Because gait speed is easily measured, clinically interpretable, and potentially modifiable, it may be a useful “vital sign” for older adults. The survival benefit for improvement at 1 year persisted after adjustment for covariates (hazard ratio=0.42, 95% confidence interval=0.29–0.61, P<.001) and was consistent across subgroups based on age, sex, ethnicity, initial gait speed, healthcare system, and hospitalization.ĬONCLUSION: Improvement in usual gait speed predicts a substantial reduction in mortality.

As such, this dissertation contributes to the field of music theory analytical insights into a repertoire that, while heretofore given scant. Mortality after 8 years was 31.6%, 41.2%, and 49.3% for those with improved, transiently improved, and never improved gait speed, respectively. Music resides in the fourth dimension unaffected by the constraints and restrictions of this mortal coil. RESULTS: Of the six measures, only improved gait speed was associated with survival. Covariates included demographics, comorbidity, cognitive function, and hospitalization. Mortality was ascertained from the National Death Index. Participants were classified as improved at 1 year, transiently improved, or never improved for each measure using a priori definitions of meaningful change: gait speed (usual walking pace over 4 m), 0.1 m/s Short Physical Performance Battery, 1 point Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form Health Survey physical function, 10 points EuroQol, 0.1 point National Health Interview activity of daily living scale, 2 points and global health change, two levels or reaching the ceiling. MEASUREMENTS: Six measures of health and function assessed at baseline and quarterly over 1 year. I encourage daily practice in preparation for recitals, examinations and music. PARTICIPANTS: Persons aged 65 and older (N=439). I teach all ages and levels from beginner to ARCT both in piano and theory.
I still remember carefully carrying my PM disk in a blue 3.5 inch floppy disk box, and the satisfaction that came with conquering each level. In chapter two, I explore further areas specifically pertaining to schemata for adaptive learning and propose a model of jazz improvisation schema theory.
SETTING: Medicare health maintenance organization and Veterans Affairs primary care programs. title size2Exploring Theory with Practica Musica, by Jeffery Evans/title Practica Musica has been a part of my musical life since I started college in the early 90s. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the relationship between 1-year improvement in measures of health and physical function and 8-year survival.
