AbstrakAging atau penuaan merupakan sebuah proses yang merubah seorang manusia dewasa menjadi lanjut usia. Kebanyakan manusia dewasa adalah sehat dan dapat beraktivitas tanpa bantuan siapapun. Lalu, saat berusia lanjut akan mengalami penurunan fungsi fisiologis dan menjadi lebih rentan terhadap berbagai macam penyakit. Frailty syndrome sering dikorelasikan dengan munculnya kondisi patologis pada lanjut usia. Pada penelitian sebelumnya disebutkan bahwa malnutrisi dan imobilitas merupakan kunci dari berkembangnya frailty. Penelitian ini ingin membuktikan adanya hubungan antara pola makan yang dilihat dari asupan protein dengan frailty syndrome di Kota Malang. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode case control dengan populasi lansia di Kota Malang. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Frailty syndrome diukur menggunakan frailty index yang berisi 40 item. Asupan protein diukur dalam g/hari dan dalam asupan energi. Hasil uji korelasi Spearman menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara jumlah protein dengan frailty syndrome. Namun, tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara asupan energi dengan frailty syndrome. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah asupan protein yang tinggi berhubungan dengan semakin kecilnya kejadian frailty syndrome. Namun, asupan energi tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan terhadap angka kejadian frailty syndrome. AbstractAging is a process that transforms young adults into elderly people. Most of adults are healthy and able to do any activities without being help by other people. In elderly people, they are suffering from psychological fitness and are susceptible to any kind of disease. Frailty syndrome is often correlated with the emergence of pathological conditions in the elderly people. Previous researchers proved that malnutrition and immobility is the key to frailty syndrome. This research aims at proving the relationship between protein intake and frailty syndrome in Malang City. The method used was case control and the population were elderly people. The sample was collected by using purposive sampling method. Frailty syndrome was measured by using frailty index of 40 items. Protein intake was measured by g/day and by energy intake. Spearman Correlation test showed that there were significant relationship between protein intake and frailty syndrome. However, this test does not indicate significant relationship between energy intake and frailty syndrome. The research was concluded that high protein intake may decrease frailty syndrome, but energy intake may not significantly influence frailty syndrome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
