Abstract

[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the presence or absence of locomotive syndrome as determined by two-step and stand-up tests, which measure physical ability as well as the characteristics of physical function and body composition among community-dwelling older females. [Participants and Methods] The study included 36 community-dwelling older females (aged 75.3 ± 6.0 years), who were classified into two groups: those with and without locomotive syndrome following the locomotive syndrome criteria. Their physical function and body composition were evaluated and compared. [Results] No significant differences in body composition were observed between participants with and without locomotive syndrome, as defined by the locomotive syndrome criteria. However, significant differences were noted in grip strength on the left side and open-eyed one-legged standing, 5-m comfortable walking speed and the timed up-and-go test on both the right and left sides. [Conclusion] The results indicate that physical function is a valuable criterion for evaluating the older populations. However, components of body composition that reflect physical condition and function require validation.

社区老年女性伴与不伴运动综合征的身体功能及身体成分特征。
【目的】本研究旨在通过两步测试和站立测试来确定社区老年女性是否存在运动综合征,这两项测试测量了她们的身体能力以及身体功能和身体组成的特征。【对象与方法】选取36例社区老年女性(75.3±6.0岁),按机车综合征标准分为有机车综合征组和无机车综合征组。对两组患者的身体机能和身体成分进行评价和比较。[结果]根据机车综合征标准,有机车综合征和没有机车综合征的参与者在身体组成上没有显著差异。然而,在左侧握力和睁着眼睛的单腿站立、5米舒适步行速度和左右两侧的计时上下测试中,发现了显著差异。[结论]身体机能是评价老年人健康状况的重要指标。然而,反映身体状况和功能的身体成分需要验证。
