“…As reported previously [17], the present study showed an association between physical functions and cognitive status which was maintained over time. In fact, several cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have sought relationships between HGS and cognitive status, nding that low levels of this type of strength are related to states of dementia [31][32][33][34].…”

“…Maximal handgrip strength (HGS) was measured using a dynamometer Takei TKK 5101 (Takei Scienti c Instruments, Japan), range 5-100 Kg with a precision 0.1 Kg. Participants sat with arm extended and parallel to the body, and without moving the wrist [17]. Two trials were recorded on both hands with at least 1-minute rest between them.…”

“…Upper body strength was assessed with the arm curl test [18] whose aim is to do as many arm curls as possible in 30 seconds holding a 2 kg (women) or 4 kg (men) dumbbell in the hand of the dominant arm [17]. Participants performed two repetitions (5-minutes apart), and the mean of these trials was used for analysis.…”

Background Follow-up of vitamin B12 and lipids status is essential in older people, being closely related to non-communicable diseases. Their relationships with cognitive and physical status are not clear. The purpose of this study was to analyze the evolution of vitamin B12 and related parameters, lipid and hematological profiles, and their relationships with cognitive and physical status among institutionalized elderly. Methods Sixty residents (68% women), ranged from 62 to 99 years (mean age 85.1 ± 5.5 and 80.6 ± 9.9 years for women and men, respectively) were recruited from three nursing homes in Madrid Community (Spain). Biomarkers (vitamin B12 and related parameters, lipid and hematological profiles), functional capacity (handgrip, arm and leg strength), and cognitive status (Mini-Mental State Examination) were evaluated four times at 3-month intervals. Results At the beginning of the study, 63% and 70% of the sample showed abnormal homocysteine and folate values, respectively. At the end of the year, abnormal homocysteine increased to 68%, abnormal folate values decreased to 50%. Throughout the year, serum folate showed a significant increase (14.9 vs. 16.3 nmol/L), (p < 0.05). Serum cobalamin (299 vs. 273 pmol/L). HDL-cholesterol (49.9 vs. 47.0 mg/dL) and triglyceride levels (102.4 vs. 123.2 mg/dL) showed a significant decrease and increase respectively in mean values (all p < 0.05). Serum cobalamin and HDL-cholesterol were the most important biomarkers associated with cognitive function (both p < 0.05). The most relevant biomarkers associated with poor physical strength depending on the body part analyzed were low concentrations of HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein A1, and albumin (all p < 0.05). Conclusions The evolution of lipid biomarkers, their significance with cognitive values, and association with handgrip, point to the importance of the handgrip measurement, a very simple test, as an important health marker. Both serum albumin and physical strength are important health markers in older people.

“…ASM was calculated as the sum of the lean mass in the bilateral upper and lower extremities 9) and standardized by dividing by the squared height (ASM/Ht 2 , kg/m 2 ). HGS was measured using a hand-grip dynamometer (T.K.K.5401; Takei Scientific Instruments, Tokyo, Japan), 10) as described previously. 11) Briefly, participants were asked to perform the following while sitting in a straight-backed chair with their feet flat on the floor: adduct and neutrally rotate the shoulder, flex the elbow to 90°, and place the forearm in a neutral position with the wrist between 0° and 30° extension and between 0° and 15° ulnar deviation.…”

Background: Spinal sarcopenia is receiving renewed attention as a cause of spinal sagittal imbalance. However, the relationships between spinal sarcopenia and spinal sagittal balance (SSB) have not been thoroughly investigated. We evaluated the relationships between SSB parameters and sarcopenic indices with lumbar paraspinal muscle (LPM) quantity and strength in healthy older adults. Methods: Twenty-four healthy community-dwelling older women were enrolled. Demographic variables, conventional sarcopenic indices, isometric back muscle strength, and SSB parameters, as well as results of functional examinations and lumbar spine computed tomography scan with LPM cross-sectional area (CSA) and density assessments, were examined. The independent effect on the sum of the total LPM CSA was determined using multivariable regression analysis adjusted for age, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, gait speed, handgrip strength, back extensor strength, and pelvic tilt (PT) angle. Results: PT angle was significantly correlated with the sum of the total LPM CSA and mean LPM density (r=-0.502, p=0.015 and r=0.504, p=0.014, respectively). Furthermore, PT angle was an independent factor for the sum of the total LPM CSA (β=-0.610, p=0.021) in the multivariate regression models (R 2 =0.320). Conclusion: Our data suggest that PT angle was significantly correlated with LPM CSA in healthy older women. To our knowledge, this is the first report to investigate the relationships of sarcopenic indices and spinal muscle degeneration with SSB.

dominantly female, widowed, mean age 77.3±9.9 years old. Depressive symptoms were present in 62.1% of institutionalized elderly. The cognitive decline was present in 37.87% of the institutionalized elderly. Conclusion: High prevalence of depressive symptoms and cognitive deficits were present in the elderly living in long-stay institutions surveyed. Given these facts, the health service in Brazil should be prepared to evaluate and treat institutionalized elderly, improving the quality of life of elderly patients.

Physical strength is associated with Mini‐Mental State Examination scores in Spanish institutionalized elderly

Abstract: Strength values were lower in older subjects in both sexes; this difference was higher in men than in women. Higher strength values were associated with better cognitive status, which was the most influencing variable, even more than sex and age.
