12. Sarcopenic obesity and related factors in older adults at a care center in Hanoi in 2023
Main Article Content
Abstract
A cross-sectional study to describe the condition of Sarcopenic obesity (SO) and related factors in the elderly showed thatthe proportion of elderly with high BMI (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) was 30%, the rate of high waist circumference (men ≥ 90cm, women ≥ 80cm) were 46 (65.71%). According to the diagnostic criteria, the percentage of elderly people with decreased skeletal muscle function according to handgrip strength were 67 (95.71%); obesity diagnosed based on % body fat mass measured by Inbody 770 machine was 7 (10%) and the rate of low skeletal muscle mass was 44 (62.86%). The results showed that there were statistically significant differences by gender, BMI, waist circumference, and waist-hip ratio in older adults with SO. Elderly people with many diseases, taking more than 3 medications per day and reduced ADLs have a higher risk of SO, but the difference is not statistically significant with p > 0.05.
