題名 Correlates of thigh muscle index with physical performance in ambulatory geriatric patients 作者 吳治勳 貢獻者 心理系 日期 2012-03 上傳時間 26-Dec-2014 16:00:59 (UTC+8) 摘要 Objective: 1) to validate the correlation between the estimated dominant thigh muscle volume using anthropometric measurements and the physical performance of lower limbs in elderly adults at ambulatory clinics; 2) to examine the association between dominant thigh muscle index and frailty. Design: Longitudinal observational study. Setting: Outpatients at family or geriatric medicine clinics. Participants: One hundred forty-eight elderly adults aged 65-90. Measurements: The anthropometric measurements (including weight and thigh circumference), appendicular skeletal muscle mass by bioelectrical impendence analysis (BIA), quadriceps muscle strength, physical performance (including timed Up & Go test, 5-meter walking time, and handgrip strength) were examined at baseline and 1-year follow-up with the Fried Frailty Index evaluated concurrently. Results: The estimated dominant thigh muscle volume was correlated positively with quadriceps muscle strength and the predicted appendicular skeletal muscle mass but negatively with physical performance (timed Up&Go and 5m walking time) (p≦0.01). Dominant thigh muscle index (quadriceps muscle strength per estimated thigh muscle volume*1000 of the dominant leg) was marginally different between genders (p=0.06). Additionally, older age, weaker quadriceps muscle strength, lower dominant thigh muscle index, and longer time for TUG (timed Up & Go) test were associated with frailty status (all p-values < 0.05). Dominant thigh muscle index was an independent and protective factor associated with frailty after age adjustment. Conclusion: Using the equation with anthropometric measurements to estimate thigh muscle volume is a simple and noninvasive method. Moreover, dominant thigh muscle index helps detect frailty at an early stage and minimize the impacts of gender difference on frailty. 關聯 Journal of Aging Research & Clinical Practice, 2012(1), 44-50 資料類型 article dc.contributor 心理系 en_US dc.creator (作者) 吳治勳 zh_TW dc.date (日期) 2012-03 en_US dc.date.accessioned 26-Dec-2014 16:00:59 (UTC+8) - dc.date.available 26-Dec-2014 16:00:59 (UTC+8) - dc.date.issued (上傳時間) 26-Dec-2014 16:00:59 (UTC+8) - dc.identifier.uri (URI) http://nccur.lib.nccu.edu.tw/handle/140.119/72371 - dc.description.abstract (摘要) Objective: 1) to validate the correlation between the estimated dominant thigh muscle volume using anthropometric measurements and the physical performance of lower limbs in elderly adults at ambulatory clinics; 2) to examine the association between dominant thigh muscle index and frailty.
