| Objective:To understand the prevalence of sarcopenia and malnutrition through the diagnosis of sarcopenia and the screening of nutritional status in hospitalized patients over60 years old,and to explore the correlation between sarcopenia and nutritional status in hospitalized elderly patients as well as other related factors,so as to provide the basis for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in hospitalized elderly patients and the early nutritional intervention.Methods:A total of 177 elderly inpatients were screened out through inclusion and exclusion criteria.The SARC-Cal F screening scale for sarcopenia and the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia suitable for Asian people proposed by Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia in2019 were used to investigate the risk and prevalence of sarcopenia in elderly inpatients.The nutritional status was screened using MNA-SF scale,and the correlation between sarcopenia and the risk of developing sarcopenia and nutritional status was observed,as well as other relevant influencing factors of sarcopenia.Results: A total of 177 subjects were included in the study,including 80 males(45.00%)and 97 females(55.00%),with the average age of 72(65,83)years.1.In this study,we detected 21.50% of patients with sarcopenia,53.67% of patients with probable sarcopenia and 15.30% of patients with severe sarcopenia.And with age or a decrease in BMI,the prevalence of sarcopenia,possibly sarcopenia,and severe sarcopenia increases.2.In this study,we found that the proportion of patients at risk of sarcopenia was39.00%,and the proportion of patients at risk of malnutrition/malnutrition was 49.15%.There was a significant correlation between the risks of sarcopenia and sarcopenia and nutritional status in elderly hospitalized patients(P<0.05).3.Sarcopenia was also associated with age,BMI,albumin,hemoglobin,grip strength,chair stand test,and calf circumference(P<0.05).4.The increased BMI(P<0.001)and calf circumference(P=0.029)were the obstructive factors for the occurrence of sarcopenia in elderly hospitalized patients.Smoking history was a contributing factor for the occurrence of sarcopenia in elderly hospitalized patients.Compared with non-smokers,smokers’ risk of developing sarcopenia increased by 4.235times(P=0.008).Conclusion:(1)With the increase of age or the decrease of BMI,the prevalence of sarcopenia,possible sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia in hospitalized elderly patients will increase.(2)The risk of sarcopenia and sarcopenia in elderly inpatients are significantly correlated with nutritional status.(3)The sarcopenia in elderly inpatients is also related to age,BMI,albumin,hemoglobin,HGS,calf circumference,CST and other factors.(4)BMI and the increase of calf circumference are the obstacles to the occurrence of sarcopenia,and smoking history is the promotion factor of sarcopenia. |
