ABSTRACTBackground: Sarcopenia is a decrease in muscle mass and strength that mostly happens in the elderly. Sarcopenia is a problem that is often found in the elderly who are at risk of disability, hospitalization and death. This data on muscle mass and strength with physical performance is expected to support the theory of sarcopenia and as a reference in promoting and preventing sarcopenia in elderly.Aims: To analyze the association between muscle mass and strength (handgrip strength) with physical performance assessed using Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) in an elderly community.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional observational analytic study involving 203 sample of elderly (age >60 years old). The subjects were categorized as the strong and weak muscle mass and muscle strength, also the high, moderate and low physical performance. We used Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) and hand dynamometer to measure muscle mass and muscle strength (handgrip strength). SPPB was used to assess physical performance.The association between muscle mass and strength with physical performance was displayed in bivariate analysis with chi square.Result: Of all 203 subjects, 57 were males and 146 were females. Chi square test showed association between muscle strength (handgrip strength) with physical performance (SPPB) (p=0.001), with a weak correlation (r=0.26) and no association between muscle mass and physical performance (SPPB) (p=0.517).Conclusion: There is a positive association between muscle strength with physical performance, with a weak correlation and no association between muscle mass and physical performance in the elderly community in Surabaya.

BACKGROUND: Geriatric problem characterized by reduced functional ability and impaired adaptation function caused by the decline in various body systems, as well as increased vulnerability to various kinds of stressors, which reduce a person’s functional performance. AIM: This study was aimed to explore the effect of omega-3 supplementation on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in the elderly community in Palembang, Indonesia. METHODS: This study is an open clinical trial, to assess the potential of omega-3 supplementation on muscle mass, handgrip strength, and physical activity of elderly community. Omega-3 is given as much as 1.2 g once a day for 12 weeks orally. Muscle strength was assessed using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis. Meanwhile, the muscle strength was assessed with a muscle dynamometer. RESULTS: Omega-3 supplementation has only shown potent efficacy in improving muscle strength in geriatrics patients (before omega-3 supplementation 25.1 + 5.11; after omega-3 supplementation 26.2 + 5.16; p < 0.05). Omega 3 supplementation did not show significant improvement in muscle mass and gait ability in elderly patients. CONCLUSIONS: Omega-3 supplementation improves handgrip strength but does not increase muscle mass and physical performance for geriatrics.

Introduction: The 200 million people in the world experience urinary incontinence. In general, with increasing age, the capacity of the bladder decreases. The remaining urine in the bladder tends to increase and irregular contraction of the bladder muscles becomes more frequent. This situation often makes the elderly experience problems with the fulfillment of urine elimination needs, namely urinary incontinence. Efforts to overcome urinary incontinence in the form of bladder training programs are aimed at developing muscle tone and bladder sphincter so that it can function optimally. Objective: Knowing the profile of muscle strength and physical performance with the incidence of urinary incontinence in elderly women. Methods: This research was a retrospective descriptive study based on the results of filling out the questionnaire and evaluating it directly. Based on tabulated data, 38 elderly women were selected as the study sample. Results: There were (42.1%) urinary incontinence on elderly with very poor left hand muscle strength and (50%) urinary incontinence on elderly with very poor right hand muscle strength. In physical performance with urinary incontinence as many as (57.8%) were normal and (42.1%) were poor. Conclusions: Muscle strength and physical performance can be used as a measurement to early detection of the urinary incontinence.

Introduction. Old age is related to geriatric syndrome where there are several health problems that often occur related to a decrease in body function and an increase in the inflammatory process. Decrease in muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance will cause a condition of sarcopenia and frailty syndrome in the elderly. The importance of prevention so that sarcopenia does not occur in the elderly by evaluating the factors that can cause it, one of which is controlling interleukin 6 (IL-6) as proinflammatory. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between serum IL-6 levels with muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance in the elderly gymnastics-community in Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital, Palembang. Methods. This research is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach which was conducted at the Integrated Geriatric Clinic Internal Medicine RSMH Palembang from November 2019 to November 2020. A sample of 31 people aged > 60 years was examined for muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance and IL-levels. 6 serum. All data processing and analysis in this study used the SPSS version 25 for Windows program. Results. of the 31 subjects, 27 were female (87.1%) and 4 male (12.9%). The mean value of muscle mass is37.9 kg/m2, muscle strength 23 kg, and physical performance 6.1 m/sec.There were 28 (90.3%) samples with elevated serum IL-6 levels, while 3 (9.7%) samples had normal levels. There was a significant negative correlation (p = 0.000) with a strong correlation strength (r = -0.722) between serum IL-6 levels and muscle mass and a significant negative correlation (p = 0.050) with a weak correlation strength (r = -0.354) between IL levels -6 serums with physical performance. Conclusions. There was a significant negative correlation between serum IL-6 levels and muscle mass and physical performance. So, it is very important to prevent an increase in serum IL-6 levels so that the elderly do not fall into a state of sarcopenia.

