eating are two behaviors that impact health, functional independence, and ... -
Differences between completely physically inactive and low active older men and their response to an exercise intervention: the Veterans LIFE study.
(Healthy aging research, 2015-01)Physical activity interventions typically do not report behavioral changes in activity sub-groups. The aim of this study was to compare baseline differences and changes in physical activity between truly physically inactive ... -

STepped exercise program for patients with knee OsteoArthritis (STEP-KOA): protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
(BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2019-05)<h4>Background</h4>Physical therapy (PT) and other exercise-based interventions are core components of care for knee osteoarthritis (OA), but both are underutilized, and some patients have limited access to PT services. ... -
The Impact of Multiple Dimensions of Socioeconomic Status on Physical Functioning Across the Life Course.
(Gerontology & geriatric medicine, 2018-01)Objective: We used the Physical Performance Across the LifeSpan Study to investigate the relationships of multiple indicators of socioeconomic status (SES), both in early life and late life, with physical function. Method: ... -
The Sickle Cell Disease Functional Assessment (SCD-FA) tool: a feasibility pilot study.
(Pilot and feasibility studies, 2022-03)<h4>Background</h4>The life expectancy for individuals with sickle cell disease (SCD) has greatly increased over the last 50 years. Adults with SCD experience multiple complications such as cardiopulmonary disease, strokes, ... -
The Warrior Wellness Study: A Randomized Controlled Exercise Trial for Older Veterans with PTSD.
(Translational journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, 2018-03)Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects up to 30% of military veterans.
