Yoga Decreases Kyphosis in Senior Women and Men with Adult‐Onset Hyperkyphosis: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
TLDR
To assess whether a specifically designed yoga intervention can reduce hyperkyphosis, a large number of patients with this condition are receiving treatment through yoga or hatha yoga.
Height loss starting in middle age predicts increased mortality in the elderly
The purpose of this study was to determine the mortality risk among Japanese men and women with height loss starting in middle age, taking into account lifestyle and physical factors.
Hyperkyphotic Posture and Risk of Future Osteoporotic Fractures: The Rancho Bernardo Study
TLDR
It is found that with increasing kyphosis, there was a significant trend of increasing fracture risk that was independent of previous history of fractures or BMD.
Association of thoracic kyphosis with subjective poor health, functional activity and blood pressure in the community-dwelling elderly.
TLDR
The purpose of the study is to assess the association of kyphosis with subjective poor health and functional activity in the community-dwelling Japanese elderly.
Relationship Between Kyphotic Posture and Falls in Community-Dwelling Men and Women: The Locomotive Syndrome and Health Outcome in Aizu Cohort Study
TLDR
A sex difference in the association between kyphotic posture and falls in community-dwelling adults is identified, which might only increase the incidence of falls in men.
Hyperkyphotic posture and poor physical functional ability in older community-dwelling men and women: the Rancho Bernardo study.
TLDR
Older persons with hyperkyphotic posture are more likely to have physical functional difficulties.
Relationships between Flexed Posture, Physical Performance and Psychosocial Factors in Elderly Women
TLDR
Flexed posture was measured using kyphosis angle, forward head posture, and round shoulder, and physical performance was evaluated using the short physical performance battery, grip strength, and static and dynamic balance, and psychosocial factors were measured using depression and the quality of life.
Self-Assessed Kyphosis and Chewing Disorders Predict Disability and Mortality in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
Kyphosis and 3-year fall risk in community-dwelling older men
TLDR
Although the Cobb angle did not predict falls in community-dwelling older men over 3 years, the blocks method of measuring kyphosis was predictive of falls in this population.
Association of thoracic kyphosis with subjective poor health, functional activity and blood pressure in the community-dwelling elderly
TLDR
Kyphosis is associated with subjective poor health in the community-dwelling female elderly in this study population, but not with functional activity and blood pressure both in males and females.

The Impact of Kyphosis on Daily Functioning
TLDR
It is proposed that moderate or severe kyphosis is associated with decrements in physical function, especially mobility, and this research aims to establish a biomarker for this condition.
Hyperkyphotic posture and poor physical functional ability in older community-dwelling men and women: the Rancho Bernardo study.
TLDR
Older persons with hyperkyphotic posture are more likely to have physical functional difficulties.
A longitudinal study of kyphosis in older people.
TLDR
Although cross-sectional data suggested greater increase in kyphosis with increasing age in women compared with men, longitudinal measurements over five years did not show this and the relationship between the indices, and the additional effect ofAge in women, persisted in five year survivors.
Vertebral fractures and mortality in older women: a prospective study. Study of Osteoporotic Fractures Research Group.
TLDR
Women with radiographic evidence of vertebral fractures have an increased mortality rate, particularly from pulmonary disease and cancer, and causes of death associated with vertebra fractures are described.
RELATIONSHIP OF KYPHOSIS TO PHYSICAL FITNESS AND BONE MASS ON POST MENOPAUSAL WOMEN
Relationship of lung function to severity of osteoporosis in women.
TLDR
Kyphosis and thoracic compression fractures caused by osteoporosis produce modest but predictable declines in vital capacity in women, and there was a significant effect on FVC of the degree of hyperkyphosis as measured by Cobb's angle.

TLDR
It is concluded that with respect to quality of life components, functional limitation is the most specific to spinal osteoporosis and is related to clinical measures of spinal deformation.

[Hospital care for stroke patients in the Valencian Region using the basic minimum data set from the International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision, clinical modification].
TLDR
In spite of possible insufficiencies analysed in this work, the use of the basic minimum data set (BMDS) provides valuable epidemiological information that is very useful for health care management.
Accuracy of Death Certificates for Coding Coronary Heart Disease as the Cause of Death
TLDR
Data from the Framingham Heart Study allowed us to evaluate the accuracy of the death certificate diagnosis of coronary heart disease as the underlying cause of death, and the influence of age, sex, calendar year in which death occurred, and prevalence of coronaryheart disease on the accuracy.
