Abstract
To identify older surgical cancer patients at risk of decreased postoperative recovery of physical activity (PA), this study assesses whether preoperative radiological sarcopenia (RS) is associated with a decreased ability to return to baseline PA. RS was defined as decreased psoas muscle mass or -density by gender-specific cut-offs on CT-scans at level of vertebra L3. PA was assessed as steps/day measured with PA tracker and recovery of PA was defined as >90% of preoperative steps/day at 3 months postoperatively. Of 44 included patients aged 65 and over undergoing oncologic surgery, 18 patients (41%) showed RS. Seventeen patients (39%) returned to baseline PA, of which eight patients had RS (47%). RS was not associated with a return to baseline PA (OR: 1.38, 95%CI 0.39–4.92, p = 0.61). In this exploratory study, no association was found between preoperative RS and recovery of PA postoperatively.
期刊介绍:
There is increasing scientific and clinical interest in the interactions of nutrition and health as part of the aging process. This interest is due to the important role that nutrition plays throughout the life span. This role affects the growth and development of the body during childhood, affects the risk of acute and chronic diseases, the maintenance of physiological processes and the biological process of aging. A major aim of "The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging" is to contribute to the improvement of knowledge regarding the relationships between nutrition and the aging process from birth to old age.
