Sarcopenia, SARC-F questionnaire, Demographic variables, Chi Square test

Sarcopenia is a clinical condition in which skeletal muscle mass and strength gradually losses, leading to adverse outcomes including poor quality of life, disability, and death with advancing age. Sarcopenia has been found to be primarily due to aging or secondary due to reduced activity like bed rest, chronic disease, malignancy, poor nutrition or endocrinal disease. A cross-sectional study was chosen to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia among elderly people (above 60 years of age). The sample size for the study is 50. The data was collected by using questionnaires on the demographic variables, standard SARC-F Questionnaires. The association between the different demographic variables and the prevalence of Sarcopenia among old aged people in selected subjects were analyzed using Chi square (x2) tests. All statistical tests were considered as significant whose P-value is less than 0.05. Out of 50 samples 29(58%) members are sarcopenic, 4(8%) members are at risk for sarcopenia and 17(34%) members are non-sarcopenic. This study concludes that sarcopenia is prevalent in geriatric population, especially among women. The prevalence of sarcopenia is 58% of the total studied population and 24% in male and 34% in female. This study also shows that there is a significant association between the prevalence of sarcopenia and the qualification and non-significant association with age, gender, occupation, family type, marital status and food pattern.
