Prevalência de sarcopenia em idosos: resultados de estudos transversais amplos em diferentes países

Abstract: ResumoA sarcopenia caracteriza-se pela perda generalizada e progressiva da força e massa muscular esquelética com o envelhecimento. Com o aumento da população idosa em ritmo acelerado em todo o mundo, torna-se necessário o maior entendimento dos fenômenos associados ao processo de envelhecimento. Portanto, descrever a frequência e distribuição desses fenômenos, tal como a sarcopenia, é um passo fundamental para se conhecer os componentes atrelados a sua ocorrência e promover a assistência à saúde direcionada a… Show more

“…After the age of 60, there is an increase in the prevalence of sarcopenia, and Brazil is ranked the second country in the world in this respect. Sarcopenia is often associated with low physical capacity, functional limitations, disability, comorbidities, social status, bad life habits, and falls 21 , and this set of factors is also related to the institutionalization of the elderly. A study that aimed to investigate the factors associated with sarcopenia in different age groups of Korean individuals found that in the 65-year or older age group there has been a higher occurrence of sarcopenia.…”

“…According to another systematic review 21 , sarcopenia is quite prevalent in this population, especially among women. The authors of this review found, in a study conducted in the USA with 4,504 individuals aged 60 years or more, that the total prevalence of sarcopenia was 7% among indicator score, while "walking days per week" (β=−0.14), "walking minutes per week" (β=−0.12), and "minutes of moderate activity per week" (β=−0.15) showed a weak association.…”

“…Em nossa investigação, embora a força muscular tenha sido não tenha sido avaliada, as proporções entre tabagistas com baixa massa muscular, característicos de estado sarcopênico tanto em homens (12,5%) como em mulheres (18,7%), foram levemente superiores das encontradas em outros estudos da literatura. Como na contribuição de Diz et al (2015) sobre a prevalência de sarcopenia em amostra baseada no Estudo Bem-Estar e Envelhecimento (SABE), usando a proposta de avaliação do European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP), estimada em 15,4% (DIZ et al, 2015). As proporções superiores de nosso estudo talvez se devam a amostra se constituir de tabagistas, dado que o tabagismo tem sido efetivamente associado a sarcopenia (STEFFL et al, 2015).…”
