ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

OBJECTIVE:

Frailty in older adults is a geriatric syndrome that has gained importance in the last decade. However, there is still no consolidated information regarding diagnostic tools that allow timely identification, and therefore, provide an appropriate therapeutic approach. The objective is to determine the Thickness of the Rectus Femoris Muscle (GMRF) and Thickness of the Vastus Intermedius Muscle (GMVI) in older Mexican adults with frailty and sarcopenia. MATERIAL AND

METHODS:

Cross-sectional, descriptive and comparative study in patients ≥65 years of age, admitted to the geriatrics service. The selection was according to the FRAIL (frail vs. non-frail) and SARC-F (high risk vs. low risk) classification; evaluating GMRF and GMVI by ultrasound. The data were analyzed through the statistical software Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) ver. 25.

RESULTS:

The number of patients evaluated in the study and control group were 136 respectively. Significant differences were found regarding frailty status in age (years) (Frail 75.06±7.92 vs. Non-frail 71.60±5.56; P<.001), GMRF (mm) (Frail 8.41±3.08 vs. Non-frail 11.03±3.50; P<.001) and GMVI (mm) (Frail 6.53±2.64 vs. Non-frail 8.66±2.68; P<.001); Considering sarcopenia, there were differences in age (years) (High risk sarcopenia 75.17±7.84 vs low risk sarcopenia; 71.49±5.60; P<.001), GMRF (mm) (high risk sarcopenia 8.45±3.11 vs low risk sarcopenia 10.98±3.50; P<.001) and GMVI (mm) (High risk Sarcopenia 6.67±2.63 vs Low risk Sarcopenia 8.52±2.79; P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

The results found show that there is a significant difference in GMRF and GMVI in Mexican older adults with respect to frailty and sarcopenia. In this way, the present investigation establishes clinical bases for the use of ultrasonography assessments in the geriatric population.
