C-20 Cardiorespiratory Fitness Predicts Processing Speed Performance in Urban Latin Americans
(2019-07-29)
Objective
There is evidence that cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) protects against age-related declines in processing speed (PS), but studies investigating older adults living in low and middle-income countries are lacking. ...
Development of a VO2Peak prediction equation in elderly
(2017)
Introduction. Aging decreases aerobic capacity as determined by direct maximal tests (Hassel et al. 2015). There are indirect methods to assess aerobic capacity such as the 6-min walking test (6MWT). Some equations to ...
Health and Fitness Differences Between Urban and Rural Costa Rican Older Adults
(2019-06-01)
Costa Rica has one of the highest life expectancies in America, even higher than the
United States. Studies addressing health and fitness in Latin American urban and
rural older adults are scarce. PURPOSE: The purpose ...
Fitness and cognitive performance in urban Latin Americans
(2016)
Our group recently
conducted a randomized clinical
trial in US dwelling older adults
that indicated increasing
cardiorespiratory fitness (measured
by VO2 peak on treadmill)
resulted in better visuospatial
cognition ...
Impact of social support on cognitive vascular risk factors in latino older adults
(2019-11-15)
Objective: Central Americans have a cardiovascular disease (CVD) health advantage, as they are half as likely to carry CVD
as European Americans, despite having an equivalent degree of vascular risk factors (VRFs). We ...
