Abstract

Adequate body composition is essential for health, function, and independence in older adults. However, standard body composition assessments require complex and costly modalities, limiting their use for early detection of body composition changes and periodic follow-up. This study explored the ability of three practical measures-handgrip strength, five times sit-to-stand test, and upper limb loading during seated push-up test (ULL-SPUT)-to determine body composition in 109 older adults with and without sarcopenia. Participants (average age 76 years) were cross-sectionally measured for outcomes of the study. The ULL-SPUT and handgrip strength, but not the five times sit-to-stand test, significantly correlated with body composition (rs, r = .297-.827, p < .01). The ULL-SPUT, in combination with demographic data, could determine body composition up to 82%. Therefore, the ULL-SPUT may be a practical preliminary measure to identify older adults for whom standard body composition assessments and follow-up would prove timely and beneficial.

使用实际测量数据测定社区居住的患有和不患有肌肉萎缩症的老年人的身体成分。

充足的身体成分对老年人的健康、功能和独立性至关重要。然而，标准的身体成分评估需要复杂而昂贵的方法，限制了其用于早期检测身体成分变化和定期随访的用途。本研究探讨了三项实用测量握力、五次坐立式测试和坐式俯卧撑测试（ULL-SPUT）中上肢负荷的能力，以确定109名患有和不患有少肌症的老年人的身体成分。对参与者（平均年龄76岁）的研究结果进行了横断面测量。ULL-SPUT和握力与身体成分显著相关（rs，r=.297-.227，p<.01），而不是五次坐立式测试。ULL-SPUT与人口统计数据相结合，可以确定高达82%的身体成分。因此，ULL-SPUT可能是一种实用的初步措施，可以确定标准身体成分评估和随访对老年人来说是及时和有益的。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Aging and Physical Activity (JAPA) is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes peer-reviewed original research reports, scholarly reviews, and professional-application articles on the relationship between physical activity and the aging process. The journal encourages the submission of articles that can contribute to an understanding of (a) the impact of physical activity on physiological, psychological, and social aspects of older adults and (b) the effect of advancing age or the aging process on physical activity among older adults. In addition to publishing research reports and reviews, JAPA publishes articles that examine the development, implementation, and evaluation of physical activity programs among older adults. Articles from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences, as well as from fields such as medicine, clinical psychology, physical and recreational therapy, health, physical education, and recreation, are appropriate for the journal. Studies using animal models do not fit within our mission statement and should be submitted elsewhere.
