Converging Pathways : Exploring the Interplay of Malnutrition, Sarcopenia, and Frailty in Nursing Home Residents: A Cross-sectional Study
Copyright: © 2023 Journal of Mid-life Health..
Background: Within the context of nursing home care, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty stand as notable conditions, each exerting distinct yet interconnected impacts on residents' well-being. The objective of this cross-sectional study is to elucidate the intricate interplay among malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty among nursing home residents.
Methodology: It is a community-based, cross-sectional, descriptive study among nursing home residents of Vatsalyadham Vrudhsharam, which is an institution for aged old-age people in Jamnagar from April 2023 to July 2023. The estimated minimum sample size was 345. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data containing sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric assessment, and bio-impedance indices. The handgrip was measured by a hand dynamometer. Assessment of the risk of malnutrition was performed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form questionnaire and was confirmed by the Global Leadership Initiative for Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Sarcopenia was assessed by a bio-impedance analyzer using the Asian Working Group of Sarcopenia 2019. Frailty was assessed using the fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss (FRAIL) screener. Descriptive statistics were used for the representation of percentages and frequencies. Both Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were used for the association. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, respectively.
Results: About 345 participants were included, and mean age of the participants was 85 ± 5.6 years, about 159 (49%) participants belonged to the age group of more than 80 years, 220 (63.7%) were males, then malnutrition was diagnosed by GLIM criteria, about 154 (44.6%) were found to have malnutrition. Sarcopenia was found in 184 (53%) participants. The FRAIL screening was used to identify frailty, according to that prefrail was around 170 (49%) and frail was about 122 (35%), respectively. Age, gender, and history of falls were associated with frailty and sarcopenia (P < 0.001). Only, age and gender were associated with malnutrition but not a history of falls.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition are prevalent among nursing home residents. Health-care providers should identify and manage these conditions in older adults to improve their quality of life.
