ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) published a revised definition of sarcopenia in 2018. There are few incidence studies of sarcopenia following the latest definition.OBJECTIVE:
To study prevalence, incidence proportion and incidence rate of sarcopenia in a simple random sample of older Swedish men using the EWGSOP2 definition.METHODS:
Men aged 69-81 were invited to participate in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOs) Sweden study. Of 2,004 included participants, 1,266 participants (mean age 75.1, SD 3.1 years) completed baseline and 5-year follow-up measurements. We assessed muscle strength by measuring grip strength and chair stands test, lean mass by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and physical performance by gait speed at baseline and follow-up. Sarcopenia prevalence and incidence were calculated according to the EWGSOP2 definition.RESULTS:
Sarcopenia prevalence increased from 5.6% at baseline to 12.0% at follow-up. During the mean 5.2-year follow-up period, 9.1% developed sarcopenia (incidence proportion), corresponding to an incidence rate of 1.8 per 100 person-years at risk while 39.4% of the participants with sarcopenia at baseline participating in follow-up reversed to no longer having confirmed sarcopenia at 5-year follow-up.CONCLUSION:
The prevalence of sarcopenia defined along EWGSOP2 criteria doubled within 5 years in older men, and more than a third of the study participants with sarcopenia at baseline did not have sarcopenia at follow-up. We conclude that sarcopenia is not a static condition.Palabras clave
