| Resumo: | Introduction: As the world population ages, one of the important challenges for the
health area is to intervene in the decline of the musculoskeletal system. This decline
consists primarily of reduced muscle mass and function, which is called sarcopenia and
is associated with adverse health outcomes. The prevalence of sarcopenia varies greatly,
as these depend on the characteristics of the studied population, the definitions found in
the literature. Different reference values have a critical impact on the epidemiology of
sarcopenia. Objective: To verify the prevalence of sarcopenia using different forms of
assessment proposed by the EWGSOP2. Methods: 778 community-dwelling elderly
people living in a city in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil were evaluated. Cut-off points were
defined for the variables used to screen for sarcopenia (grip strength, sit-stand test,
skeletal muscle mass, gait speed, and SPPB) and the prevalence of sarcopenia
components was found according to categorization by age group. Results: Comparing the
proportions between the forms of assessment, a greater proportion of sarcopenia was
observed in the methods that used the MME without adjustment for height and in the age
group over 75 years, both for handgrip (B, 15.6%) and for the sit-to-stand test (D, 11.9%).
Conclusion: The prevalence of sarcopenia varies according to the methods used, where
it is possible to do the screening through the grip strength as well as the sit-up test and
both are more sensitive when associated with muscle mass without height adjustments |
