Objective The aim of the study was to explore an individualized sonographic muscle thickness ratio and its cutoff values in diagnosis sarcopenia. Design A total 326 community-dwelling adults were included this cross-sectional study. Total skeletal mass evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis, nine-site measurements using ultrasound. Isometric handgrip knee extension strengths assessed. Physical performance usual Gait Speed, Chair Stand Test, Timed Up Go Test. Results Because anterior...
Objectives: Frailty is a geriatric syndrome which develops as result of cumulative decline in many physiological systems and results an increased vulnerability risk adverse outcomes. The Clinical Scale (CFS) was validated predictor outcomes community-dwelling older people evaluates items such comorbidity, cognitive impairment disability. We aimed to study the concurrent construct validity reliability 9 point CFS Turkish Population.Methods: This designed cross-sectional study. Participants,...
Abstract Background Dysphagia is an important and frequent symptom in Alzheimer's dementia (AD). We hypothesized that dysphagia could be seen the early stages of AD sarcopenia presence rather than severity affecting dysphagia. The main aim this study was to investigate swallowing functions patients according stages. second correlation between AD. Methods This involved 76 probable patients. For all participants, diagnosis based on definitions from revised version European Working Group...
Abstract Background Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is the coexistence of sarcopenia and in an individual. The present study designed to define usefulness skeletal muscle ultrasonography (US) definition SO. Methods Eighty‐nine participants aged ≥65 whose body mass index (BMI, kg/m 2 ) was ≥30 were consecutively enrolled outpatient clinic geriatric medicine. All underwent comprehensive assessment. US measurements obtained 6 different muscles consisting core limb muscles. We defined SO as presence low...
Several studies reported that impaired nutrition is associated with reduced muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Chewing ability essential to maintain balanced oral nutrient intake. The study was designed define the possible relationship between chewing nutrition-related problems (malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty) in a holistic perspective.This cross-sectional recruited adults aged ≥65 years. All patients were evaluated comprehensive geriatric assessment. Sarcopenia diagnosed...
Background & Aim: Muscle strength seems to be more relevant the functionality than muscle mass in sarcopenia. Different diagnostic techniques are available for evaluation of mass. Ultrasonography (USG) have some advantages compared other especially bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) including being not affected results by factors like extreme body indexes (BMI) or hypervolemia. The aim study is determine and compare prediction value measured using USG BIA cut-off values Turkish...
Abstract Background Insomnia increases the incidence of falls and impairs executive function. Moreover, are associated with function impairment. The relationship between in patients insomnia is not clear. aim this study was to evaluate individuals a control group. Methods This involved 122 (47 insomnia, 75 controls). Mini‐Mental State Examination, Quick Mild Cognitive Impairment Screen, Trail Making Test A, clock‐drawing test, digit span test were used measure Semantic working memory dual...
Aim Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass strength. Chronic inflammatory conditions increased oxidative stress are in the pathogenesis sarcopenia. Our aim was to evaluate relationship between sarcopenia thiol–disulfide homeostasis ischemia‐modified albumin levels as an marker. Methods Patients aged ≥65 years were recruited this study. diagnosed according European Working Group on Older People criterion. Total thiol, native disulfide measures...
Sarcoidosis can cause sarcopenia like other chronic diseases. Ultrasonography is a simple method, which has been used frequently in recent years. We aimed to evaluate the sarcoidosis patients with ultrasonography for and compare results of accepted standard bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).BIA handgrip test were applied all diagnosed sarcoidosis. The classified according presence probable their appendicular skeletal muscle mass index calculated using BIA. was each patient thickness...
Background and Aim: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) dementia prevalence are expected to increase with aging. The DemTect is a very quick easy tool administer recognize the early stages of MCI. In this study we aimed evaluate reliability validity Turkish version define cut off values for different age educational levels. One our aims also compare sensitivity specifity other common screening tools. Patients Methods: Fifty-four patients MCI, 55 91 subjective memory complaints (SMC) were...
Gastrointestinal (GI) system cancers are frequent among older adults and it is still difficult to predict which at increased risk for postoperative complications. Frailty sarcopenia increasing problems of population may be associated with adverse outcomes. In this study we aimed examine the effect frailty on complications in patients undergoing surgery GI cancers.Forty-nine admitted general clinic diagnosis gastrointestinal were included cross-sectional study. status was assessed using...
Cutoff values of cognitive screen tests vary according to age and educational levels.The objective this study was compare the accuracy determine cutoffs for 3 short screening instruments: Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Quick Mild Impairment Screen-Turkish version (Qmci-TR), in older adults with low literacy Turkey.In all 321 patients, 133 subjective complaints (SCC), 88 amnestic-type mild impairment (aMCI), 100 probable Alzheimer disease (AD) a median 5...
Objective: Polypharmacy, an important geriatric syndrome, has been shown to be independent risk factor for falling. However, the data about effects of polypharmacy on balance is lacking. We aimed evaluate and inappropriate drug use in older adults. Patients Methods: Fifty-one patients using ≥ 5 drugs 50 < were included study. Inappropriate usage was evaluated by Beers criteria. Postural stability falling investigated Biosway Portable Balance System (BPBS). Activities functional status...
