Asupan Protein Mempengaruhi Terjadinya Frailty Syndrome Berdasarkan Frailty Index Pada Usia Lanjut Di Kota Malang

Abstract

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.

Relationship between Nutritional Status, Frailty, and Cognitive Function among Elderly at Dr. H. Moch. Ansari Saleh General Hospital Banjarmasin

“…Insufficient antioxidant intake results in oxidative stress, causing cells and tissues disruption. Protein intake deficiency is significantly associated with frailty in the elderly (2). Some of the crucial roles of protein are cell regeneration and protein synthesis for muscle mass improvement so that improving protein intake will prevent weakness and decrease muscle mass in the elderly, thereby reducing the risk of frailty in the elderly (2).…”

“…Frailty has five characteristics: weakness, decreased walking speed, low physical activity, fatigue, and decreased body weight. The risk of frailty increases with age; 30% occurs in those older than 80 years and about 7% in the elderly aged 65 years or older (2,5).…”

The Road to Healthy Ageing: What Has Indonesia Achieved So Far?

“…Inflammation induced by PM with an aerodynamic diameter of fewer than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) is hypothesized to be a biological link between air pollution and increased morbidity and mortality of chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease [75,76]. Worldwide, 9 out of 10 people were found to breathe polluted air, and it is estimated that 7 million people die annually due to air pollution [77].…”
