简要总结
This is a observational study, that aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia using European Wording Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) algorithm in a general elderly population in Algarve region (Portugal). Because muscle is metabolically active tissue, sarcopenia may also contribute to the development of some of the metabolic disorders associated with aging. However, the risk factors associated with sarcopenia are poorly understood. Thus, a cross-sectional survey of a sample of 274 elderly adults aged 60 or over, were included in the study. Correlations of sarcopenia with functional level, lipid and glycemic profile, nutritional and physical activity level, fall risk, quality of life, and self-reported comorbidities will be studied.

结局指标
主要结局
Prevalence of Sarcopenia in elderly population
时间窗: 0 Months
Determine the prevalence of sarcopenia using European Wording Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) algorithm in a general elderly population in Algarve region.
Quality of life in elderly population
时间窗: 0 Months
Quality of life was assessed at one time point only (due to the nature of the cross-sectional study design) using the subscore and total score of Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey instrument. Instrument scores can range between 0 - 100. Higher values mean better self-perception of quality of life.
