Several studies have established the advantage of using anthropometric measurements as indicators of sarcopenia. Nevertheless, no study has explored the association between sarcopenia and neck circumference. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the data of 90 older adults requiring long-term care to evaluate this association and establish cut-off points for individuals at risk of sarcopenia as defined by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019. A significant association was found between sarcopenia and neck circumference using binomial logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic analyses. The optimal cut-off value for neck circumference associated with increased risk for sarcopenia among older adults was 32.8 cm for females and 38.0 cm for males. Given the potential of declining neck circumference as an anthropometric marker of sarcopenia, it has clinical applications in screening for sarcopenia in older adults requiring long-term care.

颈围可以预测需要长期护理的日本老年人的肌肉减少症
几项研究已经确定了使用人体测量作为肌肉减少症指标的优势。然而,没有研究探讨肌肉减少症与颈围之间的关联。在这项横断面研究中,我们检查了 90 名需要长期护理的老年人的数据,以评估这种关联,并为 2019 年亚洲肌肉减少症工作组 (AWGS) 定义的有肌肉减少症风险的个体建立临界点。使用二项式逻辑回归和接受者操作特征分析发现肌肉减少症和颈围之间存在显着关联。与老年人肌肉减少症风险增加相关的颈围最佳截断值是女性 32.8 厘米和男性 38.0 厘米。
