The present study aimed to relate the strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls (SARC-F) score with the presence or absence of fragility fracture in the population over 60 years of age. The risk of sarcopenia was determined through the application of the SARC-F questionnaire, and the patients were divided into 2 groups, according to the occurrence or not of fragility fracture (n = 100). Thirty-two cases of distal radius fractures and eighteen cases of proximal femur fractures were identified. A higher score on the SARC-F is determinant between having or not a fragility fracture, estimating that for each point in the score there is a 70% increase in the chance of a patient having a fracture, regardless of age, gender, and body mass index (BMI). There was a direct correlation between a higher score on the SARC-F and an increase in the chance of fragility fracture.
本研究旨在探讨60岁以上人群中，肌肉减少症评估简表（SARC-F）评分与脆性骨折的发生与否之间的关系。通过应用SARC-F问卷来确定肌肉减少症的风险，并根据是否发生脆性骨折将患者分为两组（n = 100）。共识别出32例桡骨远端骨折和18例股骨近端骨折。SARC-F评分较高是发生脆性骨折与否的决定因素，估计评分每增加1分，患者发生骨折的几率就增加70%，且不受年龄、性别和体重指数（BMI）的影响。SARC-F评分较高与脆性骨折几率增加之间存在直接相关性。
