Several studies have examined the independent effects of single diseases; however, little research has focused on interaction between diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of six self-reported major conditions and their combinations on HRQL measured by the EQ-5D. Methods The EQ-5D was administered in the population-based KORA-Age study of 4,565 Germans aged 65 years or older. A generalised additive regression model was used to assess the effects of chronic conditions on HRQL and to account for the nonlinear associations with age and body mass index (BMI). Disease interactions were identified by a forward variable selection method. Results The conditions with the greatest negative impact on the EQ-5D index were the history of a stroke (regression coefficient -11.3, p < 0.0001) and chronic bronchitis (regression coefficient -8.1, p < 0.0001). Patients with both diabetes and coronary disorders showed more impaired HRQL than could be expected from their separate effects (coefficient of interaction term -8.1, p < 0.0001). A synergistic effect on HRQL was also found for the combination of coronary disorders and stroke. The effect of BMI on the mean EQ-5D index was inverse U-shaped with a maximum at around 24.8 kg/m2. Conclusions There are important interactions between coronary problems, diabetes mellitus, and the history of a stroke that negatively affect HRQL in the older German population. Not only high but also low BMI is associated with impairments in health status.

A1 - Schanda, Ulrich T1 - Modelling the Sound Transmission across Junctions of Building Components by Energy Influence Coefficients T2 - European Association for Structural Dynamics (ed.), EURODYN N2 - A trend towards lightweight structures, e.g. timber structures, is noticeable in civil engineering, which implies the necessity to predict vibroacoustic characteristics like the transmission of structure-borne sound in order to fulfil requirements regarding serviceability. This contribution focuses on the investigation of junctions of building components e.g. between wall and ceiling. It is part of a joint research project with the aim to catalogue the coupling for a variety of junctions. The resulting database may serve to predict the transmission of structure-borne sound which is typically carried out either using a Finite Element (FEM) approach, suitable for the low frequency range, or by means of energy methods like the Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA) for the high frequency range. Therefore the so-called mid frequency gap emerges, which is examined and attempted to be closed. In this context SEA-averaging techniques are applied in the postprocessing of FEM calculations to obtain an adapted “SEAlike” approach. By varying the subsystems to be excited it is possible to determine Energy Influence Coefficients (EIC), which describe the specific energy content of the different subsystems with respect to the input power. Using this hybrid approach vibroacoustic predictions can be performed also in the mid frequency range. Inverting the EIC-matrix Coupling Loss Factors as well as Damping Loss Factors of the different subsystems can be calculated if the subsystem definition fulfils the SEA-requirements. The application of the method in combination to a classical SEA calculation and to laboratory measurements is presented. KW - Schallmesstechnik KW - Holzbau Y1 - 2014 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Peters, A.

Design: Multi-centre cohort study. Patients: A total of 391 patients (50.1% female, mean age 63.4 years) from 4 university hospitals in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and one Austrian general hospital. Methods: Data on functioning were collected using the respective comprehensive acute ICF Core Sets. Data were extracted from patients' medical record sheets and interviews with health professionals and patients. Results: Most of the categories of the comprehensive ICF Core Sets describing impairments, limitations or restrictions occurred in a considerable proportion of the study population. The most outstanding limitations and restrictions of the patients were problems with sleep and blood vessel functions, walking and moving and self-care. Thirty-eight aspects of functioning not previously covered by the comprehensive ICF Core Sets were ranked as relevant. Conclusion: Categories of the comprehensive ICF Core Sets for the acute hospital situation were confirmed. Some additional categories not covered by the Set in its present version emerged from the interviews, and should be considered for inclusion in a finalized version.

