目的探讨湖北地区老年消化系统疾病患者上臂围(mid-upper arm circumference,MAC)和小腿围(calf circumference,CC)营养学相关指标的关系,选取MAC和CC对营养不良的最佳诊断界值。方法选择出生地与居住地均在湖北的265例消化科老年患者,...目的探讨湖北地区老年消化系统疾病患者上臂围(mid-upper arm circumference,MAC)和小腿围(calf circumference,CC)营养学相关指标的关系,选取MAC和CC对营养不良的最佳诊断界值。方法选择出生地与居住地均在湖北的265例消化科老年患者,收集其营养学相关指标。用直线相关和多元逐步回归法分析MAC和CC与其他营养学指标的关系;按两因素析因设计资料分析年龄、性别对老年患者MAC和CC的影响;用ROC曲线法分析MAC和CC的截断界值。结果 MAC和CC与大多数营养指标的相关性较好(P<0.05);方差分析显示年龄对老年患者MAC和CC均有影响,性别对老年患者CC有影响。ROC曲线分析判别MAC和CC各组间截断值无差异。结论 MAC和CC对老年患者营养不良具有良好的诊断能力,湖北地区老年消化系统疾病患者营养不良评估的MAC和CC最佳截断值分别取24cm和30cm。展开更多
目的探讨专利产品带刻度袖带测量粗臂围者血压的应用价值。方法采用带刻度袖带同时测量65例臂围>26 cm者的血压和臂围者。依据小号袖带高估粗臂围血压的理论进行校正:臂围每增加1 cm将实测收缩压相应减低1 mm Hg、实测舒张压相应减低...目的探讨专利产品带刻度袖带测量粗臂围者血压的应用价值。方法采用带刻度袖带同时测量65例臂围>26 cm者的血压和臂围者。依据小号袖带高估粗臂围血压的理论进行校正:臂围每增加1 cm将实测收缩压相应减低1 mm Hg、实测舒张压相应减低2/3 mm Hg;其中有48例受试者粗臂围与实测收缩压>140 mm Hg和(或)舒张压>90 mm Hg同时存在,按简化经验公式计算校正。将实测值和校正值与同步有创导管测压相比较。结果 65例受试者臂围在26~38 cm之间,平均(31.9±2.3)cm。校正收缩压和舒张压与导管测压结果接近[(143.5±9.6)mm Hg比(142.7±9.5)mm Hg;(84.6±6.8)mm Hg比(83.9±6.7)mm Hg,均为P>0.05];而实测收缩压和舒张压明显高于导管测压结果[(150.1±10.3)mm Hg比(142.7±9.5)mm Hg;(89.4±7.5)mm Hg比(83.9±6.7)mm Hg,均为P<0.01]。结论带刻度袖带测量粗臂围者血压校正结果更准确,能避免"袖带性高血压"。展开更多
