摘要

在新冠肺炎大流行期间，评估和预防虚弱和少肌症尤为重要。自2020年以来，新冠疫情一直是虚弱和少肌症的新风险因素。喂食问题在患有中风、晚期痴呆、神经退行性疾病（帕金森病）或肌萎缩性吞咽困难的老年患者中很常见。3尽管在一些老年病房实施了谨慎的手喂食，但在香港，尤其是在养老院，鼻胃管喂食很常见。康复对帕金森病患者的运动和吞咽功能、日常生活活动和生活质量有着有益的影响。7，8普拉提运动似乎有助于改善帕金森病患者平衡和运动功能。

Editorial

Assessment and prevention of frailty and sarcopenia are of particular importance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2020, the pandemic has been a new risk factor for frailty and sarcopenia. Feeding problems are common among older patients who had a stroke, advanced dementia, neurologic degenerative diseases (parkinsonism), or sarcopenic dysphagia.3 Although careful hand feeding is implemented in some geriatric units, nasogastric tube feeding is common in Hong Kong, particularly in residential care homes. Rehabilitation has beneficial effects on motor and swallowing function, activities of daily living, and quality of life in patients with Parkinson disease.7,8 Pilates exercise seems to be useful to improve balance and motor function of patients with Parkinson disease.
