Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This review investigates the relationship between leg muscle power
and the chronic conditions of osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus, and
cardiovascular disease among older adults. Current literature assessing the
impact of chronic disease on leg power has not yet been comprehensively
characterized. Importantly, individuals with these conditions have shown
improved leg power with training.
METHODS: A search was performed using PubMed to identify original studies
published in English from January 1998 to August 2013. Leg power studies, among
older adults ≥ 50 years of age, which assessed associations with
osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus, and/or cardiovascular disease were selected.
Studies concerning post-surgery rehabilitation, case studies, and articles that
did not measure primary results were excluded.
RESULTS: Sixteen studies met inclusion criteria, addressing osteoarthritis
(n=5), diabetes mellitus (n=5), and cardiovascular disease (n=6). Studies
generally supported associations of lower leg power among older adults with
chronic disease, although small sample sizes, cross-sectional data, homogenous
populations, varied disease definitions, and inconsistent leg power methods
limited conclusions.
CONCLUSIONS: Studies suggest that osteoarthritis, diabetes mellitus, and
cardiovascular disease are associated with lower leg power compared to older
adults without these conditions. These studies are limited, however, by the
heterogeneity in study populations and a lack of standardized measurements of
leg power. Future larger studies of more diverse older adults with well-defined
chronic disease using standard measures of leg power and interventions to
improve leg power in these older adults with chronic disease are needed.
