Sarcopenia in older people with multiple sclerosis: A cross-sectional study
Background
Older people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) make up over one-third of the MS population. Ageing increases the risk of sarcopenia, characterised by reduced muscle mass, strength, and function. MS symptoms likely exacerbate sarcopenia, but its impact on older pwMS remains largely unexplored
Objectives
The primary aim of this study was to investigate how the diagnosis of sarcopenia using the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWGSOP2) diagnostic tool in older pwMS is influenced by using upper extremity-based or lower extremity-based tests.
Methods
The present cross-sectional study analysed baseline data from the PoTOMS trial. A total of n = 41 older pwMS and n = 27 healthy controls (HC) were included. Participants were assessed for sarcopenia using the EWGSOP2 diagnostic tools and a lower extremity muscle strength test.
Results
Older pwMS had a preferentially lower muscle mass and strength in the lower extremities compared to HC. According to EWGSOP2 criteria, 5 % of older pwMS had reduced upper extremity strength, 7 % had reduced lower extremity strength, and 15 % had sarcopenic muscle mass. However, only 5 % were diagnosed with sarcopenia despite these reductions.
Conclusion
The present study shows that the sarcopenia diagnosis in older pwMS is more sensitive when using a lower extremity test, underlined by the preferentially lower muscle mass and strength in older pwMS compared to HC. Hence, when evaluating sarcopenia in older pwMS the diagnostics test should rely on the lower extremity test.
期刊介绍:
Multiple Sclerosis is an area of ever expanding research and escalating publications. Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders is a wide ranging international journal supported by key researchers from all neuroscience domains that focus on MS and associated disease of the central nervous system. The primary aim of this new journal is the rapid publication of high quality original research in the field. Important secondary aims will be timely updates and editorials on important scientific and clinical care advances, controversies in the field, and invited opinion articles from current thought leaders on topical issues. One section of the journal will focus on teaching, written to enhance the practice of community and academic neurologists involved in the care of MS patients. Summaries of key articles written for a lay audience will be provided as an on-line resource.
A team of four chief editors is supported by leading section editors who will commission and appraise original and review articles concerning: clinical neurology, neuroimaging, neuropathology, neuroepidemiology, therapeutics, genetics / transcriptomics, experimental models, neuroimmunology, biomarkers, neuropsychology, neurorehabilitation, measurement scales, teaching, neuroethics and lay communication.
