Kırıkkale İlinde Yaşayan Yaşlı Bireylerde Sarkopeni Taraması: Pilot Çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Kırıkkale ilinde yaşayan 65 yaş ve üzeri yaşlı bireylerde sarkopeni sıklığını belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya Kırıkkale Hürriyet Aile Sağlığı Merkezine kayıtlı 572 yaşlı birey dahil edildi. Demografik veriler oldu formu kaydedildi. Yaşlı bireylerin, kognitif durumları Standardize mini-mental testle, fiziksel performans kısa fiziksel performans bataryasıyla, fiziksel aktiviteleri yaşlılar için fiziksel aktivite ölçeği ile, sarkopeni taraması sarkopeni tarama testiyle değerlendirildi, el kavrama gücü baseline dijital el dinamometresiyle ve kas kütleleri inbody120 biyoimpedans analiz cihazı ile ölçüldü. Bulgular: Çalışmada 572 yaşlı bireyden 31'inde (%5,4) sarkopeni olduğu, 19'unda (%3,3) ise şiddetli sarkopeni olduğu ortaya çıktı. Sarkopeni prevalansı %5,4 olarak bulundu. Semptomatik risk ve sarkopeni durumu bireylerin cinsiyetlerine göre incelendiğinde erkek bireylerin %94,4'ünün (186 kişi) sağlıklı, %5,6'sının (11 kişi) semptomatik risk durumunda olduğu görüldü. Sarkopeni durumu erkekler açısından değerlendirildiğinde %94,9'unun (187 kişi) sarkopeni riski taşımadığı, %3,6'sının (7 kişi) sarkopeni, %1,5'inin (3 kişi) şiddetli sarkopeni olduğu saptandı. Kadın bireylerde %89,9'unun (337 kişi) sağlıklı, %10,1'inin (38 kişi) semptomatik risk durumunda olduğu görüldü. Sarkopeni durumu kadınlar açısından değerlendirildiğinde ise, %94,4'ünün (354 kişi) sarkopeni riski taşımadığı, %1,3'ünün (5 kişi) sarkopeni, %4,3'ünün (16 kişi) şiddetli sarkopeni olduğu saptandı. Sonuç: Yaşlı bireylerde sarkopeni varlığı göz ardı edilmemeli ve gerekli önleyici tedbirler alınmalıdır. Ek olarak, sarkopeni riski taşıyan yaşlı yetişkinlerin uygun egzersiz programlarına katılmaları teşvik edilmelidir.

SCREENING FOR SARCOPENIA IN OLDER ADULTS LIVING IN KIRIKKALE PROVINCE: A PILOT STUDY

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in individuals aged 65 and older residing in Kırıkkale province. Material and Methods: The study involved the assessment of 572 older adults registered at the Kırıkkale Hürriyet Family Health Center. Demographic data was collected through a case form. Cognitive status was assessed using the standardized mini-mental test, physical performance was assessed with the short physical performance battery, sarcopenia screening was conducted using the sarcopenia screening test, physical activities were measured using the physical activity scale for the elderly, handgrip strength was measured with the baseline digital hand dynamometer, and muscle masses were evaluated with the inbody120 bioimpedance analysis device. Results: The study revealed that out of 572 older adults, 31 (5.4%) had sarcopenia, with 19 (3.3%) of them having severe sarcopenia. The prevalence of sarcopenia was found to be 5.4%. When the symptomatic risk and sarcopenia status were examined according to the gender of the individuals, it was seen that 94.4% (186 people) of male individuals were healthy, and 5.6% (11 people) were at symptomatic risk. In terms of sarcopenia status, it was determined that 94.9% (187 individuals) of male individuals were not at risk of sarcopenia, 3.6% (7 individuals) had sarcopenia, and 1.5% (3 individuals) had severe sarcopenia. Among female individuals, 89.9% (337) were healthy, and 10.1% (38) were at symptomatic risk. In terms of sarcopenia status, 94.4% (354 people) of females were found to be at no risk of sarcopenia, 1.3% (5 people) had sarcopenia, and 4.3% (16 people) had severe sarcopenia. Conclusion: The existence of sarcopenia in older adults should not be overlooked, and necessary preventive measures should be taken. Additionally, older adults at risk of sarcopenia should be encouraged to participate in suitable exercise programs.
