Abstract: Antecedentes: La sarcopenia es la pérdida progresiva y generalizada de masa y función muscular asociada a mayor riesgo de dependencia funcional, hospitalizaciones y mortalidad en adultos mayores. Se ha recomendado emplear el cuestionario SARC-F para realizar el screening e intervenir oportunamente. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia de sarcopenia mediante el cuestionario SARCF y los factores relacionados en adultos mayores que acuden a un hospital general. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, transversal y descriptivo a partir de una base de datos primaria de adultos mayores que asistieron a consultorio de Geriatría del Hospital Cayetano Heredia de agosto del 2019 a febrero del 2020. Se empleó la herramienta SARC-F para el screening de sarcopenia. Se describieron las características sociodemográficas y clínicas relacionadas al screening positivo. Resultados: Un 31.16% de los adultos mayores tuvo un screening positivo de sarcopenia. La edad media fue 76,9 años, el 76,11% fueron mujeres y el 23,88% hombres. El screening positivo se relaciona con la edad (p=0,034), posible malnutrición (p<0,001), número de comorbilidades (p=0,012), insuficiencia cardíaca (p=0,034), dependencia funcional (p<0,001), deterioro cognitivo (p=0,001), historia de caídas (p<0,001), circunferencia de la pantorrilla disminuida, fuerza manual disminuida y velocidad de la marcha disminuida (p<0,001). Conclusiones: La frecuencia de screening positivo de sarcopenia en nuestra población fue alta. Se requiere desarrollar más estudios en Perú y Latinoamérica empleando el algoritmo del EWGSOP 2 para generar evidencia concluyente respecto a la utilidad del SARC-F en la práctica y prevenir resultados adversos en la población adulta mayor.
Background: Sarcopenia is the progressive and generalized loss of muscle mass and function associated with an increased risk of functional dependence, hospitalizations and mortality in older adults. The use of the SARC-F questionnaire has been recommended for screening and timely intervention. Objective: To determine sarcopenia frequency using SARC-F questionnaire and related factors in older adults attending a general hospital. Materials and methods: An observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out from a primary database of a population of older adults who attended the Geriatrics outpatient clinic of the Cayetano Heredia Hospital in the period from August 2019 to February 2020. We used the SARC-F tool for sarcopenia screening. The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics related to the presence of sarcopenia were described. Results: 31.16% of the older adults had a positive sarcopenia screening. The mean age was 76.9 years, 76.11% were women and 23.88% were men. Positive screening is related to age (p = 0.034), possible malnutrition (p <0.001), number of comorbidities (p = 0.012), heart failure (p=0.034), functional dependence (p <0.001), cognitive impairment (p = 0.001), history of falls (p<0.001), decreased calf circumference (p<0.001), decreased hand grip strength (p<0.001), and decreased gait speed (p<0.001). Conclusions: The frequency of positive screening for sarcopenia in our population was high. More studies are required in Peru and Latin America using the EWGSOP 2 algorithm to generate conclusive evidence regarding the usefulness of SARC-F in practice and thus prevent adverse outcomes in the older adult population.
