Abstract

Background/Purpose: Sarcopenia is a public health problem; however, it remains poorly evaluated during hospitalization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia and the factors associated with this condition in hospitalized elderly patients Methods: A total of 122 elderly individuals were evaluated in this case-control study (61=hospitalized and 61=non-hospitalized). Sarcopenia was defined and evaluated according to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2). The Charlson comorbidity index, geriatric depression scale, body mass index (BMI), Barthel Index, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Lawton-Brody index, and Mini Nutritional Assessment Instrument-Short Form (MNA-SF) were also used for the evaluations. Results: The prevalence of sarcopenia was 38% in hospitalized patients compared to 11% in controls. Hospitalized elderly patients showed a significant reduction in functionality, muscle strength, and mental and nutritional status compared to the controls. Sarcopenic patients were older, had a lower BMI, and obtained worse MMSE results than non-sarcopenic individuals. There was an association between the MMSE results and the BMI in patients with sarcopenia that was independent of the group. Conclusion: Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in hospitalized elderly individuals, and it is associated with cognitive state and BMI.

住院老年患者肌肉减少症的患病率及相关因素

背景/目的:肌肉减少症是一个公共卫生问题;然而，在住院期间，它的评价仍然很差。本研究的目的是评估住院老年患者肌肉减少症的患病率及其相关因素。方法:在本病例对照研究中，共对122名老年人进行了评估(61名住院患者和61名非住院患者)。根据欧洲老年人肌肉减少症工作组(EWGSOP2)的标准定义和评估肌肉减少症。同时采用Charlson合并症指数、老年抑郁量表、体重指数(BMI)、Barthel指数、简易精神状态检查(MMSE)、Lawton-Brody指数和简易营养评估量表(MNA-SF)进行评估。结果:住院患者肌肉减少症患病率为38%，对照组为11%。与对照组相比，住院的老年患者在功能、肌肉力量、精神和营养状况方面表现出明显的下降。肌少症患者年龄较大，BMI较低，MMSE结果比非肌少症患者差。肌少症患者的MMSE结果与BMI之间存在独立于组的关联。结论:骨骼肌减少症在住院老年人中高发，且与认知状态和BMI有关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
