OBJECTIVE
To estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia in Mexican older adults using simple measurements and tailored cutoff values for the components of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People algorithm.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
This study used cross-sectional data from the third wave (2012) of the Mexican Health and Aging Study. Gait speed and handgrip strength cutoff values were tailored for Mexican older adults. Muscle mass was estimated by a formula, which uses simple anthropometry and demographic characteristics.
RESULTS
From the total of 1,238 older adults included in our study, sarcopenia prevalence was 11% (n = 137). When categorizing sarcopenia, 39.1% (n = 484) had pre-sarcopenia, 8.3% (n = 103) moderate sarcopenia, and 2.75% (n = 34) had severe sarcopenia.
CONCLUSIONS
Sarcopenia is a common problem in Mexican older adults, and its frequency along with its severity increases with age. Tailored cutoff values could help in identifying those subjects that could have benefited from intervention.
目的
采用简单测量方法及针对老年人肌少症欧洲工作组算法各组成部分量身定制的临界值，估算墨西哥老年人肌少症的患病率。
材料与方法
本研究使用了墨西哥健康与老龄化研究第三次浪潮（2012年）的横断面数据。为墨西哥老年人量身定制了步速和握力临界值。肌肉量通过一个使用简单人体测量学和人口统计学特征的公式进行估算。
结果
在我们研究纳入的1238名老年人中，肌少症患病率为11%（n = 137）。在对肌少症进行分类时，39.1%（n = 484）有肌少症前期，8.3%（n = 103）有中度肌少症，2.75%（n = 34）有重度肌少症。
结论
肌少症在墨西哥老年人中是一个常见问题，其发生率及其严重程度随年龄增长而增加。量身定制的临界值有助于识别那些可能从干预中受益的受试者。
