Frailty or sarcopenia
BACKGROUND: Despite the different conditions, frailty and sarcopenia overlap regarding their common link: the assessment of walking speed and muscle strength. This study aimed to compare the frailty phenotype to the sarcopenia using different cut-off points for low grip strength to determine which better identifies mortality risk over a 14-year follow-up period. METHODS: 4597 participants in the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Frailty was m…
How does the cut-off point for grip strength affect the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors? Findings from the Elsi-Brazil Study
This study aimed to compare the prevalence of sarcopenia and associated factors with the definition of muscle weakness established using two different cut-off points for grip strength. We carried out a cross-sectional study with 7,065 participants (aged 50 or older) from the ELSI-Brazil Study. Sarcopenia was defined by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and two different cut-off points for grip strength to define w…
Dynapenic Abdominal Obesity, Single and Recurrent Falls in Older Brazilian Adults
Objective: Cross-sectional study to verify the association between dynapenic abdominal obesity and the occurrence of single and recurrent falls among Brazilian adults aged 50 years and over. Methods: Baseline data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil), comprising 8374 individuals aged 50 years and over, were analyzed. Participants were categorized according to the report of falls, dynapenic abdominal obesity was determined …
Differences in the prevalence of prediabetes, undiagnosed diabetes and diagnosed diabetes and associated factors in cohorts of Brazilian and English older adults
Objective: To analyse differences in the prevalence of prediabetes (PD), undiagnosed diabetes (UDD) and diagnosed diabetes (DD) and associated factors between Brazilian and English older adults. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: England and Brazil. Participants: 5301 participants of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing study and 1947 participants of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging study classified as non-diabetics, PD, UDD and…
Pre-frailty, frailty and associated factors in older caregivers of older adults
INTRODUCTION: Providing care to an older adult is an activity that requires considerable physical effort and can cause stress and psychological strain, which accentuate factors that trigger the cycle of frailty, especially when the caregiver is also an older adult. However, few studies have analyzed the frailty process in older caregivers. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prevalence of pre-frailty, frailty and associated factors in older caregivers…
