Clinical Trial Summary

The aim in the study is to evaluate the presence of sarcopenia in patients receiving home health care; To evaluate the relationship between sarcopenia and age, disease duration, and cause of immobility. In the literature review, a limited number of studies evaluating sarcopenia in home health patients were found.

Description:

Home Health Service is the provision of health services needed by immobile and chronic disease patients in the home environment. The purpose of this service is not to diagnose the patient, but rather to follow up, implement and educate the treatment of the diagnosed patient.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	handgrip strength	Handgrip strength will be measured using a hand grip dynamometer. Measurements will be taken 3 times in a sitting position with the elbow flexed to 90° and the wrist in neutral position. The measured maximal grip strength will be recorded as hand grip strength. The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement	three months
Primary	calf circumference	Calf circumference is an anthropometric measurement that indicates fat free muscle mass and has been considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) the most sensitive index for evaluating the decrease in muscle mass. Calf circumference will be measured with an elastic band over the subject's right leg, both sitting and standing. The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement	three months
Primary	Body Mass Index (BMI)	BMI will be calculated as weight (kg) divided by height2 (m2). The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement	three months
Primary	Skeletal muscle mass	Skeletal muscle mass will be evaluated using a multi-frequency body composition analysis device. The measurement will be repeated 3 months after the first measurement	three months
