Abstract |
Objectives : To evaluate relationships between nutritional status, sarcopenia and osteoporosis in older women.Subjects and methods : We studied 44 women, 67-94 years, by mini-nutritional assessment (MAN), glomerular filtration corr. 1.73 m2, body mass index (BMI), arm circumference and calf (CP and CB), bone mineral density and body composition, DXA (fat mass MG; lean MM). We gauge sarcopenia: IMM MM = MSS + MIS/height2. We used the Pearson correlation coefficient, p < 0.05 as significant.Results : MNA and IMM were positively correlated with BMI, CP, CB and MG. Age influenced negatively FG corr., BMI, FM, IMM and CP. Fourteen had a history of osteoporotic fractures. The lowest T-score was directly related to MAN and MG.Conclusions The aging caused the decline of FG, fat mass and muscle; the calf circumference, and brachial reflected nutritional status and body composition; and major influences on BMD were nutritional status and fat mass.Arq Bras Endocrinol Metab. 2014;58(3):226-31. |
