Abstract
Objectives
Describe and analyze the sociodemographic, clinical and functional characteristics of individuals with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and compare the clinical severity with levels of mobility. Methods. Exploratory cross-sectional study in a single public health center. The study cohort comprised 99 individuals.
Interventions
Clinical, sociodemographic and physical activity level questionnaires were applied; we also evaluated ankle amplitude and sural triceps function. Descriptive statistics, independent t test and one-way ANOVA with post hoc Least Significant Difference (LSD) were performed.
Results
Ninety-nine participants (87.9% woman) with an average age with an average age of 60.6 ± 14 years who where recruited to the study. The cohort was composed of individuals were moderately active, 80% exhibited symptoms of the disease and approximately 40% reported reduced mobility. Individuals who had reduced mobility and less physical activity showed reduced ankle amplitude and muscle function (p <0.05).
Conclusion
CVI impacts on functional capacity, even in individuals with less severe disease.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
