Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing quality of life (QoL) of low-income older adults (LOAs) with sarcopenia.

Methods: A convenience sample of 125 older adults was recruited from Jeonbuk Province, South Korea. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire that included nutritional status, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21, and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument-Older Adults Module. Additionally, grip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass, were evaluated, along with the short physical performance battery.

Results: Sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia were observed in 43.2% and 56.8% of participants, respectively. Using multiple regression analysis, depression (β = -.40, p < .001), nutritional status (β = .24, p = .003), and anxiety (β = -.15, p = .042) were identified as factors affecting the QoL of the older adults in low-income groups with sarcopenia, the explanatory power of these variables was 44%.

Conclusion: The results of this study can be used to develop a nursing intervention program and establish policies to improve depression, anxiety, and nutritional status to enhance QoL of LOAs with sarcopenia.

影响低收入老年人肌肉减少症患者生活质量的因素:一项横断面研究。

目的:本研究旨在探讨影响低收入老年人肌肉减少症患者生活质量的因素。方法:从韩国全北道招募了125名老年人作为方便样本。数据收集使用自我报告问卷，包括营养状况、抑郁焦虑压力量表-21和世界卫生组织生活质量工具-老年人模块。此外，握力和阑尾骨骼肌质量，以及短期物理性能电池进行了评估。结果:43.2%的参与者出现肌肉减少症，56.8%的参与者出现严重肌肉减少症。采用多元回归分析，抑郁(β = -。40, p < .001)，营养状况(β = .24, p = .003)，焦虑(β = -。15, p = 0.042)被确定为影响低收入老年人肌肉减少症患者生活质量的因素，这些变量的解释能力为44%。结论:本研究结果可用于制定护理干预方案和制定改善抑郁、焦虑和营养状况的政策，以提高LOAs肌少症患者的生活质量。
