Hand Grip Strength and nutritional status in hospitalized oncological patients

Abstract: ResultsThis study evaluated 76 patients (56±17 years old, 35.5% female), 63.2% with Solid Tumors and 36.8% with Hematologic Tumors. According to the Patient Generated Subjective Global Assessment, 53.9% of the patients were moderately and severely malnourished and demonstrated functional capacity, according to the Handgrip Strength and Performance Index of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, of 47.9% and 32.2%, respectively. The functional capacity instruments showed a moderate agreement (Kappa=0.427, p<0.… Show more

“…In cancer patients, lower HGS values are associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes, such as longer hospital stays, poor quality of life, postoperative complications and mortality [33,36,50]. However, the measure is still seldom used in hospital and outpatient clinical practice, as there are no specific cutoff points for cancer patients and for the evaluation of reduced HGS values in non-elderly subjects [39,50].…”

“…Em razão do envelhecimento da população e do aumento da expectativa de vida dos idosos, o número de pacientes idosos com leucemia crônica aumenta em paralelo. Estudos evidenciam que idosos com tumores malignos são mais propensos à desnutrição, à redução da funcionalidade, à diminuição das capacidades cognitivas e ao aumento da inflamação, acarretando perda de massa corporal magra, maior gasto energético e aumento da termogênese [22][23][24][25] .…”
