ABSTRACT
Background:
This study aims to investigate the prevalence of possible sarcopenia and its associated factors among middle-aged Vietnamese women.Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 205 women aged 40-55 years who were admitted to the Can Tho Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital between February and December 2023. The presence of possible sarcopenia was determined according to the AWGS 2019 criteria. Associated factors were dietary intake (total energy, protein, lipid, and carbohydrate intake), the severity of menopausal symptoms by using the Kupperman index, and body composition by using the bioelectrical impedance analysis device, Inbody S10. Logistic regressions were built to analyze the association between possible sarcopenia and its associated factors.Results:
The prevalence of possible sarcopenia was 29.8%, with a mean age of 47.2. Possible sarcopenia was detected in 23% of the participants based on the criterion of low handgrip strength, whereas 83.6% of the participants when considered low performance in the chair stand test. Adjusted logistic regression analysis showed that living in a rural area (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 2.16, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.22-4.72), energy intake <25 kcal/body weight, (AOR 1.94, 95% CI 1.75-5.06), protein intake <0.91 g/body weight (AOR 2.42, 95% CI 1.51-5.76), skipping breakfast (AOR 2.03, 95% CI 0.91-4.54), mild menopausal symptoms (AOR 2.68, 95% CI 1.61-5.36), and obesity (AOR 1.59, 95% CI 1.29-3.67) were significantly associated with higher risk of possible sarcopenia. Conversely, higher muscle mass and higher upper limb mass were associated with a decreased risk of possible sarcopenia (total muscle mass AOR 0.20, 95% CI 0.07-0.59).Conclusions:
These findings would provide a basis for enhancing management and prevention strategies to reduce the risk of sarcopenia in Vietnam. In particular, attention to nutrient intake and the management of menopausal symptoms may reduce the risk of sarcopenia.Palabras clave
