Musculoskeletal Factors and Geriatric Syndromes Related to the Absence of Musculoskeletal Degenerative Disease in Elderly People Aged over 70 Years

Abstract: Purpose. To investigate factors with a significant relationship with the absence of musculoskeletal disease (MSD: osteoporosis, knee osteoarthritis (K-OA), and lumbar spondylosis (L-OA)) in elderly people ≥70 years old. Methods. The subjects were 279 people (134 males, 145 females, mean age: 75.2 years) who attended an annual health checkup and were prospectively included in the study. Osteoporosis was defined as %YAM ≤70%, K-OA as Kellgren–Lawrence grade ≥2, and L-OA as osteophytes of Nathan class ≥3. Subject… Show more

“…It has been reported that the SF-36 score of LS individuals is lower than non-LS individuals 15 ) , but these studies were conducted on LS participants judged only by the 25-question geriatric locomotive function scale (GLFS) and not LS including physical function assessment. In addition, it has been reported that HRQoL declines with physical function in both LS and physical pre-frailty 13 , 16 ) , but we have not found a report that clarifies HRQoL in community-dwelling older people with LS and physical pre-frailty. Furthermore, the characteristics of physical function and HRQoL of community-dwelling older adults with pre-frailty, which is the preliminary stage of physical frailty, has not been clarified.…”

“… 3 , 4 ) There are several risk factors that contribute to LS, such as aging, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and lumbar spinal canal stenosis. 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ) Moreover, women have a higher prevalence of LS than men because the levels of testosterone, which promotes muscle development, differ between men and women. 9 ) Several recent reports have found that exercise intervention can lead to positive effects on locomotive function.…”

“…We recently investigated orthopedic, geriatric and physical factors with a significant relationship with the absence of MSD in 279 older people as a preliminary study in a two-group comparison in an annual health checkup. 5 However, that study included only older adults aged ≥70 years, and did not allow a multivariate analysis to detect independent factors associated with the absence of MSD in all middle-aged and older people. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to identify the factors related to the absence of MSD in all middle-aged and older people using multivariate logistic regression analysis of the orthopedic, geriatric and physical factors examined in the preliminary study.…”