The aims of this study were to determine the association between midlife physical activity and late-life disability and to investigate gender-specific differences. Method This data originates from the KORA-Age cohort, a follow-up in 2008 of the MONICA (Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Diseases)/KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) S1–S4 surveys (1984–2001) situated in Augsburg, a city in Southern Germany. We applied a multivariable hurdle model to investigate the association of physical activity and disability. Results We analysed 3333 persons with a mean follow-up of 18 ± 5.5 years. Using hurdle models, moderate activity and high activity had a protective effect on the occurrence of disability (OR (odds ratio) = 0.80 and 0.73), but not on severity (i.e. number of limitations). We observed a strong gender-specific difference in this association, with men benefitting more from exercise. Conclusion Elevated physical activity reduces the risk of becoming disabled and postpones the onset of disability by several years, but we could not show an effect on the severity of disability. In addition, men seem to benefit more from leisure-time physical activity than women KW - Aged KW - Aged 80 and over KW - physical activity KW - Disability evaluation Y1 - 2014 ER - TY - CHAP A1 - Buchschmid, M.

Part 2: Measurement-Based Investigation of the Sound Radiation of Suspended Ceilings T2 - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e.V. (ed.), Fortschritte der Akustik - DAGA N2 - In this contribution a method for the prediction of the radiated sound out of the velocity field of a vibrating ceiling is presented. The numerical method was validated via measurements on a real structure using a pp-probe. It is based on Integral Transform techniques and can be applied in the postprocessing of a FEM simulation (harmonic analysis) [1]. The method was verified by measurements on the real structure and can be used for parametrical studies. Rounding off the Parts 1 and 2 of this publication nomograms, based on dimensionless parameters, can be developed to predict the sound radiation of light weight slabs. Hereby different sets of geometry as well as different configurations of ceilings can be studied in order to describe the acoustical and dynamical behaviour of wooden ceilings.

T1 - Methodenvergleich zur Bestimmung von Verlustfaktoren von Massivholzelementen T2 - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Akustik e.V. (ed.), Fortschritte der Akustik - DAGA N2 - Die mithilfe der Abklingmethode ermittelten Verlustfaktoren sind bei mehreren Eigenfrequenzen pro Frequenzband zuverlässig. Die Ergebnisse der Resonanzbreitenmethode beziehen sich dagegen auf die Eigenfrequenzen und sind nur bei einer geringen Modenüberlappung zuverlässig. Beide Methoden sind gleichwertig, wenn mehrere Eigenschwingungen im Frequenzband vorhanden sind und die Modenüberlappung gleichzeitig gering ist. Für einseitig überlagerte Resonanzkurven wurde eine einfache Alternative der Resonanzbreitenmethode vorgeschlagen. Die Ergebnisse wurden im Rahmen des gemeinsam von der TU München, der HS Rosenheim und dem ift Rosenheim durchgef¨uhrten DFG-AiF Forschungsvorhabens ”Vibroakustik im Planungsprozess für Holzbauten” erarbeitet.

The purpose of this study was to develop a complex intervention to improve participation in nursing home residents with joint contractures. Methods The development followed the UK Medical Research Council framework using a mixed-methods design with re-analysis of existing interview data using a graphic modelling approach, group discussions with nursing home residents, systematic review of intervention studies, structured 2-day workshop with experts in geriatric, nursing, and rehabilitation, and group discussion with professionals in nursing homes. Results Graphic modelling identified restrictions in the use of transportation, walking within buildings, memory functions, and using the hands and arms as the central target points for the intervention. Seven group discussions with 33 residents revealed various aspects related to functioning and disability according the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health domains body functions, body structures, activities and participation, environmental factors, and personal factors. The systematic review included 17 studies with 992 participants: 16 randomised controlled trials and one controlled trial. The findings could not demonstrate any evidence in favour of an intervention. The structured 2-day expert workshop resulted in a variety of potential intervention components and implementation strategies. The group discussion with the professionals in nursing homes verified the feasibility of the components and the overall concept. The resulting intervention, Participation Enabling CAre in Nursing (PECAN), will be implemented during a 1-day workshop for nurses, a mentoring approach, and supportive material. The intervention addresses nurses and other staff, residents, their informal caregivers, therapists, and general practitioners. Conclusions In view of the absence of any robust evidence, the decision to use mixed methods and to closely involve both health professionals and residents proved to be an appropriate means to develop a complex intervention to improve participation of and quality of life in nursing home residents. We will now evaluate the PECAN intervention for its impact and feasibility in a pilot study in preparation for an evaluation of its effectiveness in a definitive trial.
