Accuracy of determining gait independence using adductor pollicis muscle thickness and skeletal muscle mass index in community-dwelling older adults undergoing outpatient rehabilitation.

Objective: The accuracy of determining gait independence using adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in community-dwelling older adults undergoing outpatient rehabilitation remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of determining gait independence using APMT and SMI in community-dwelling older adults undergoing outpatient rehabilitation.

Methods: This study included 98 older adults (mean age: 85.

Association between adductor pollicis muscle thickness and low skeletal muscle mass index in community-dwelling older women undergoing outpatient rehabilitation.

Objective: The performance of sarcopenia diagnosis using adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) has been reported. However, the relationship between APMT and low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) is unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between APMT and low SMI and APMT performance to diagnose low SMI in community-dwelling older women undergoing outpatient rehabilitation.

Association between anorexia as assessed by simplified nutritional appetite questionnaire and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults using outpatient rehabilitation: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: A previous study reported an association between sarcopenia and anorexia determined by the simplified nutritional appetite questionnaire (SNAQ) in community-dwelling older adults. However, it is unclear in the community-dwelling older adults who are using outpatient rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anorexia and sarcopenia as judged by SNAQ in community-dwelling older adults using outpatient rehabilitation.

Relationship between Nutritional Status Evaluated by Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form and Activities of Daily Living after 1 Year in Community-Dwelling Older Adults Using Outpatient Rehabilitation.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between nutritional status assessed by the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) and activities of daily living (ADL) after 1 year and changes in ADL among community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: This study included 95 community-dwelling older adults using outpatient rehabilitation (74.7% female).

Accuracy of determining sarcopenia using SARC-CalF in community-dwelling older adults aged 75 years and older.

Objective: The accuracy of sarcopenia determination using SARC-CalF in community-dwelling older adults has been clarified in previous studies. However, this accuracy is unknown for subjects older than 75 years old. If this becomes clear, it will show the usefulness of using SARC-CalF in determining sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults aged ≥75 years old.
