Abstract

Background: Older adults living in nursing homes have an increased risk of adverse outcomes. However, the role of body composition in vital health and quality of life parameters such as functional capacity and cognitive function is less studied in this group of older adults compared to community-dwelling counterparts.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to examine the association of body composition with functional capacity and cognitive function in nursing home residents.

Methods: Fifty-three older adults (82.8 ± 7.3 years) were enrolled in this study and they underwent body composition evaluation, functional capacity and cognitive function measurements.

Results: The results showed a high prevalence of obesity accompanied by functional capacity limitations and cognitive impairment in older adults living in nursing homes. Partial correlations, controlling for age, showed that body fat percentage was positively correlated with sit-to-stand-5 (r = 0.310, p = 0.025) and timed-up-and-go (r = 0.331, p = 0.017), and negatively correlated with handgrip strength test results (r = -0.431, p<0.001), whereas greater lean body mass was associated with better sit-to-stand-5 (r = -0.410, p = 0.003), handgrip strength (r=0.624, p<0.001) and cognitive function performance (r = 0.302, p = 0.037).

Conclusions: These important associations reinforce the need to develop effective healthy lifestyle interventions targeting both lean mass and body fat to combat functional and cognitive decline in nursing home residents.

生活在养老院的老年人身体成分与功能能力和认知功能的关系。
背景:老年人生活在养老院有不良后果的风险增加。然而,与社区居民相比,这组老年人的身体成分在重要健康和生活质量参数(如功能能力和认知功能)中的作用研究较少。目的:探讨老年人身体成分与功能能力和认知功能的关系。方法:对53例老年人(82.8±7.3岁)进行身体成分评估、功能能力和认知功能测量。结果:研究结果显示,在养老院生活的老年人中,肥胖的患病率较高,并伴有功能能力限制和认知障碍。在控制年龄的偏相关因素下,体脂率与坐立姿势(r = 0.310, p = 0.025)和起身时间(r = 0.331, p = 0.017)呈正相关,与握力测试结果呈负相关(r = -0.431, p)。结论:这些重要关联强化了针对瘦体重和体脂制定有效的健康生活方式干预措施的必要性,以对抗养老院居民的功能和认知能力下降。
