Depressive symptoms are a common cause of distress among geriatrics, significantly affecting the quality of life of older adults. Recently, studies have shown that a correlation exists between sarcopenia and depression. To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and depressive symptoms and identify the factors associated with sarcopenia, we systematically searched the SCOPUS, Science Direct, and PubMed databases for papers on sarcopenia and depressive symptoms published from 2012 to 2022. We reviewed the literature on sarcopenia, depressive symptom prevalence, the prevalence of subjects with both sarcopenia and depressive symptoms, and the factors associated with sarcopenia. Only cross-sectional studies were included. Nineteen articles met the inclusion criteria for review, with overall sarcopenia prevalence ranging from 3.9% to 41.7%. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was reported in seven studies, ranging from 8.09% to 40%. The most commonly used tools to diagnose sarcopenia and depressive symptoms were the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People consensus and the Geriatric Depression Scale, respectively. Being aged, malnourished, obese, having comorbidities (hypertension and diabetes), having impaired cognitive function, and having polypharmacy were found to be the factors associated with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia and depressive symptoms have been found to cause adverse health outcomes among older people. Appropriate nutritional assessments and interventions should be taken to manage these two geriatric conditions. Further studies should be planned, considering multidomain intervention strategies to improve sarcopenia and older people's mental health.","PeriodicalId":20784,"journal":{"name":"Psychogeriatrics","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138714817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People with FTD show language and emotional disturbances from onset, and communication problems usually affect people with FTD and their families even before diagnosis. These unique characteristics of FTD are not well understood and create substantial problems for people living with FTD and their families. This review explores the experiences of families of people living with FTD. Studies were selected and screened according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We searched four bibliographic databases for articles up to February 2021 to identify qualitative data on the experiences of families. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist for qualitative studies was used to assess all included studies. Of 235 identified articles, we included six studies in the qualitative synthesis. Meta-ethnography was conducted to interpret families' experiences of people living with FTD. The emergent concepts were synthesised into five themes: Something is wrong with my loved one; No one fully understands; Existential pain of caring for a loved one with FTD; Increased burden owing to specific FTD symptoms; and Forced to adapt to new and unique ways of living with a loved one with FTD. This review highlighted families' confusion and suffering (which began in the early stages of the disease, and sometimes before diagnosis) and the difficulty of communicating with people with FTD. These findings have implications for future practice, as they demonstrate the positive effect on family life of appropriate support that is provided early, rather than after the disease has progressed.</p>","PeriodicalId":20784,"journal":{"name":"Psychogeriatrics","volume":" ","pages":"530-543"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45336694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
