The aim of this study is to verify the utility of using physical performance to discriminate the presence of dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) in older adults. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 382 community-dwelling older adults. DAO was identified when dynapenia (cut-off points of <26 kilogram-force [kgf] for men and <16 kgf for women) was detected together with abdominal obesity (waist circumference >102 cm for men and >88 cm for women). Physical performance was assessed with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). SPPB scores and DAO were inversely associated even after adjustment (OR: 0.69; 95%CI: 0.58-0.83). Cut-off points of ≤9 for SPPB scores were the most efficient for discriminating the presence of DAO in both men (AUC= 0.836; 95%CI: 0.76-0.89; sensitivity: 90.91% and specificity: 60.33%) and women (AUC= 0.677; 95%CI: 0.62-0.73; sensitivity: 73.33% and specificity: 40.91%). Physical performance assessed with SPPB can discriminate DAO and be useful for the timely identification and management of this condition in older adults.
本研究旨在验证使用身体机能来鉴别老年人 dynapenic 型腹型肥胖(DAO)的有效性。该横断面研究纳入了 382 名社区居住的老年人。当检测到 dynapenia(男性 <26 千克力 [kgf],女性 <16 kgf)与腹型肥胖(男性腰围 >102 cm,女性腰围 >88 cm)同时存在时,即可诊断为 DAO。身体机能通过短体力量表(SPPB)进行评估。即使在调整后,SPPB 评分和 DAO 仍呈负相关(OR:0.69;95%CI:0.58-0.83)。SPPB 评分≤9 的截断点在鉴别男性(AUC=0.836;95%CI:0.76-0.89;敏感性:90.91%,特异性:60.33%)和女性(AUC=0.677;95%CI:0.62-0.73;敏感性:73.33%,特异性:40.91%)中 DAO 存在时最有效。SPPB 评估的身体机能可以鉴别 DAO,并有助于及时识别和管理老年人的这种情况。
