ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Population-specific muscle mass cut-off values are recommended for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. In this study, we aimed to determine the appendicular muscle mass index (ASMI) and phase angle (PA) cut-off values for the Turkish population using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (mBIA). PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 250 healthy volunteers aged 18-40 years were included in the study between September 2020 and December 2021. PA was measured by mBIA, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) was calculated by the Sergi formula using the resistance and reactance measurements from mBIA. ASMI was calculated as ASM (kg)/(height in meters)2. Two standard deviations (SD) below the mean values were accepted as cut-off points. RESULTS: 134 women and 116 men were included in the study (26.0±5.6 years). The ASMI cut-offs for men and women were 5.86 and 4.36 kg/m2, respectively. The PA cut-offs were 5.66° in men and 4.38° in women. CONCLUSIONS: The present study reported the ASMI and PA cut-off values specific to the Turkish population using the Sergi formula, which was suggested by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP).

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Malnutrition is related to increased morbidity, mortality, and costs. NRS-2002 is a practical malnutrition risk (MR) screening tool approved by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) for inpatients. We aimed to reveal the inpatient MR using NRS-2002, and to examine the relationship between MR and in-hospital mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The results of inpatient nutritional screening in a tertiary referral center university hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The NRS-2002 test was used for defining MR. Comorbidities, initial and follow-up anthropometric data, NRS-2002 score, food intake, weight status, and laboratory analysis were examined. In-hospital mortality was noted. RESULTS: Data from 5,999 patients were evaluated. On admission, 49.8% of the patients had MR, and 17.3% had severe MR (sMR). MR-sMR was higher in geriatric patients (62.0-28.5%). Those with dementia had the highest MR (71%), followed by stroke (66%) and malignancy (62%). Age and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were higher, and body weight, BMI, serum albumin, and creatinine were lower in patients with MR. Multivariate analysis showed that age, albumin, CRP, congestive heart failure (CHF), malignancy, dementia, and stroke were independently associated with MR. The overall mortality rate during hospitalization was 7.9%. MR was associated with mortality regardless of serum CRP, albumin, body mass index (BMI), and age. Half of the patients received nutritional treatment (NT). NT resulted in preserved or increased body weight and albumin levels among patients and the geriatric group with MR. CONCLUSIONS: AMR revealed that NRS-2002 is positive in approximately half of the hospitalized patients, which is associated with in-hospital mortality independent of the underlying diseases. NT is related to weight gain and increased serum albumin.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus (DM), sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity (SO) in the elderly were related to frailty, morbidity, and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of diabetes mellitus to the prevalence of SO in a nursing home residents. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 397 old-aged (≥65 years) nursing home residents dwelling in Darulaceze Directorate Kayisdagi Campus of Istanbul. Exclusion criteria included <65 years of age, residing for less than a month, acute medical problems, and severe cognitive impairment (mini-mental state examination test score ≤10). Demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, nutritional status, and handgrip strength were evaluated for each participant. Sarcopenia was defined according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) II criteria and obesity was defined with body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2. SO was the concomitant existence of sarcopenia and obesity together. RESULTS: Mean age of the participants was 77.95±7.94 (65-101) years (n=397). The prevalence of probable sarcopenia was significantly higher in non-obese patients when compared to obese (48.1% vs. 29.3%, p=0.014), which was similar after the exclusion of malnourished residents. In DM patients (n=63), the prevalence of obesity, probable sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were 30.2%, 42.2%, and 13.3%, which were 20.4%, 43.2%, and 6.5% in non-DM residents, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Although they did not reach statistical significance, obesity and sarcopenic obesity were more prevalent among diabetic patients in a nursing home.
