| 8 | Does Locomotive Syndrome, Associated with Sarcopenia or otherwise, Influence Quality of Life in Individuals Aged over 80 years? Third Wave of the LOCOMOV Project显示文摘Introduction:Locomotion is a determinant of intrinsic capacity of older people and can be limited by dysfunction in locomotory organs,characterizing Locomotive Syndrome(LoS).Knowledge on locomotive problems and sarcopenia,and their interface with quality of life,in the oldest old in the literature is scarce.Objective:To evaluate the correlation between LoS and sarcopenia and their influence on quality of life in oldest old.Methods:A cross-sectional study of an observational,descriptive and analytical epidemiological survey in independent older adults aged 80 and over from São Paulo,Brazil and who participated in the third wave of the LOCOMOV Project,was carried out.Sociodemographic data,comorbidities,functioning in activities of daily living,physical functioning,quality of life,and presence of sarcopenia and LoS were assessed.The statistical analyses included the Test-for-Comparing-Two-Proportions,Pearson's Correlation Coefficient,the chi-Square test and Student´s t-test.Results:Thirty oldest old with a mean age of 89.1 years were evaluated.The prevalence of LoS was high(53.3%)and correlated significantly with chronic pain(p-value 0.024),worse performance on the SPPB and Gait speed(p-value<0.001).Sarcopenia was not correlated with LoS,but worse quality of life on the physical domain was significantly associated with LoS(p-value<0.001)regardless of the presence of sarcopenia.Conclusions:LoS was highly prevalent among the oldest old studied and negatively impacted their quality of life,regardless of the presence of sarcopenia. | Patricia de Castro Rodrigues Julia Carvalho Galiano Virginia Fernandes Moça Trevizani Fania Cristina Santos | 2021 | Journal of Geriatric Medicine2021，3，2： | 0 |
