Longitudinal Changes In Physical Function And Health Services Utilization In Older Adults With And Without Osteoarthritis Following An Exercise Intervention
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study examined physical function and health services utilization (HSU) in older adults with and without osteoarthritis (OA) during and after an exercise intervention. METHODS: Secondary analyses of intervention data were performed. Physical activity (PA), functional fitness, physical function, health status and HSU were assessed at baseline, 12-months and 24-months. Longitudinal generalized estimating equation models were fit for each outcome. RESULTS: Data from 128 participants (61.2 ± 7.3 yrs; 73.4% were female; 36.7% with OA) were analyzed. Over the study period, the OA group had more GP and specialist visits than the non-OA group while both groups showed similar improvements in cardiovascular endurance, lower body strength and endurance, and flexibility. No changes were observed in other outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Research is needed to determine if PA programs for people with OA are successful in reducing HSU over long term, diminishing the need for higher cost treatments (e.g., total joint arthroplasty) and contributing to other positive health outcomes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
