BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is a significant geriatric syndrome with both health care expenditure and personal burden. Most recently, the European Working Group in Sarcopenia in Older Adults has established a consensus definition and assessment criteria for sarcopenia that includes a below-normal muscle mass and muscle function (either or both of below-normal muscle strength and physical performance). Using these criteria, work is needed to identify the prevalence and risk factors among the old, and those most susceptible to sarcopenia, the very old. This manuscript describes the recruitment and data collection methodology, and direct burden to participants, among a very old cohort residing in a residential aged care (RAC) setting. METHODS Eleven RAC facilities participated in the study. Potential participants were identified by the facility service manager and then randomised into the study. All participants gave self or substitute decision maker consent. Participants undertook a single one on one assessment that included measures of sarcopenia, functional capacity, cognitive and nutritional health, falls, activity, facility and hospital history, physical activity and assessment burden. A sub-study of physical activity and sedentary behaviours measured by activPAL3™ inclinometer was also conducted. RESULTS Of 709 residents, 328 were ineligible to participate. Two hundred and seventy-three residents were randomised to the study and 102 gave informed or substitute decision maker consent. Participants were 84.5 ± 8.2 years of age and had been in care for 1,204.2 ± 1,220.1 days. The groups need for care was high (Aged Care Funding Instrument score of 2.6 ± 1.7) and they had a below-normal functional (Short Physical Performance Battery summery score of 3.5 ± 2.4). The larger percentage of participants had no depression and normal cognitive capacity. A total of 33 residents participated in the activPAL study. Each assessment took an average of 27.0 ± 7.0 min, with a low assessment burden reported by participants. CONCLUSIONS The successful assessment of sarcopenia and physical activity in a RAC setting is labour intensive to establish, but feasible to conduct. Low recruitment numbers and the restrictive exclusion criteria, may have limited the accuracy of this work. However, this work is a primary step in establishing the level of sarcopenia and its risk factors for those in end-of-life care.

评估住宅老年护理中肌肉减少症的患病率和风险因素:方法和可行性。

背景肌肉减少症是一种显着的老年综合征,具有医疗保健支出和个人负担。最近,欧洲老年人肌肉减少症工作组制定了关于肌肉减少症的共识定义和评估标准,包括低于正常的肌肉质量和肌肉功能(低于正常的肌肉力量和身体机能或两者)。使用这些标准,需要开展工作来确定老年人以及最易患肌肉减少症的老年人的患病率和风险因素。这份手稿描述了居住在养老院 (RAC) 环境中的一个非常老的队列中的招募和数据收集方法,以及参与者的直接负担。方法 11 个 RAC 设施参与了这项研究。潜在参与者由设施服务经理确定,然后随机参与研究。所有参与者都给予了自己或替代决策者的同意。参与者进行了一对一的评估,包括肌肉减少症、功能能力、认知和营养健康、跌倒、活动、设施和医院病史、身体活动和评估负担。还进行了一项由 activPAL3™ 倾角仪测量的身体活动和久坐行为的子研究。结果 在 709 名居民中,328 人没有资格参加。273 名居民被随机分配到研究中,102 名居民给予知情或替代决策者同意。参与者的年龄为 84.5 ± 8.2 岁,已经接受了 1,204.2 ± 1,220.1 天的护理。需要护理的群体很高(老年护理资助工具评分为 2.6 ± 1.7)并且他们的功能低于正常(短期身体表现电池夏季评分为 3.5 ± 2.4)。较大比例的参与者没有抑郁症和正常的认知能力。共有 33 名居民参加了 activPAL 研究。每次评估平均需要 27.0 ± 7.0 分钟,参与者报告的评估负担较低。结论 在 RAC 环境中成功评估肌肉减少症和体力活动是一项劳动密集型的工作,但实施起来是可行的。低招聘人数和限制性排除标准可能限制了这项工作的准确性。然而,这项工作是确定临终关怀患者的肌肉减少症水平及其危险因素的主要步骤。7) 并且他们的功能低于正常水平(短期身体表现电池总结得分为 3.5 ± 2.4)。较大比例的参与者没有抑郁症和正常的认知能力。共有 33 名居民参加了 activPAL 研究。每次评估平均需要 27.0 ± 7.0 分钟,参与者报告的评估负担较低。结论 在 RAC 环境中成功评估肌肉减少症和体力活动是一项劳动密集型的工作,但实施起来是可行的。低招聘人数和限制性排除标准可能限制了这项工作的准确性。然而,这项工作是确定临终关怀患者的肌肉减少症水平及其危险因素的主要步骤。7) 并且他们的功能低于正常水平(短期身体表现电池总结得分为 3.5 ± 2.4)。较大比例的参与者没有抑郁症和正常的认知能力。共有 33 名居民参加了 activPAL 研究。每次评估平均需要 27.0 ± 7.0 分钟,参与者报告的评估负担较低。结论 在 RAC 环境中成功评估肌肉减少症和体力活动是一项劳动密集型的工作,但实施起来是可行的。低招聘人数和限制性排除标准可能限制了这项工作的准确性。然而,这项工作是确定临终关怀患者的肌肉减少症水平及其危险因素的主要步骤。较大比例的参与者没有抑郁症和正常的认知能力。共有 33 名居民参加了 activPAL 研究。每次评估平均需要 27.0 ± 7.0 分钟,参与者报告的评估负担较低。结论 在 RAC 环境中成功评估肌肉减少症和体力活动是一项劳动密集型的工作,但实施起来是可行的。低招聘人数和限制性排除标准可能限制了这项工作的准确性。然而,这项工作是确定临终关怀患者的肌肉减少症水平及其危险因素的主要步骤。较大比例的参与者没有抑郁症和正常的认知能力。共有 33 名居民参加了 activPAL 研究。每次评估平均需要 27.0 ± 7.0 分钟,参与者报告的评估负担较低。结论 在 RAC 环境中成功评估肌肉减少症和体力活动是一项劳动密集型的工作,但实施起来是可行的。低招聘人数和限制性排除标准可能限制了这项工作的准确性。然而,这项工作是确定临终关怀患者的肌肉减少症水平及其危险因素的主要步骤。参与者报告的评估负担较低。结论 在 RAC 环境中成功评估肌肉减少症和体力活动是一项劳动密集型的工作,但实施起来是可行的。低招聘人数和限制性排除标准可能限制了这项工作的准确性。然而,这项工作是确定临终关怀患者的肌肉减少症水平及其危险因素的主要步骤。参与者报告的评估负担较低。结论 在 RAC 环境中成功评估肌肉减少症和体力活动是一项劳动密集型的工作,但实施起来是可行的。低招聘人数和限制性排除标准可能限制了这项工作的准确性。然而,这项工作是确定临终关怀患者的肌肉减少症水平及其危险因素的主要步骤。
