Abstract

Objective: To relate the adductor pollicis muscle thickness of hospitalized elderly patients to sex and age.  Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, from May 2014 through April 2015, with a convenience sample of 119 elderly patients, hospitalized in a geriatric unit of a university hospital of Porto Alegre-RS, Brazil. The adductor pollicis muscle thickness values of the dominant and non-dominant hand were measured using a Lange® skinfold caliper. Student t-tests were used for both paired and independent data. Results: The mean age was 82.3±8.1 years (60 to 97 years) and the majority of the patients were female (62.2%). The mean adductor pollicis muscle thickness value in the total sample was 14.96±4.62mm and no significant difference was verified between dominant and non-dominant hand. Men presented significantly higher mean values than women in both hands (Dominant – men: 16.79±4.21mm; women: 13.99±4.39mm; Non-dominant – men: 16.58±4.13mm; women: 13.84±4.78mm). A weak inverse correlation was observed between the adductor pollicis muscle thickness and age in both hands (Dominant – r=-0.300; Nondominant – r=-0.308). It was also verified a significant difference between the means of the adductor pollicis muscle thickness and age group in both hands (Dominant: 60-79 years: 16.63±4.25mm; ≥80 years: 14.27±4.47mm; Non-dominant – 60-79 years: 16.47±394mm; ≥80 years: 14.10±4.90mm). Conclusion: In hospitalized elderly patients, the adductor pollicis muscle thickness was greater among younger individuals (60-79 years) and in males.
住院老年人拇指内收肌厚度:与性别、年龄的关系
目的:探讨老年住院患者拇内收肌厚度与性别、年龄的关系。材料与方法:从2014年5月至2015年4月,对119名在巴西阿雷格里港一所大学医院老年科住院的老年患者进行了一项横断面研究。使用Lange®皮褶卡尺测量优势手和非优势手的拇内收肌厚度值。配对数据和独立数据均采用学生t检验。结果:患者平均年龄为82.3±8.1岁(60 ~ 97岁),以女性居多(62.2%)。总样本中拇内收肌厚度平均值为14.96±4.62mm,优势手与非优势手之间无显著差异。男性双手的平均值明显高于女性(优势-男性:16.79±4.21mm;女人:13.99±4.39毫米;非显性——男性:16.58±4.13mm;女人:13.84±4.78毫米)。双手拇内收肌厚度与年龄呈弱负相关(优势- r=-0.300;非显性- r=-0.308)。双手拇内收肌厚度均值与年龄组差异有统计学意义(优势:60-79岁:16.63±4.25mm;≥80岁:14.27±4.47mm;非显性- 60-79岁:16.47±394mm;≥80年:14.10±4.90mm)。结论:在住院的老年患者中,年轻个体(60-79岁)和男性的拇内收肌厚度较大。
