Abstract

Aim: The Finger-ring Test is valued for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. This has prompted a systematic literature review to evaluate the effectiveness of the Finger-ring Test in the assessment of sarcopenia.

Methods: Research studies in various online databases were accessed and perused, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Ovid, Embase, Medline and the Cochrane Database to identify relevant observational studies without any language restriction from database access to July 2024. To avoid missing any relevant matches, searches targeted specific words typically associated with the Finger-ring Test, such as Yubu-wakka Test and the Finger-circle Test. The research quality was evaluated using the ROBINS-E tool. A meta-analysis was performed using the SPSS software version 29. The review protocol was registered on PROSPERO, with the assigned ID CRD42024593561.

Results: From a total of 286 studies, only four studies met the inclusion criteria. From a total of 2754 participants, the mean age of the participants was 68.35 ± 2.57 years. The pooled association of each group of the Finger-ring Test with sarcopenia showed the bigger group (OR 2.47; 95% CI 1.42-4.28; I² = 64%), just fit group (OR 0.30; 95% CI 0.13-0.67; I² = 75%) and the smaller group (OR 0.16; 95% CI 0.08-0.32; I² = 62%).

Conclusions: This systematic review shows that the Finger-ring Test offers a practical method to identify older adults at risk of sarcopenia. These outcomes might serve as valuable indicators for creating public health initiatives in both the prevention and the management of sarcopenia. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; ••: ••-••.

与标准测试相比，无名指测试作为老年患者肌肉减少症预测指标的效果：一项系统回顾和荟萃分析。

目的：指环测试因其简单和成本效益而受到重视。这促使了一项系统的文献综述，以评估手指环试验在评估肌肉减少症中的有效性。方法：对PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus、Ovid、Embase、Medline、Cochrane数据库等多个在线数据库的研究进行检索和阅读，筛选截至2024年7月的无语言限制的相关观察性研究。为了避免错过任何相关的匹配，搜索的目标通常是与无名指测试相关的特定单词，如Yubu-wakka测试和手指圈测试。采用ROBINS-E工具评价研究质量。采用SPSS软件29进行meta分析。审查方案在PROSPERO上注册，分配的ID为CRD42024593561。结果：286项研究中，只有4项研究符合纳入标准。共有2754名参与者，平均年龄为68.35±2.57岁。各组手指环试验与肌肉减少症的合并相关性显示，组间相关性更大(OR 2.47；95% ci 1.42-4.28；I2 = 64%)，刚拟合组(OR 0.30；95% ci 0.13-0.67；I2 = 75%)和较小的组(OR 0.16；95% ci 0.08-0.32；i2 = 62%)。结论：本系统综述显示，无名指测试提供了一种实用的方法来识别老年人有肌少症的风险。这些结果可以作为在预防和管理肌肉减少症方面制定公共卫生举措的有价值的指标。Geriatr Gerontol 2025；••: ••-••.
