Active senior lifestyle
Dušková, Iveta ; Bunc, Václav (advisor) ; Horčic, Josef (referee)
Subject: Active senior lifestyle Author's name: Bc. Iveta Dušková Supervizor: profesor Ing. Václav Bunc CSc. Objective: To verify whether biological age of tested seniors is in line with their calendar age. The differnce towards calendar age will be evaluated via ECM/BCM ration based on body content analysis. I will investigate the influence of physical activity on slower ageing physiology and the effect of physical activity on status of net muscle mass and on frequency of civilazation diseases. The goal is to figure out if active lifestyle is available also for seniors. Methods: The core of the work is qualitative and quantitative survey mapping antropometric parameters by bioimpedancy method. The functional values were collected by motorical step est and by handgrip. Further the subjective quality life judgment interview with yes/no options was used for the target senior group. Results: The relationship was found for the bioimpedancy results and the the volume of physical weekly activity (in hours) and level of BMI and pecentage of body fat. Further the realtionship was found for physical activity volume and for the dynamometric and motorical test results. Thjere is a difference between men and women. There was no relationship found for ECM/BCM coefficient and physical activity volume. The type...
The role of peripheral quantitative CT in early diagnostics of osteoporosis in chronically ill children

Patients with Turner syndrome (TS) have increased fracture risk and decreased bone density, patients with severe hemophilia have low bone density. The etiology of these changes hasn't been completely elucidated in any of the two diseases. Our aimes were to assess bone density and geometry at the radius using a new method peripheral quantitative CT densitometry (pQCT) and to describe associations between densitometry parameters and estrogen treatment in TS and laboratory as well as clinical markers of disease severity in haemophilia. Sixty-seven girls with TS (median age 14.3 years, range 6.0-19.4) and 42 boys with haemophilia (median age 12.7 years, range 6.6-19.2) have been measured using peripheral quantitative CT at the radius. The results have been compared to published reference data. Girls with TS had decreased cortical bone density and thinner cortex. These parameters were positively correlated to the length of estrogen treatment. Trabecular bone density was normal in prepubertal girls but it was decreased after puberty. There was no association between trabecular bone density and the estrogen treatment. Boys with haemophilia had decreased trabecular density and low muscle area at the forearm. Densitometry parameters were influenced neither by the clotting factor VIII/IX level nor by the frequency of...
