“…To our knowledge, this is the first report on the prevalence of sarcopenia in hospitalized patients with respect to their dependent ambulation status. Most previous studies of sarcopenia in hospitalized patients 2 , 10 , 12 and institutionalized elderly 7 – 9 excluded those who could not walk or were bedridden. Smoliner et al 13 included all admitted patients, but some could not engage in functional tests or HGS, although all of them could perform either of the tests.…”

“…Sarcopenia, a geriatric syndrome associated with the decline of muscle mass and strength, 1 is a predictor of poor outcomes, including mortality, disability, and poor quality of life 1 – 3 . The prevalence of sarcopenia differs among settings, with values of 1%–40% in community‐dwelling elderly, 4 – 6 29%–85% in institutionalized elderly, 7 – 9 and 22%–37% in hospitalized patients 2 , 10 – 13 . Diagnostic methods for sarcopenia commonly rely on measurements of muscle mass, gait speed, physical performance, and handgrip strength (HGS).…”

“…Most studies in elderly individuals in the institutional and hospital settings exclude those who cannot walk or are bedridden and do not include HGS assessments 2 , 7 – 13 . However, the elderly in these settings more frequently exhibit physical dysfunction in ambulatory status 16 – 19 ; they need help to walk, use wheelchairs, or are immobile.…”

Objective: Dynapenia is the age-associated loss of muscle strength without neurological or muscular disease. It is associated with physical dependence, low physical performance, falls, cognitive impairment and increased mortality in the elderly. Obesity incidence increases rapidly in the elderly, but in the literature, there are limited studies on dynapenic obesity and its complications. We aimed to determine the frequency of dynapenia in elderly obese patients, examine the effect of dynapenic obesity on the functionality and the nutritional state and increase awareness of dynapenic obesity. Materials and Methods:177 obese elderly admitted to geriatrics and endocrinology clinics divided into two groups as dynapenic or non-dynapenic according to last diagnostic criteria, depending on handgrip strength. Demographic and laboratory data, Activities of daily living, Instrumental Activities of Daily-Living, Mini-Nutritional Assessment, body mass index, and handgrip strength were also investigated. Differences between the two groups were analysed by the SPSS 20.0 program. Results: 17.5% of the subjects had dynapenia. Dynapenic elderly were older (p=0.028), had lower mini-nutritional test scores (p= 0.009), activities of daily living (p=0.007), instrumental activities of daily living (p <0.001), creatinine levels (p=0.023), and albumin levels (p=0.049). Conclusion: Dynapenic obese patients have a higher risk of disability and malnutrition than obese patients. Realising the natural history of patients with dynapenia and obesity is critically needed.

“…The same is true for recommended muscle mass measurement tools DEXA and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) [2]; however, in contrast to the other components of the algorithm, these tools are not available everywhere, need specialized personnel to be performed, are more expensive and not very popular even among geriatricians [19]. Not-withstanding, there are an increasing number of reports that use the algorithm using CC as the muscle mass measurement [20–25]. …”

Introduction Calf circumference is a surrogate measurement of muscle mass. However, there is scarce evidence on its validity in predicting adverse outcomes such as mobility disability. The aim of this report is to determine if calf circumference could predict incident mobility disability in Mexican 60-year or older adults. Methods This is a secondary analysis of the Mexican Health and Aging Study and in particular of its two first waves. Sixty-year or older adults without mobility disability in the first assessment were included and followed-up for two years. Calf circumference quartile groups were compared to test the difference of incident mobility disability. Logistic regression models were fitted to test the independent association when including confounding variables. Results A total of 745 older adults were assessed, from which 24.4% of the older adults developed mobility disability at follow-up. A calf circumference > 38 cm was associated with a higher risk of developing mobility disability, even after adjustment in the multivariate model, with an odds ratio 0.55 (95% confidence interval 0.31–0.99, P = 0.049). Conclusions High calf circumference in Mexican older adults is independently associated with incident mobility disability. This could reflect the impact of adverse health conditions such as obesity (with high fat tissue) or edema. Further research should aim at testing these results in different populations.
