ObjectivesTo describe the normative values of sarcopenia among community-dwelling adults (≥21 years age); compare prevalence using Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria, 2014 (AWGS2014), 2019 (AWGS2019), and European on in Older People 2018 (EWGSOP2) guidelines; identify factors associated with sarcopenia.DesignParticipants were recruited through random sampling. assessments performed a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan (muscle mass), handgrip test strength), usual walking...
Age-related slowing of gait has been reported to start as early the fifth decade and accelerate beyond seventh life. A single cut-off for slow may not be appropriate men women different ages. We aimed report reference values speed spatiotemporal parameters adult age groups in a South East Asian population.A total 507 community-dwelling adults, aged 21-90 years were recruited into study through random sampling, filling quotas 20-40 participants each sex group (10-year between 21 60 years;...
Abstract Objectives: To describe the normative values of sarcopenia among community-dwelling adults (≥21), compare prevalence using AWGS2014, AWGS2019 and EWGSOP2 guidelines, identify factors associated with sarcopenia. Design: Participants were recruited through random sampling. Sarcopenia assessments performed a DXA scan (muscle mass), handgrip test strength) usual walking (physical performance). Questionnaires administered to evaluate lifestyle cognition. Setting Participants: 542...
To 1) report prevalence of ‘osteosarcopenia’ (OS) and osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) entities using evidence-based diagnostic techniques definitions, 2) examine if OSO offers additional predictive value functional decline over its components, 3) identify associated factors in a multi-racial Southeast Asian population. We performed cross-sectional study representative sample 542 community-dwelling adults (21–90 years old), assessed anthropometry, cognition, performance, self-report...
Purpose: Community-based programs can increase and sustain physical activity participation in older adults, even for those who are physically frail. We studied the feasibility potential effect of a 12-week structured Functional Power Training (FPT) program involving high velocities low loads adults conducted common area their housing estate. Patients methods: The FPT was collaboration with health promotion social enterprise community service provider based public site. recruited nine...
Due to the lack of a uniform obesity definition, there is marked variability in reported sarcopenic (SO) prevalence and associated health outcomes. We compare association SO with physical function using current Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) guidelines different measures propose most optimal diagnostic formulation according functional impairment, describe among community-dwelling young old adults. Obesity was defined waist circumference (WC), percentage body fat (PBF), mass index...
Abstract Objective This study sought to answer the following questions: What are reference values of sensorimotor performance for fall risk in community-dwelling adults? How do population norms compare with that other populations? Are younger adults at falls? Methods In a cross-sectional design, functions and scores were assessed calculated derive corresponding categories. Reference determined using average by age group. A total 542 recruited (21–90 years old) across 10-year (21–60 years)...
