Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the association of cognitive impairment, depressive mood and sarcopenia among older men living in the veterans retirement community in southern T aiwan Methods: This cross‐sectional study recruited 353 men aged 65 years and older. In addition to demographic characteristics, all participants were measured for gait speed, handgrip strength and muscle mass by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). The diagnosis of sarcopenia was made according to the E uropean W orking G roup on S arcopenia in O lder P eople criteria. Slow walking speed was defined as ≤0.8 meter/second. Low muscle strength was defined as the handgrip strength less than 22.5 kg which was adjusted according to T aiwanese norms. A height‐adjusted muscle mass of 8.87 kg/m2 from a previous T aiwanese study was defined as low muscle mass. Cognitive function was evaluated by the M ini‐M ental S tate E xamination (MMSE), and the G eriatric D epression S cale‐15 (GDS‐15) was used for screening of depressive symptoms. Results: Among the 353 participants (mean age 82.7 ± 5.3 years), 30.9% (109/353) were classified as sarcopenic. Multivariate logistic regression showed that sarcopenia was independently associated with cognitive impairment (adjusted OR 3.03, 95% CI 1.63–5.65, P < 0.001) and depressive symptoms (adjusted OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.03–4.89, P = 0.04). Conclusions: Sarcopenia was significantly associated with cognitive impairment and depressive symptoms among otherwise healthy older men living in the veterans retirement community. Further outcome study is required to explore the interrelationship of cognition, depressive symptoms and sarcopenia in older adults. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2014; 14 (Suppl. 1): 102–108.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
