Osteoporos Sarcopenia. 2016 Sep;2(3):186-190. doi: 10.1016/j.afos.2016.07.004. Epub 2016 Aug 23.
At present, there is no normative value that can be used in the definition of sarcopenia in the Philippines.
We identified the reference cut-off values for: 1) muscle mass using bioimpedance analysis; 2) grip strength; 3) usual gait speed; 4) timed get-up-and-go; and 5) short physical performance battery in the Philippines in order to adapt the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) criteria for the definition of sarcopenia.
Two hundred seventy six (135 males and 141 females) healthy Filipino adults, between 20 and 40 years, were included in this cross sectional study. A Fresenius Body Composition Monitor was used to measure lean tissue mass (LTM) and lean tissue index (LTI). A dynamometer was used to measure grip strength. Usual gait speed, timed get-up-and-go, and short physical performance battery were also determined.
The normative references for males and females, respectively, for LTI were 17.10 + 2.337 kg/m and 12.63 + 2.119 kg/m; for usual gait speed were 1.06 + 0.251 m/sec and 0.930 + 0.144 m/sec; and for grip strength were 39.76 + 7.567 kg and 26.68 + 5.243 kg. The sarcopenia cut-points for the males and females, respectively, for LTI were <12.50 kg/m and <8.33 kg/m; for usual gait speed were <0.55 m/sec and <0.65 m/sec; and for grip strength were <24.54 kg and <16.10 kg.
This study presents cut-points for the determination of sarcopenia at-risk population among Filipinos.
目前，菲律宾尚无可用于定义肌肉减少症的标准值。
我们确定了以下各项的参考临界值：1）使用生物电阻抗分析测定的肌肉量；2）握力；3）平常步速；4）定时起立行走测试；5）简短体能测试，以便使老年人肌肉减少症欧洲工作组（EWGSOP）的肌肉减少症定义标准适用于菲律宾。
本横断面研究纳入了276名（135名男性和141名女性）年龄在20至40岁之间的健康菲律宾成年人。使用费森尤斯人体成分监测仪测量瘦体重（LTM）和瘦体重指数（LTI）。使用测力计测量握力。还测定了平常步速、定时起立行走测试和简短体能测试。
男性和女性的LTI规范参考值分别为17.10 + 2.337kg/m和12.63 + 2.119kg/m；平常步速分别为1.06 + 0.251m/秒和0.930 + 0.144m/秒；握力分别为39.76 + 7.567kg和26.68 + 5.243kg。男性和女性的肌肉减少症切点，LTI分别为<12.50kg/m和<8.33kg/m；平常步速分别为<0.55m/秒和<0.65m/秒；握力分别为<24.54kg和<16.10kg。
本研究提出了用于确定菲律宾肌肉减少症高危人群的切点。
