Sarcopenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Preliminary Study of Prevalence of Sarcopenia Among Elderly Living in Care Facilities in Klang Valley, Malaysia
The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of age-related progressive decline in muscle mass and strength (Sarcopenia) among Malaysian elderly residing in long-term care facilities. It is a very important condition to study as it is associated with high incidence of fall, hospitalization and mortality.
Over the past few decades, one condition that prominently affects the muscular system, known
as sarcopenia, has captured the attention of healthcare experts and researchers. Sarcopenia
is a geriatric syndrome characterized by the involuntary, gradual and generalized
deterioration of skeletal muscle mass and strength with advancing age. It is to be noted that
while sarcopenia is predominantly a syndrome of the elderly, its development may also be
observed in various conditions such as disuse, malnutrition and cachexia, all of which are
not exclusive only to the elderly. As of now, there are still ongoing research on an
international scale with regards to its epidemiology, risk factors, causative factors,
adverse clinical complications, prevention and treatment.
Beginning in 1st of October, 2016, Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has
finally officialised an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical
Modification (ICD-10- CM) code for sarcopenia after its final proposal since April 2015. This
establishment has enabled comprehensible clinical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of
sarcopenia, as well as separate reporting and data collection for sarcopenia in the medical
community.
In essence, sarcopenia appears to be one of the most important causes of functional
impairment, physical disability and loss of independence in older adults and a prevalence
study will help to estimate the deleterious effects of this condition on the elderly living
in the care facility, who happen to be the less privileged group as compared to their
counterparts dwelling in the community.
