to identify the prevalence and characteristics associated with sarcopenia in elders in Primary Health Care Units.
cross-sectional study with 384 elders. To evaluate sarcopenia, we measured: strength and muscle mass, and physical performance. The elderly were classified as having: probable sarcopenia; sarcopenia; or severe sarcopenia. The chi-squared test and the multinomial logistic regression method were used.
the prevalence of probable sarcopenia was 25.52%; of sarcopenia, 11.98%; and of severe sarcopenia, 9.90%. Probable sarcopenia is 1.75 times more prevalent in men; osteoporosis is 2.16 times more prevalent in people with severe sarcopenia; polypharmacy is 1.57 times more likely in individuals with probable sarcopenia; and calf circumference below 31 cm is 2.24 times more likely in patients with sarcopenia and 2.19 times more likely in patients with severe sarcopenia.
the highest prevalence was of probable sarcopenia, and the characteristics associated with sarcopenia were sex, osteoporosis, polypharmacy, overweight, obesity, and calf circumference.
在初级保健单位中确定老年人肌少症的患病率和相关特征。
这是一项横断面研究，共纳入 384 名老年人。为了评估肌少症，我们测量了：力量和肌肉量，以及身体表现。老年人被分为：可能患有肌少症；肌少症；或严重肌少症。使用卡方检验和多项逻辑回归方法。
可能患有肌少症的患病率为 25.52%；肌少症的患病率为 11.98%；严重肌少症的患病率为 9.90%。男性中可能患有肌少症的患病率高出 1.75 倍；严重肌少症患者中骨质疏松症的患病率高出 2.16 倍；可能患有肌少症的个体中，多药治疗的可能性高出 1.57 倍；而肌少症和严重肌少症患者的小腿围小于 31 厘米的可能性分别高出 2.24 倍和 2.19 倍。
最高的患病率是可能患有肌少症，而与肌少症相关的特征是性别、骨质疏松症、多药治疗、超重、肥胖和小腿围。
