Abstract

Background & Objectives: Stroke-related sarcopenia and language disorder are main sequelae of stroke. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between language function and body composition characteristics in patients with subacute left hemiplegic stroke. Methods: Body mass index, skeletal muscle index (SMI), and body fat percentage using bioimpedance analysis, hand grip strength, and Medical Research Council (MRC) sum score were evaluated. Language function was evaluated using the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB). A partial correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between body composition and language function. Results: A total of 54 patients with subacute left hemispheric stroke were enrolled in the study. The aphasia quotient (AQ) of WAB was significantly correlated with SMI, body fat percentage, MRC-sum score, MRC-sum score of unaffected side and hand grip strength. In the multiple regression analysis after adjusting for age and sex, the AQ of WAB was significantly correlated with SMI. Conclusions: Skeletal muscle index showed highest correlation with language function in patients with left hemispheric stroke.

亚急性左半球脑卒中患者的语言功能与身体成分特征之间的关系

背景与目的：中风相关的肌肉疏松症和语言障碍是中风的主要后遗症。本研究旨在评估亚急性左侧偏瘫中风患者的语言功能与身体成分特征之间的关联。研究方法采用生物阻抗分析法评估体重指数、骨骼肌指数（SMI）和体脂百分比、手部握力和医学研究委员会（MRC）总分。语言功能使用西方失语测试法（WAB）进行评估。采用偏相关分析评估身体成分与语言功能之间的关系。结果共有 54 名亚急性左半球脑卒中患者参加了研究。WAB的失语商数（AQ）与SMI、体脂率、MRC-sum评分、非受影响侧MRC-sum评分和手握力显著相关。在调整年龄和性别后进行的多元回归分析中，WAB 的 AQ 与 SMI 显著相关。结论左侧大脑半球卒中患者的骨骼肌指数与语言功能的相关性最高。
