  • [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess changes in blood glucose level, blood pressure, and arterial stiffness after a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in elderly women aged over 65 years with hypertension and either normal glycemic control, impaired fasting glucose tolerance, or diabetes mellitus. We also wished to investigate the relationship between stages of diabetes and physical fitness. [Methods] A total of 24 elderly women with hypertension were assigned to a control group (CON; n=7), impaired fasting glucose group (IFG; n=9), and diabetes mellitus group (DM; n=8). In each group, blood glucose level, brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV), and blood pressure were measured at baseline as well as 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT. Physical fitness factors such as hand grip strength, balance test, 4 m gait speed test, chair stand test, short physical performance battery, and 6-minute walking test were subsequently assessed. [Results] In all three groups, blood glucose levels were significantly increased at 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT. In the DM group, blood glucose levels were significantly higher before and after a 75 g OGTT than in the CON group. In the CON group, PWV was significantly increased at 60 minutes after a 75 g OGTT; however, there were no changes in other groups after glucose ingestion. In the CON group, systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly decreased at 60 and 120 minutes after a 75 g OGTT compared to baseline. However, there was no change in blood pressure after ingestion in the DM group. The IFG group had greater grip strength than the CON group; however, there were no differences in other variables between the groups. [Conclusion] After a 75 g OGTT, elderly women with hypertension and diabetes maintain higher blood glucose levels compared to those with hypertension alone. Unlike elderly women with hypertension alone, those with hypertension and diabetes did not show changes in arterial stiffness and blood pressure after a 75 g OGTT. Therefore, elderly women with hypertension and diabetes may not be able to control their blood vessels following a 75 g OGTT due to impaired vascular endothelial function. Moreover, there was no association between diabetes stage and physical fitness in elderly women with hypertension.

  • 목적 : 본 연구에서는 뇌성마비 아동을 대상으로 작업치료 중재를 시행한 국내 단일대상연구들의 연구 특성을 종합적으로 분석하고 방법론적 질적 수준을 확인하여 근거 기반을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 2022년 5월 20일부터 29일까지 Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), National Digital Science Library (NDSL), Koreanstudies Information Service System (KISS), E-article에 게재된 문헌들을 대상으로 하였다. 검색어는'뇌성마비' AND '단일대상연구' OR '개별대상연구'였다. 11편의 논문을 최종 선택하여 일반적 특성과 방법론적 질적 수준을 분석하였다. 결과 : 11편의 분석 논문에서 방법론적 질적 수준은 중간 수준인 연구가 가장 많았다. 대상자는 학령전기 아동과 경직성 편마비 아동이 가장 많았고, 실험설계는 단일대상연구 설계에서 중재 제거 설계가 가장 많았으며 그 중에서 ABA 설계가 가장 많았다. 중재의 종류는 보조기기, 강제유도치료, 신경발달치료 접근, 감각통합치료가 각각 2편이었고, 상지운동훈련, 상호작용 메트로놈, 인지 기반 작업수행이 각각 1편이었다. 측정 도구는 최소 2개에서 최대 4개를 사용하여 종속변인을 측정하였고, 자세조절능력, 보행 및 균형, 손기능, 상지기능 등에서 긍정적인 효과 및 유의한 향상이 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구는 작업치료 중재를 적용한 뇌성마비 대상자의 특성과 중재 회기 및 시간, 중재효과, 측정도구와 방법론적 질적 수준을 제시함으로써 뇌성마비를 대상으로 작업치료 중재를 적용할 때 도움이 될 것으로 확인된다.
