Subclinical thyroid dysfunction and mortality: an estimate of relative and absolute excess all-cause mortality based on time-to-event data from cohort studies Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objectives: To what extent persons with subclinical hyper- or hypothyroidism are more (or less) likely to die than euthyroid control subjects remains a matter of controversy.
Methods: We searched electronic reference databases up to July 31, 2007. Three reviewers independently assessed eligibility. Cohort studies published in full that reported data on the hazard ratio (HR) for mortality from all causes in persons with subclinical ...

Flexible Activity Tracking for Older Adults Using Mobility Aids — An Exploratory Study on Automatically Identifying Movement Modality KU Leuven
Wearable activity trackers are inaccessible to older adults who use mobility aids (e.g., walker, wheelchair), because the accuracy of trackers drops considerably for such movement modalities (MMs). As an initial step to address this problem, we implemented and tested a minimum distance classifier to automatically identify the used MM out of seven modalities, including movement with or without a mobility aid, and no movement. Depending on the ...
