Study on the relationship between sarcopenia and multi-dimensional weakness in community elderly
Objective To explore the relationship between multidimensional weakness and sarcopenia among the elderly in com-munity,and the influencing factors of sarcopenia among the elderly.Methods From June 2023 to March 2024,a questionnaire sur-vey was conducted among 750 the elderly in the community with general information questionnaire,senile asthenia screening scale and sarcopenia scale.Descriptive comparison was used to compare the general situation of the elderly in the sarcopenia group and the non-sarcopenia group.T test was used to compare the multi-dimensional weakness of the elderly in the sarcopenia group and the non-sarcopenia group.Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of multi-dimensional weakness of the elderly in commu-nity on sarcopenia.Results There were 234 elderly people with sarcopenia,the incidence rate was 33.1%.Pearson correlation a-nalysis showed that all seven dimensions of weakness in the elderly were positively correlated with sarcopenia(r=0.160~0.596,P<0.01).Regression analysis showed that functional life ability,physical activity status,nutritional status,oral function,cognitive a-bility and emotional status were the risk factors of sarcopenia among the elderly in the community(OR>1,P<0.05).Conclusion We should pay attention to the multi-dimensional weakness of the elderly in the community,reduce the occurrence of sarcopenia,and improve the quality of life of the elderly in the community.
