- Risk Factors for Low Muscle Mass in a Population-based Prospective Cohort of Brazilian Community-dwelling Older Women: The Sao Paulo Ageing & Health (SPAH) Study(2020) MACHADO, Ketty L. L. L.; DOMICIANO, Diogo S.; MACHADO, Luana G.; LOPES, Jaqueline B.; FIGUEIREDO, Camille P.; CAPARBO, Valeria F.; TAKAYAMA, Liliam; MENEZES, Paulo R.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.Introduction: Sarcopenia is characterized by progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, which results in decreased muscle strength, functional impairment, and increased risk of death. Few studies have performed a concomitant evaluation of clinical, laboratory, and body composition variables to accurately determine the contribution of each parameter to low muscle mass (LMM) in older subjects. This study aimed to identify risk factors (clinical, laboratory parameters, BMD, and body composition by DXA including visceral fat) for LMM in a prospective cohort of older Brazilian women. Methods: A total of 408 women aged >= 65 yr from the Sao Paulo Ageing & Health study were evaluated with clinical data, laboratory bone tests, BMD, and body composition by DXA using Hologic QDR 4500A equipment. Risk factors were measured at baseline (2005-2007). After a follow-up of 4.3 +/- 0.8 yr, subjects were classified according to the LMM definition of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health criteria. LMM was defined when appendicular lean mass divided by body mass index was less than 0.512. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify independent risk factors for LMM. Results: At the end of follow-up, 116 women (28.4%) had LMM. Age averages were 73.3 +/- 4.9 yr in the LMM group and 72.5 +/- 4.5 yr in the normal group (p = 0.11). Mean BMI was 30.6 +/- 5.2 kg/m(2) in the LMM group and 28.1 +/- 4.7 kg/m(2) in the normal group (p < 0.001). In multivariate analyses, predictors of LMM were: falls (OR = 1.14, p = 0.016), TSH levels (OR = 1.08, p = 0.018, per 1 mu UI/L-increase), serum creatinine levels (OR =11.11, p < 0.001, per 1 mg/dL-decrease), and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) mass (OR = 1.17, p < 0.001, per 100 g increase). Conclusions: Falls, high TSH, low creatinine, and high VAT were risk factors for LMM in older women. More attention should be paid to these factors, since they are potentially reversible with adequate intervention.
- Persistent hypovitaminosis D and loss of hip bone mineral density over time as additional risk factors for recurrent falls in a population-based prospective cohort of elderly persons living in the community. The Sao Paulo Ageing & Health (SPAH) Study(2015) MACHADO, K. L. L. L.; DOMICIANO, D. S.; MACHADO, L. G.; LOPES, J. B.; FIGUEIREDO, C. P.; TAKAYAMA, L.; OLIVEIRA, R. M.; MENEZES, P. R.; PEREIRA, R. M. R.A Summary We performed concomitant evaluation of clinical, laboratory, and bone mineral density (BMD) parameters as potential risk factors for falls in a population-based prospective cohort of older adults, since previous studies have focused mostly in clinical risk factors. Loss of hip BMD and persistent hypovitaminosis D were associated with recurrent falls in community-dwelling elderly. Introduction Few studies have performed a concomitant evaluation of clinical data, laboratory bone parameters, and bone mineral density (BMD) to determine more accurately the contribution of each of these variables to risk of falls in elderly persons. We investigated the association between bone parameters and recurrent falls in a population-based prospective cohort of community-dwelling older adults. Methods A total of 705 elderly individuals (448 women, 257 men) were evaluated with clinical data, BMD, and laboratory bone tests at baseline and after a mean follow-up of 4.3 +/- 0.8 years. Individuals with recurrent falls (a parts per thousand yen2 falls in the previous year from the date of the second evaluation) were considered chronic fallers. Logistic regression models were used to identify independent risk factors for recurrent falls. Results The frequency of chronic fallers was 16.5 %. In multivariate analyses, risk factors for recurrent falls were visual impairment (odds ratio (OR) = 2.49, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.30-4.74, p = 0.006), use of psychotropic drugs (OR = 2.47, 95 % CI 1.37-4.49, p = 0.003), clinical fracture (OR = 2.78, 95 % CI 1.48-5.20, p = 0.001), persistently low 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) (< 20 ng/mL) (OR = 1.71, 95 % CI 1.10-2.64, p = 0.016), and loss of total hip BMD during the study (OR = 1.21, 95 % CI 1.17-1.25, p = 0.035 for each 4 % decrease). Conclusions In addition to traditional clinical risk factors for falls, loss of hip BMD and hypovitaminosis D were associated with recurrent falls in community-dwelling elderly persons. Thus, recognizing these factors is essential to preventing falls and improving the outcomes of this population.
