This study examined the effects of a person-centered nursing intervention program for frailty (PNIF) targeting community-dwelling prefrail older people in South Korea. The study participants were 40 community-dwelling older adults (≥65 years) who were classified as prefrail on the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) frailty index. The intervention group (n = 20) received group intervention sessions two days/week for twelve weeks and the control group (n = 20) attended lectures about frailty prevention one day/week for four weeks. The evaluation instruments included the CHS Frailty Index, a JAMAR® hydraulic hand dynamometer, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), the Korean version of the Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors Questionnaire (K-CHAMPS), the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), the Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form-Korea Version (GDSSF-K), the ENRICHD Social Support Instrument (ESSI), and the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS). Significant differences were found in the CHS Frailty Index (p < 0.001), left-hand grip strength (p = 0.022), right-hand grip strength (p = 0.009), SPPB (p = 0.007), K-CHAMPS (p = 0.009), MNA (p = 0.018), and GDSSF-K (p = 0.001) between the two groups after 12 weeks. No significant between-group differences in ESSI scores were observed. The PNIF effectively improved grip strength, physical function, physical activity, and nutritional status, reduced depression, and prevented frailty among community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract Sarcopenia that accompanies aging necessitates early detection tools, ideally before the presentation of clinically evident symptoms. The acylcarnitines (ACs) are a class of metabolites generated by cellular fuel metabolism and their predictive utility in declining muscle strength in community-dwelling older adults is unknown. We aim to examine whether baseline acylcarnitines levels can predict changes in hand grip strength over 18 months in 121 community-dwelling older adults. We measured ACs by targeted plasma metabolomics profiling. We then performed a biologically-relevant classification of these markers. Hand grip strength was measured using a Smedley spring-type dynamometer. Multivariate linear regressions were performed to examine if: 1) there was an association between ACs and hand grip strength at baseline and 2) baseline ACs could significantly predict changes in hand grip strength over an 18-month period. At baseline, AC levels were not significantly associated with hand grip strength. We found an inverse association between baseline short-chain carboxyl and dihydroxl acylcarnitines (AC-DC/-OH) levels and 18-month changes in hand grip strength (p=0.047, β=-0.548, 95% CI=-1.088 to -0.008). Notably, a specific AC-DC/-OH species, C4-DC/C6-OH, accounts for the majority of the variance. The mean difference between Malay and Chinese ethnicity is 2.28kg (p=0.042, β=2.275, 95% CI=0.084 to 4.466). These findings suggest an association between metabolic markers and deterioration in hand grip strength. These results suggest that perturbations in fuel metabolism are detectable way before the emergence of clinically evident sarcopenia and frailty. The use of AC-DC/-OH panel as antecedent biomarkers may enable clinicians to risk stratify patients in the future.

The Difference

Although recent clinical studies have suggested that water intake enhances muscle mass, its impact on muscle strength remain unclear, especially in older adults. This cross-sectional, population-based study using a representative sample of Koreans investigated the relationship of water intake with hand grip strength (HGS) in 4443 older adults, including 2090 men aged ≥50 years and 2253 postmenopausal women. A digital grip strength dynamometer was used for HGS assessment. Low muscle strength was defined by the Korean-specific HGS cut-off value and adequate water intake was defined according to the Korean dietary reference intakes. In an unadjusted model, water intake was significantly higher in men and women without than with low muscle strength (both p < 0.001), but this difference disappeared after adjustment for confounding variables in both men (p = 0.050) and women (p = 0.245). Similarly, the correlation between water intake and HGS, the difference in HGS depending on adequate water intake status, and the risk of low muscle strength depending on water intake quartile were significant only in the unadjusted model. These data indicate that factors such as age, body size, and resistance exercise contribute to improvements in HGS in older adults, whereas water intake may not.
