Sarcopenia in elderly adults from the Santa Ana Neighborhood Family Health Unit 2024
Abstract
Introduction: Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle strength associated with a decre- ase in muscle mass and/or functionality, which can lead to frailty syndrome, dependence, and death in older adults.
Objective: To determine the frequency of sarcopenia in adults over 75 years old in the Fa- mily Health Unit of the Santa Ana neighborhood.
Materials and Methods: Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with non-pro- babilistic convenience sampling. Patients of both sexes aged 75 years and older were included. The SARC-F questionnaire was applied, and anthropometric measurements and handgrip strength were taken. Statistical analysis was performed using Epi Info 7.2 6.0 software.
Results: A total of 62 adults participated, 64.52% (n=40) were female. The age range was 75 to 92 years. According to the nutritional diagnosis, 35.48% (n=22) were overweight. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 4.84% (n=3) of the population, and 50% (n=31) presented probable sarcopenia.
Conclusion: The frequency of sarcopenia found in this population was lower than the global rate; on the other hand, the figures for probable sarcopenia were similar to those found in Latin America.
