The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People-2 (EWGSOP-2) recommends measuring handgrip strength (HGS) or the 5-times-repeated-Chair-Stand-Test (5t-CST) to assess muscle strength. The modified-thirty-seconds-Chair-Stand-Test (m-30s-CST) is expected to be more feasible than the 5t-CST and probably a better proxy for physical function compared to HGS. The aim of the study is to test the feasibility and reliability of the m-30s-CST in these patients.Methods: 92 patients (aged 84±6 y, mean GFI score of 6.1± 2.9, 53.5% female) participated. The m-30s-CST was performed at 3 different occasions. Feasibility was measured at admission and test-retest reliability at the day before and of discharge. Additionally Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), ADL-Barthel-Index (ADL-BI) and HGS were assessed.Results: The m-30s-CST is a significant more feasible test compared to the 5t-CST (n=92; 76.1% versus 20.1%; P<0.001), with a intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.954 (n=59; CI-95%:0.921-0.973; P<0.001). The m-30s-CST has compared to HGS a significant better correlation with the ADL-BI and with the SPPB.Conclusion: The m-30s-CST is a feasible and reliable method to assess muscle strength and is compared to HGS a better proxy for physical performance in geriatric patients.","PeriodicalId":73754,"journal":{"name":"Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls","volume":"10 1","pages":"8-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11872254/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It refers to an individual's perceived physical ability to prevent and manage falls. Despite its significance, falls efficacy remains under-researched. This article highlights three findings to encourage clinical practitioners to integrate falls efficacy assessments into practice for hospitalised and community-dwelling seniors. Hospitalised seniors face reduced mobility and deconditioning, significantly lowering falls efficacy. Conversely, community-dwelling seniors exhibit higher falls efficacy due to greater functioning levels and independence, though some may lack the physical capacity to mitigate falls. Differentiating between domains of falls efficacy is crucial, as confidence expressed by individuals in their specific physical abilities may vary. Seniors displaying discordance between their confidence and actual falls risk may be more vulnerable to falls. Our analysis reveals that 45% of hospitalised seniors and 19% of community-dwelling seniors exhibited such discordance. Incorporating falls efficacy assessments into clinical practice can help identify at-risk individuals, enable personalised interventions, and facilitate safer transitions post-discharge. Understanding the interplay between psychological and physical dimensions of falls risk is essential for improving older adults' quality of life and independence.","PeriodicalId":73754,"journal":{"name":"Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls","volume":"10 1","pages":"48-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11872249/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FC was measured at the site of maximum swelling using a tape measure. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to develop an equation for estimating BIA-measured ALM using FC. Moreover, we investigated a systematic error by Bland-Altman analysis between BIA-measured ALM and ALM calculated by the estimation equation.Results: We developed the four estimation equations.

Spearman correlations, logistical regression, and ordinal regression analysis were performed.Results: 38.2% of participants were robust, 48.9% pre-frail, and 12.9% frail.

Pre-frail individuals were more likely to have fall risk than non-frail individuals. Individuals with low CaF were 6 times less likely to have fall risk than those with high CaF. Ordinal logistic regressions revealed that for individuals with no CaF and no fall risk, the odds of being frail were 69.5% and 86.7% lower, respectively, than those with high CaF and high fall risk.Conclusions: Frailty relationships with fall risk and CaF indicate the importance of addressing frailty to aid in fall prevention in older adults.

This study aimed to evaluate whether frailty significantly affects early continence rates following radical prostatectomy and to explore the potential association between frailty and postoperative complications.Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 212 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy was conducted. Preoperative frailty assessment employed a multimodal evaluation encompassing cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, and urinary systems, supplemented by conventional risk measures such as physical performance status and biochemical markers. The primary endpoint was early continence recovery, while secondary outcomes included 30-day postoperative complications.Results: Comparative analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics, oncological outcomes, or complication rates between the open and robotic-assisted surgical cohorts. However, frailty was strongly associated with reduced early continence recovery, irrespective of surgical technique (p<0.001). No significant association was detected between frailty and 30-day postoperative complications (p=0.36).Conclusions: This study highlights frailty as a pivotal predictor of early continence outcomes. The lack of association between frailty and postoperative complications suggests that comprehensive frailty assessment may be more relevant for anticipating functional recovery than predicting immediate surgical risks. These findings support integrating frailty evaluation into preoperative decision-making frameworks.","PeriodicalId":73754,"journal":{"name":"Journal of frailty, sarcopenia and falls","volume":"10 1","pages":"28-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11872250/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143543909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No research to date has examined how experiences of falls and related concerns, differ between middle-aged and older fallers. This study aimed to address this using qualitative interviews.Methods: Ten middle-aged (55-64 years) and ten older adults (68-83 years) were interviewed about their experiences of falls and concerns about falling. Guided by a social constructivist epistemology, reflexive thematic analysis was used to categorise themes within the data.Results: Five overarching themes were identified. Four themes showed distinctions between groups (i) perceptions of age-related decline; (ii) ageism: stigma associated with 'fallers'; (iii) concerns about loss of independence; and (iv) unravelling perceived control. The fifth theme (v) perceptions of falls risk: concerns and awareness, demonstrated the most similarities.Conclusions: Whilst middle-aged and older fallers showed similar ratings of concern about falling, the behaviours underlying these were qualitatively different. For older adults, concerns led to protective adaptations to reduce their fall risk. Contrastingly, middle-aged adults showed a lack of personal responsibility over their fall risk.
