Exploring the effects of intensified nutrition combined with resistance exercise on physical function and activities of daily living in elderly patients with sarcopenia
Objective To observe the effects of intensified nutrition combined with resistance exercise on physical function and daily living ability in elderly patients with sarcopenia.Methods A total of 40 elderly patients with sarcopenia were divided into a control group and a study group,each with 20 cases.The control group was treated with resistance exercise,and the study group was treated with intensified nutrition combined with resistance exercise.Comparison was made on the muscle mass,muscle strength,gait test,activities of daily living score,and simple physical performance battery(SPPB)score before and after treatment,and the incidence of complications between the two groups.Results After treatment,the muscle mass,muscle strength,activities of daily living score and SPPB score in both groups were improved compared with those before treatment,and the gait test results were shortened compared with those before treatment;in the study group,the muscle mass was(4.59±0.52)kg/m2,the muscle strength was(44.77±2.61)kg,the activities of daily living score was(93.21±6.64)points and SPPB score was(10.08±1.39)points,which were higher than(4.06±0.43)kg/m2,(39.81±3.85)kg,(84.05±4.65)points and(8.61±1.72)points in the control group;the gait test results of(3.92±0.69)s in the study group was shorter than(5.15±0.74)s in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications of 5.00% in the study group was slightly lower than 10.00% in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion For elderly patients with sarcopenia,the combination of intensified nutrition and resistance exercise can significantly improve physical function and activities of daily living,with ideal results.
