“…This loss is higher in women than in men of the same age [ 33 , 40 ]. Some reasons have been suggested as possible causes, such as reduced oestrogen levels after menopause [ 11 ] and multiparity [ 12 ]. The hormonal alterations caused by the event of menopause generate a decrease in global muscle strength and an increased compression of the thoracic spine due to osteoporosis, directly interfering with the maximal inspiratory pressures [ 9 – 12 ].…”

“…In women, menopause causes hormonal changes and systemic alterations [ 10 , 11 ]. These hormonal alterations cause a decrease in muscle strength, decreased relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and increased compression of the thoracic spine due to osteoporosis, directly interfering with the functioning of the pulmonary system [ 10 ].…”

“…Although there is certain evidence in the literature that increasing the efficiency of respiratory muscles improves postural balance in elderly people [ 17 – 20 ], few investigations have been carried out considering the relationship between postural balance and objective measurements (such as maximal respiratory pressures) of muscle strength in exclusively female populations [ 17 , 21 ] associated with functions altered by the changes occurring during the aging process, and in addition to the subject’s reproductive history [ 11 , 12 , 15 ]. So, it is of extreme importance to develop research in this specific field in order to direct the assessments and consequently, the treatments for this population, considering objective evaluation techniques.…”

Background There is scarce evidence on changes at the functional level associated with the respiratory area in women. This study aims to analyse the relationship between inspiratory muscle strength and balance in women. Material and methods In this cross-sectional observational study, the sample consisted of groups according to the results obtained in the balance test. Inspiratory muscle weakness was defined as maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) ≤ 80% of the predictive value. MIP was carried out using through a mouthpiece, with an electronic manometer. Logistic regression model was used to examine if MIP predicts balance. Results 159 women participated in the study. Approximately 20% of them achieved balance ≤ 2 seconds and 18% presented MIP≤80%. MIP was associated with the time achieved in the one-leg support test. Subjects with MIP ≤ 80% of the predictive value show 3 times more risk of having a lower performance in the balance test (OR = 3.26). Conclusions Inspiratory muscle weakness is associated with deficient balance in this sample. It shows the need for multidimensional assessment and rehabilitation strategies for patients identified as having MIP weakness and/or balance disorders.

“…However, many risk factors were also reported to be associated with the risk and prognosis of geriatric hip fractures, such as supplementation of vitamin D3 ( 31 ), the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio ( 32 ), ferritin ( 33 ), and so on. Sarcopenia as an age-related and complex disease had attracted much attention in recent years ( 34 ). However, the relationship between sarcopenia and hip fractures was still not fully understood, as well as sarcopenia and osteoporosis ( 14 ).…”

BackgroundSarcopenia in geriatric hip fractures is attracting increased attention in recent years. This study aimed to explore the bibliometric characteristics and current status of sarcopenia research in hip fractures of older patients.MethodsPublications related to sarcopenia in geriatric hip fracture published between January 2000 and July 2022 were extracted from the Science Citation Index Expanded, and bibliometric and visualized studies were performed by VOSviewer, Citespace, and R.ResultsThe 1,223 articles used in our study were written by 6,326 authors from 1,879 organizations in 60 countries, published in 388 journals, and cited 37,198 references from 5,422 journals. The United States contributed the most publications (288 publications). The journal with the largest number of papers was Osteoporosis International (62 publications), and the Journals of Gerontology Series A - Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences had been more cited than any other journals in this field (3,302 citations). The University of Melbourne published the biggest number of papers (72 publications) focusing on sarcopenia in geriatric hip fractures while the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute had the largest citations (4,239 citations). Cawthon PM was the most productive and influential author in the field. keywords were classified into 6 clusters: Cluster 1 (sarcopenia in aging), Cluster 2 (osteoporosis), Cluster 3 (bone density), Cluster 4 (body composition), Cluster 5 (physical performance), and Cluster 6 (risk factor).ConclusionGeriatric hip fracture is one of the most significant health issues in the aging society. In the past 20 years, an increasing number of studies were performed to explore the relationship between sarcopenia and hip fracture in older adults. The United States showed the strongest influence in this field, including publication numbers, citations, institutions, funding agencies, and authorship. Sarcopenia in aging, osteoporosis, bone density, body composition, physical performance, and risk factors may become the future hotspots in this field.

“…Some limitations need to be declared. In women, depression and the hormonal profile are some risk factors for sarcopenia, functional decline, and dependence [ 66 , 67 , 68 ]. The logistic regression analysis did not use these and other relevant variables as adjustment variables.…”

Early detriment in the muscle mass quantity, quality, and functionality, determined by calf circumference (CC), phase angle (PA), gait time (GT), and grip strength (GSt), may be considered a risk factor for sarcopenia. Patterns derived from these parameters could timely identify an early stage of this disease. Thus, the present work aims to identify those patterns of muscle-related parameters and their association with sarcopenia in a cohort of older Mexican women with neural network analysis. Methods: Information from the functional decline patterns at the end of life, related factors, and associated costs study was used. A self-organizing map was used to analyze the information. A SOM is an unsupervised machine learning technique that projects input variables on a low-dimensional hexagonal grid that can be effectively utilized to visualize and explore properties of the data allowing to cluster individuals with similar age, GT, GSt, CC, and PA. An unadjusted logistic regression model assessed the probability of having sarcopenia given a particular cluster. Results: 250 women were evaluated. Mean age was 68.54 ± 5.99, sarcopenia was present in 31 (12.4%). Clusters 1 and 2 had similar GT, GSt, and CC values. Moreover, in cluster 1, women were older with higher PA values (p < 0.001). From cluster 3 upward, there is a trend of worse scores for every variable. Moreover, 100% of the participants in cluster 6 have sarcopenia (p < 0.001). Women in clusters 4 and 5 were 19.29 and 90 respectively, times more likely to develop sarcopenia than those from cluster 2 (p < 0.01). Conclusions: The joint use of age, GSt, GT, CC, and PA is strongly associated with the probability women have of presenting sarcopenia.
