Geriatric syndromes represent a critical domain in the population more than 60 years old. Basic syndromes include frailty, sarcopenia, loss of body mass, and a mild cognitive disorder. These are significant problems which can affect the quality of life. In our study, the Rapid Geriatric Assessment (RGA) tool was used to assess the geriatric syndromes, and the WHOQOL-BREF was used to assess the quality of life to survey 498 respondents from a population aged 60 and older. In all the assessments, the distribution of variables was tested, a nonnormal distribution of variables was identified, and subsequently, nonparametric tests were performed to identify the differences between groups. The study showed that the domain of physical health and the psychological domain were most affected. The results have shown that individual geriatric syndromes affect certain domains of the quality of life of the population above 60 with various intensity.
老年综合征是60岁以上人群中的一个关键领域。基本综合征包括衰弱、肌肉减少症、体重减轻和轻度认知障碍。这些都是会影响生活质量的重大问题。在我们的研究中,使用快速老年评估(RGA)工具来评估老年综合征,并使用世界卫生组织生活质量简表(WHOQOL-BREF)来评估生活质量,对498名60岁及以上的受访者进行了调查。在所有评估中,对变量分布进行了检验,识别出变量的非正态分布,随后进行非参数检验以确定组间差异。研究表明,身体健康领域和心理领域受影响最大。结果表明,个体老年综合征以不同强度影响60岁以上人群生活质量的某些领域。
