背景:老年人有很高的肌肉骨骼,心肺,和心理健康问题。我们比较了呼吸肌的力量,心血管耐力,身体活动(PA),患有和不患有肌肉减少症的老年人之间的抑郁症。
方法:这项匹配的病例对照研究包括200名泰国老年人(100名有和没有肌肉减少症的参与者)。根据2019年肌肉减少症亚洲工作组的数据,参与者完成了手握测功机,6米步行测试,和生物阻抗分析用于肌肉减少症筛查。个人被要求评估他们的心血管耐力和呼吸肌力量,并完成一套问卷(即,抑郁症和PA)。有和没有肌肉减少症的参与者使用t检验进行比较,和方差分析用于亚组分析。
结果:患有肌少症的参与者的吸气肌力明显降低(p<0.001),功能容量(p=0.032),PA(p<0.001),抑郁评分(p<0.001)高于无肌肉减少症患者。重度肌少症患者呼吸肌力和PA显著降低,其次是那些患有肌少症的人,可能的肌少症,也没有肌肉减少症.患有严重肌肉减少症的老年人的抑郁评分高于患有肌肉减少症的老年人,可能的肌少症,或者没有肌肉减少症.
结论:患有肌肉减少症的老年人可能表现出更低的心肺功能,少PA,抑郁症高于没有肌肉减少症的患者。
BACKGROUND: Older adults have a high risk for musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory, and mental health problems. We compared respiratory muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, physical activity (PA), and
depression between older adults with and without sarcopenia.
METHODS: This matched
case-control study included 200 Thai older adults (100 participants with and without sarcopenia). According to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019, participants completed a handgrip dynamometer, a 6 m walk test, and bioimpedance analysis for sarcopenia screening. Individuals were required to evaluate their cardiovascular endurance and respiratory muscle strength and complete a set of questionnaires (i.e.,
depression and PA). Participants with and without sarcopenia were compared using a t-test, and ANOVA was used for subgroup analysis.
RESULTS: Participants with sarcopenia had significantly lower inspiratory muscle strength (p < 0.001), functional capacity (p = 0.032), PA (p < 0.001), and higher
depression scores (p < 0.001) than those without sarcopenia. Respiratory muscle strength and PA were significantly reduced in those with severe sarcopenia, followed by those with sarcopenia, possible sarcopenia, and no sarcopenia. Older adults with severe sarcopenia had higher
depression scores than those with sarcopenia, possible sarcopenia, or no sarcopenia.
CONCLUSIONS: Older adults with sarcopenia may exhibit lower cardiorespiratory performance, less PA, and higher depression than those without sarcopenia.
