Sarcopenia is associated with lower quality of life scores among community-dwelling older Filipinos: Findings from a cross-sectional study.
Background and objectives: Sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive decline in muscle mass and strength, is a significant concern among older individuals, impacting their functionality and overall quality of life (QOL). The relationship between sarcopenia and QOL among Filipino older adults remains underexplored. Thus, the study aims to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and its association with the QOL of community-dwelling older adults in selected Philippine cities.
Design: This cross-sectional study used convenience sampling in the selection of the cities. Participants were randomly selected from the list provided by each local city government.
Setting and participants: 536 apparently healthy community-dwelling Filipino older adults from three major islands in the Philippines.
Methods: Sarcopenia was determined using the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria which is the presence of low muscle mass, plus low muscle strength, and/or low physical performance. Quality of life was assessed using the culturally-validated WHO-QOL short form questionnaire. Mixed Model logistic regression adjusted for covariates was performed to study the association of sarcopenia indicators to quality of life.
Results: 24.3 % of older Filipinos were found to have sarcopenia. Sarcopenic community-dwelling older adults had significantly decreased odds of attaining higher score in the physical domain (OR 0.63; 0.40-0.98), psychological domain (OR 0.55; CI 0.35-0.84), and overall quality of life (OR 0.57; CI 0.37-0.89) than the non-sarcopenic group.
Conclusion: One in four community-dwelling Filipino older adults met the sarcopenia criteria. Sarcopenia is associated with decreased QOL scores, particularly in the physical health and psychological health domains. Sarcopenia needs to be considered in the context of public health to come up with targeted nutrition and health interventions for improved QOL.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Frailty & Aging is a peer-reviewed international journal aimed at presenting articles that are related to research in the area of aging and age-related (sub)clinical conditions. In particular, the journal publishes high-quality papers describing and discussing social, biological, and clinical features underlying the onset and development of frailty in older persons. The Journal of Frailty & Aging is composed by five different sections: - Biology of frailty and aging In this section, the journal presents reports from preclinical studies and experiences focused at identifying, describing, and understanding the subclinical pathophysiological mechanisms at the basis of frailty and aging. - Physical frailty and age-related body composition modifications Studies exploring the physical and functional components of frailty are contained in this section. Moreover, since body composition plays a major role in determining physical frailty and, at the same time, represents the most evident feature of the aging process, special attention is given to studies focused on sarcopenia and obesity at older age. - Neurosciences of frailty and aging The section presents results from studies exploring the cognitive and neurological aspects of frailty and age-related conditions. In particular, papers on neurodegenerative conditions of advanced age are welcomed. - Frailty and aging in clinical practice and public health This journal’s section is devoted at presenting studies on clinical issues of frailty and age-related conditions. This multidisciplinary section particularly welcomes reports from clinicians coming from different backgrounds and specialties dealing with the heterogeneous clinical manifestations of advanced age. Moreover, this part of the journal also contains reports on frailty- and age-related social and public health issues. - Clinical trials and therapeutics This final section contains all the manuscripts presenting data on (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) interventions aimed at preventing, delaying, or treating frailty and age-related conditions.The Journal of Frailty & Aging is a quarterly publication of original papers, review articles, case reports, controversies, letters to the Editor, and book reviews. Manuscripts will be evaluated by the editorial staff and, if suitable, by expert reviewers assigned by the editors. The journal particularly welcomes papers by researchers from different backgrounds and specialities who may want to share their views and experiences on the common themes of frailty and aging.The abstracting and indexing of the Journal of Frailty & Aging is covered by MEDLINE (approval by the National Library of Medicine in February 2016).
