Abstract

BackgroundSalat has been linked to physical, cognitive, emotional and psychological health benefits. This scoping review classifies the health benefits of salat based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) conceptual framework. The ICF illustrates how Salat may be used as a multi-modal and multidisciplinary framework to rehabilitate clients with different conditions tailored to their clinical, psychosocial and environmental contexts.PurposeTo conduct a scoping review on the health benefits of salat (muslim prayer) based on the ICF conceptual framework.MethodsA literature review was conducted from February to April 2023 using PubMed, EBSCO, and the Scopus Library databases. Articles published between 2012 and 2023 were retrieved using the following keywords: "impact" OR "effect" OR "health benefit" OR "functional outcome" AND "shalat" OR "Muslim prayer" OR "Salat”. Health benefits of salat were subsequently categorised into five domains of the ICF.ResultsA total of 596 articles were identified through PubMed (404), EBSCO (124), and Scopus (68).  Thirty-one records met the predefined inclusion criteria: 21 original articles, two systematic reviews, five literature reviews, one case study, one case series, and one short report. Salat had positive benefits on the cardiorespiratory, haematological, immunological, mental and neuromuscular functions. Salat may serve as a coping mechanism to reduce stress and depression. The frequency and duration of salat had positive associations with maintaining employment, social support and better quality of life.ConclusionSalat is associated with many health benefits, which can be categorised systematically and summarised using the ICF conceptual framework.

Abstract

Life satisfaction is a subjective concept that reflects individuals’ overall evaluation of their life. It is closely associated with the physical and mental health of older adults. The sustainability of life satisfaction among the elderly is important for both individual happiness and societal well-being for public health. This literature study aims to provide a sustainable perspective by examining the factors influencing life satisfaction in old age through both physical and mental dimensions. This study, designed as a literature review, was prepared by scanning studies published in the last five years (2021-2025) in PubMed, Scopus and Science Direct databases. Older adults with high life satisfaction tend to form healthier relationships with their surroundings, access health services more consciously, and interact more actively with society. In this context, addressing life satisfaction in old age from a physical and mental health perspective contributes to achieving sustainable well-being at both the individual and societal levels. The literature demonstrates that life satisfaction in older adults is directly related to their physical and mental health status. The majority of participants reported that the presence of chronic diseases, mobility limitations, and loss of independence in daily activities negatively affected their life satisfaction. In terms of mental health, symptoms of depression, social isolation, and feelings of loneliness emerge as significant determinants of reduced life satisfaction. The review found that protective factors such as regular health check-ups, an active lifestyle, the presence of social support systems, and support for psychological well-being significantly enhance life satisfaction. Additionally, developing a positive attitude towards aging and having meaningful life goals play a vital role in ensuring sustainable life satisfaction. Based on the literature review, developing policies, practices, and supportive services aimed at improving life satisfaction in older adults is of great importance for promoting healthy and active aging.

Abstract

BackgroundAs people age, skeletal muscle mass and strength decrease, leading to sarcopenia, diagnosed through calf circumference, muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Uric acid (UA), with both pro-oxidant and antioxidant properties, is an indicator of oxidative stress and may contribute to sarcopenia. This study aimed to determine the correlation between serum uric acid levels and sarcopenia in elderly in a community health center. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted involving 42 subjects aged ≥60 years, consisting of 37 female and 5 male participants. We applied Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria to define sarcopenia. Muscle mass was measured using skeletal muscle index (SMI) based on bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Handgrip strength (HGS), physical performance, calf circumference, and blood test data were collected. A backward regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between UA and SMI, HGS, physical performance, and calf circumference after adjusting for gender, smoking history, upper arm circumference, and body mass index.Results After adjusting for potential confounding variables, uric acid remained significantly associated with muscle strength (β=0.326; p=0.023) and calf circumference (β=0.264; p=0.010), but not with muscle mass (β=0.046; p=0.727) or physical performance (β=–0.171; p=0.279).ConclusionThere is a significant correlation between uric acid levels and muscle strength, physical performance, and calf circumference in sarcopenia among the elderly in the community health center. Higher uric acid serum levels might slow down the progression of sarcopenia.

Abstract

BackgroundRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a prevalent urologic malignancy with heterogeneous outcomes even after surgery. Conventional prognostic factors are insufficient to capture host-related influences on survival. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI), derived from serum albumin and lymphocyte count, reflects nutritional and immunological status and has emerged as a potential prognostic biomarker. The objective of this study was to determine preoperative PNI in predicting survival outcomes of RCC patients.MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study involving 107 RCC patients who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy. Patients were categorized into normal and low PNI. Associations between PNI and clinicopathological features were assessed, while survival outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan–Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression.ResultsPatients’ mean age was 53.1 ± 13.5 years, and 58.9% of the patients were male. Clear cell carcinoma was the most common histological type (69.2%). Low PNI was significantly associated with older age (p=0.04), metastatic disease (p<0.001), and advanced tumor stage (p=0.014). Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated significantly poorer survival in the low-PNI group (p<0.001). In the multivariate Cox model, PNI remained the strongest independent predictor of overall survival (HR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.13–0.67, p=0.003), while metastasis also retained independent significance (HR = 2.04, 95% CI: 1.06–3.93, p=0.031).ConclusionThe PNI is an independent, simple, and cost-effective prognostic factor for overall survival in RCC. Incorporating PNI into preoperative risk stratification may enhance clinical decision-making. Therefore, PNI could be used as an effective prognostic indicator in RCC.