Strengthening Exercise

Physiologically aging causes the decreased of muscle mass, strength, and or limited activity known as sarcopenia in the elderly. The decrease in muscle capacity occurs in all elderly, active, or sedentary. Exercise for the elderly is considered not enough to prevent the decrease of function that will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to add strength training to the elderly, such as elastic band exercise. The effect of strength training in 12 weeks with elastic band strengthening exercise on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance as sarcopenia parameters measured in this study. The interventional study design was conducted in elderly community-dwelling in Bandung city, West Java, from May to July 2016. Thirty elderly (60–81 years old) muscle mass measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), handgrip strength using hand dynamometer and walking distance as the parameter of physical performance, using 6-minute walking test. Significant differences found in hand muscle strength (p=0.007), walking distance (p=0.000) after elastic band strengthening exercise, but there were no significant changes in muscle mass (p=0.236) even though the muscle mass increased after 12 weeks of strengthening exercise. In conclusion, additional elastic band strength exercise for regular elderly exercise can increase muscle strength and physical performance. PENGARUH LATIHAN DENGAN PITA ELASTIK TERHADAP PARAMETER SARKOPENIA PADA USILA DI KOMUNITASPenuaan secara fisiologis menyebabkan penurunan massa, kekuatan otot dan/atau keterbatasan aktivitas pada usia lanjut (usila). Penurunan kemampuan otot ini terjadi pada semua usila, baik yang aktif maupun nonaktif sehingga senam usila yang ada dianggap tidak mencukupi untuk mencegah penurunan fungsi yang akan terjadi. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan penambahan latihan kekuatan pada usila seperti latihan kekuatan menggunakan pita elastik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh latihan kekuatan dengan pita elastik selama 12 minggu terhadap massa otot, kekuatan otot, dan performa fisik yang merupakan parameter sarkopenia pada usila. Desain penelitian intervensi dilakukan pada usila di komunitas Kota Bandung, Jawa Barat periode bulan Mei sampai Juli 2016. Sebanyak 30 partisipan (usia 60–81 tahun) diukur massa otot menggunakan bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) dan kekuatan otot menggunakan dinamometer tangan, serta uji jalan 6 menit untuk mengukur performa fisik. Perbedaan bermakna ditemukan pada kekuatan otot tangan (p=0,007) dan jarak tempuh jalan (p=0,000) setelah dilakukan latihan kekuatan dengan pita elastik, tetapi tidak didapatkan perbedaan bermakna pada massa otot tangan dan kaki (p=0,236) walaupun terjadi peningkatan massa otot setelah dilakukan latihan selama 12 minggu. Simpulan, penambahan latihan kekuatan dengan pita elastik pada program senam usila meningkatkan secara bermakna kekuatan otot dan performa fisik usila.

Abstract Background Sarcopenia (SA) is a progressive skeletal muscle disorder, associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes, including falls, fractures, physical disability and mortality. Several risks factors may contribute to the development of SA in the elderly; among them, nutrition plays a key role in muscle health. The elderly are at risk of inadequate intake in terms of micronutrients affecting muscle-homeostasis, such as B vitamins, related to homocysteine (Hcy) metabolism. Objectives and Methods This narrative review analysed the association between increased Hcy levels and SA, according to the criteria of the International Working Group on Sarcopenia, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People and the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia. The authors focused not only on SA per se but also on exploring the association between increased Hcy levels and components of SA, including muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance. Results Results are inconsistent, except for muscle mass, showing no significant associations with Hcy levels. Conclusions Few and conflicting data emerged in this review on the association between SA and increased Hcy levels due to numerous differences between studies that change the significance of the association of Hcy and SA, as well as with the muscle strength, muscle mass and physical performance. Furthermore, because the ageing process is not uniform in the population due to differences in genetics, lifestyle and general health, chronological age fails to address the observed heterogeneity among the "elderly" of the studies reported in this revision. Therefore, further studies are still needed.
