简要总结
Background: measuring the prevalence of malnutrition, frailty and sarcopenia in same group of older adults is effective in understanding the relation between these conditions. This could support diagnosing, treatment and prevention in future practice. The research is aiming to measure the estimate prevalence of malnutrition, frailty, sarcopenia and their overlap in older adults, using the UK Biobank. In addition, it will aim to compare the two models of frailty the phenotype and deficit accumulation using the UK Biobank database, as data comparing these models is limited.
Methods/design: This is a cross-sectional study design that will use the UK Biobank database, which includes 381,000 participants males and females, aged 50 years and above, who completed the UK Biobank baseline assessments were included that is a subset from the main sample size from the UK Biobank. For baseline, details of participant's characteristics will be included. All three conditions will be identified as malnutrition by using GLIM criteria, while frailty by using two models; the first model will be the 36 deficits model and phenotype model. Finally, sarcopenia condition will be judge according to EWGSOP standard. All these models will be determining the feasibility to apply it using the available database in the UK Biobank.
Discussion: This proposed study will help in understanding the relation between malnutrition, frailty and sarcopenia. As in worldwide, there is little published research on the overlap between malnutrition, frailty and sarcopenia. Despite definitions and diagnostic criteria were developed for these conditions. There is conflict extend to the definitions and identification criteria's. This study will use UK Biobank database to measuring the estimate prevalence in older people and determine the overlap between three conditions.
详细描述
The UK Biobank is a population-based study of a large prospective longitudinal cohort with information on 500,000 people, who were aged 40-69 when recruited in 2006-2010 from England, Scotland and Wales. The database includes demographic data, online questionnaires, X-rays and scan image of (brain, heart, abdomen, bones and carotid artery), as well as urine and saliva samples and blood biochemistry including: hormones and blood lipid. The online questionnaires (about: diet, cognitive function, work history and digestive health). It aims to improve the following: prevention, diagnosis and treatment for a broad number of diseases including cancer, heart diseases, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis, eye disorders, depression and forms of dementia. This detailed information on participants provide a resource for investigators to conduct research related a particular diseases.
There are four phases of assessment in UK Biobank. The first phase was the UK Biobank Pilot assessment that included 3798 participants from Stockport only in 2006. Then, the second phase was the initial assessment visit that started in 2007 until 2010. This was the baseline assessment and included approximately 500000 participants. After that, the third phase was conducted and called the first repeat assessment visit which took place between 2012-2013 and included 20346 participants. Lastly, the imaging visit which is considered the fourth phase started in 2014 until present.

结局指标
主要结局
Determine the feasibility of obtaining variables to be able to determine malnutrition, frailty and sarcopenia in the UK Biobank.
时间窗: cross sectional, 2007
Determine if the variables in the UK biobank would be able to use different models to investigating malnutrition by mapping GLIM criteria, frailty by mapping it with two models 36 deficits and phenotype model. while sarcopenia will be matched with EWGSOP standard.
Measuring the prevalence of the three conditions by applying the models in UK Biobank.
时间窗: cross sectional, 2007
