Objectives The Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL) questionnaire, a sarcopenia-specific patient-reported outcome measure, evaluates quality life with 55 items. It produces 7 domain scores and 1 overall score, all between 0 100 points. This study aims to contribute the interpretation SarQoL by calculating standard error measurement (SEM) smallest detectable change (SDC) in sample subjects from 9 studies. Methods Subjects studies (conducted Belgium, Brazil, Czech Republic, England, Greece,...
<h3>Importance</h3> Recent data suggest a relatively low incidence of COVID-19 among children. The possible role that children attending primary school may play in the transmission SARS-CoV-2 remains poorly understood. <h3>Objective</h3> To gain better understanding SARS-CoV-2. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> This prospective cohort study was conducted from September 21 to December 31, 2020, Liège, Belgium, volunteer sample 181 children, parents, employees. <h3>Exposures</h3>...
The concept of 'intrinsic capacity' (IC) offers a new way to approach another concept, that 'healthy aging'. first objective the present study was assess ability construct predict death. second whether deteriorations in intrinsic capacity, measured over 1 and 2 years, are predictive analysis based on prospective cohort study. Community-dwelling participants. recruited older adults aged 65 years older. Intrinsic capacity encompasses five domains: sensorial (not evaluated here), cognition...
In 2015, a specific health-related quality of life questionnaire for sarcopenia, SarQoL®, was developed and validated in French. Since then, SarQoL® has been adapted different languages. We prepared translation, cultural adaptation validation the psychometric properties into Spanish.A cross-sectional study with 86 participants. The translation followed international guidelines two direct translations, synthesized version reverse consensus by an expert committee pre-final version, pre-test...
Age-related sarcopenia, resulting from a gradual loss in skeletal muscle mass and strength, is pivotal to the increased prevalence of functional limitation among older adult community. The purpose this meta-analysis individual patient data investigate difference health-related quality life between sarcopenic individuals those without condition using Sarcopenia Quality Life (SarQoL) questionnaire. A protocol was published on PROSPERO. Multiple databases grey literature were searched until...
The Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL®) questionnaire was developed to provide a patient-reported outcome measure specific sarcopenia. Its psychometric properties indicate that it is valid and reliable instrument. However, until now, its ability detect change over time has not been examined. Therefore, the objective this study evaluate responsiveness (also known as sensitivity change) SarQoL® in prospective, longitudinal cohort community-dwelling, older, sarcopenic subjects. Sarcopenic...
Abstract Background The SarQoL® questionnaire was specifically designed to measure quality of life (QoL) in sarcopenia. Frailty and sarcopenia have areas overlap, notably weak muscle strength slow gait speed, which may mean that the SarQoL could provide a QoL frailty. This study aimed evaluate clinimetric properties physical frailty using Fried criteria. Methods Analyses were carried out on data from Sarcopenia Physical impairment with advancing Age study. assessed criteria SarQoL,...
Background The SarQoL, a quality-of-life questionnaire specific to sarcopenia, was developed in 2015 and has since been translated into number of other languages. main reason introduce this new Ukrainian version the measure sarcopenic individuals' perceptions regarding their positions life context culture value systems. Methods using forward-backward approach with pre-test. A total 49 participants were recruited for validation study. Sarcopenia diagnosed according Ishii test. analyses...
Introduction/Objective. The Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoLR) questionnaire is a patient-reported outcome measure specific to sarcopenia. objective was translate the SarQoLR from English into Serbian and investigate its psychometric performance. Methods. A five-stage forward-backward methodology with pre-test used questionnaire. validation sample in this study consisted elderly, community-dwelling volunteers both sexes. Three methods were screen for diagnose sarcopenia: SARC-F (high/ low...
To facilitate the measurement of quality life in sarcopenia, we set out to reduce number items previously validated Sarcopenia Quality Life (SarQoL
