Health-related quality of life and fall risk associated with age-related body composition changes; sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenic obesity.

摘要: Background Sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity are various features of the ageing process that can cause important health issues. The present study was undertaken to investigate interrelationship between those body composition changes, including their clinical components quality-of-life variables. Methods A total 423 individuals aged 65 years or older included in this cross-sectional study. Sarcopenia diagnosed according European Working Group on Older People criteria. Body parameters were measured with a bioelectrical impedance analyser, Turkish population-based cut-off points preferred for diagnosis sarcopenia. Comprehensive geriatric assessment performed all patients. logistic regression analysis identify factors sarcopenia obesity. Results prevalence sarcopenic, obese subjects 14%, 35% 11% respectively. lowest mean gait speed hand grip strength values seen group (0.6 ± 0.3 m/s 19.7 9.8 kg respectively). Sarcopenic participants associated highest rate fall risk. scores domains health-related quality life worse both when compared others. mass index (BMI), number drugs used, fat ratio depression scale-short form negatively correlated dimensions SF-36 scale. Conclusions many negative outcomes, such as high risk low population.
