OBJECTIVE Diabetes among older adults causes many complications, including decreased lower-extremity function and physical disability. Diabetes can cause peripheral nerve dysfunction, which might be one pathway through which diabetes leads to decreased physical function. The study aims were to determine the following: (1) whether diabetes and impaired fasting glucose are associated with objecti...

متن کاملLower Extremity Peripheral Arterial Disease
Eight to 12 million people in United States have PAD (Allison et al. 2007). Only ~10% of patients with PAD have classic intermittent claudication (IC), ~50% have atypical leg symptoms and ~40% are asymptomatic (Hiatt 2001). Its prevalence significantly increases with age; 12 – 20% of those above the age of 65 years suffer from PAD (Ostchega al. 2007). The prevalence of PAD is similar in men and...
متن کاملEffects of percutaneous lower-extremity arterial interventions on endothelial function and inflammation response in patients with both type 2 diabetes and lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease.
BACKGROUND The high incidence and damage of PAD in people with diabetes has aroused wide attention. We aimed to examine effects of percutaneous lower-extremity arterial interventions (PLEAIs) on endothelial function and inflammation response in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD). METHODS 78 T2D inpatients with PAD were selected into the treat...
