Abstract

Aim

To compare the performance of the SARC-F and SARCCalf questionnaires in sarcopenia screening and their relationship with clinical and sociodemographic aspects of older adults.

Methods

Analytical cross-sectional study carried out with 739 elderly people in the community. Clinical, sociodemographic, anthropometric data and screening for signs suggestive of sarcopenia were obtained using the SARC-F and SARCCalf.

Results

Evaluation by method showed a difference in the proportion of positive results for the SARC-F regarding female sex (71.7; p = 0.001), among older adults who did not have a partner (49.7; p < 0.001), and osteoarticular diseases (13.4; p < 0.001). On the other hand, the SARCCalf identified a higher proportion of positive results among older adults at risk of malnutrition (12.2; p < 0.001).

Conclusion

The performance of the instruments varied according to the clinical and sociodemographic characteristics of the population, and it is up to professionals to consider these aspects when using them.

目的：比较 SARC-F 和 SARCCalf 问卷在肌少症筛查中的表现及其与老年人临床和社会人口学方面的关系：方法：对 739 名社区老年人进行横断面分析研究。方法：对 739 名社区老年人进行了横断面分析研究，使用 SARC-F 和 SARCCalf 获得了临床、社会人口学、人体测量数据，并筛查了提示肌少症的体征：按方法进行的评估显示，SARC-F 的阳性结果比例与女性（71.7；P = 0.001）、无伴侣老年人（49.7；P < 0.001）和骨关节疾病（13.4；P < 0.001）有关。另一方面，在有营养不良风险的老年人中，SARCCalf 的阳性结果比例更高（12.2；p < 0.001）：这些工具的性能因人群的临床和社会人口特征而异，专业人员在使用时应考虑到这些方面。
