Physical activity, nutritional status and depression related to sarcopenia community dwelling older adults
Keywords:
sarcopenia, physical activity, nutritional status, depression, community dwelling older adultsAbstract
This descriptive correlational research was aimed at studying relationship between sarcopenia with factors such as physical activity, nutritional status and depression for 60 and above years old adults. The sample of 88 persons living in Amphoe Muang Khonkaen were included. Data analysis was carried out using Spearman’s Rank Correlation. The results revealed that an average age of 68.57 years (S.D. =5.39) were detected to have sarcopenia which translates to 13.6%. The finding revealed that, depression (rs= 280, p<0.01) and BMI (rs= -.275, p<0.01) had a relationship with sarcopenia. While waist circumference and physical activity were not significantly associated with sarcopenia. The result of this study could be used as a guideline for health promotion strategies to promote normal BMI and mental health care in young older adults in order to prevent sarcopenia.
