“…The discriminant validity of the Polish version of the questionnaire was thereby confirmed. Similar results were observed in the other translated versions of the SarQoL ® [ 13 , 14 ]. In our study, the domains of physical and mental health (D1), locomotion (D2), body composition (D3), and activities of daily living (D5) were also significantly lower in sarcopenic subjects compared to non-sarcopenic ones.…”

“…The questionnaire is scored out of 100 points using a special scoring algorithm, with higher scores reflecting a better quality of life (QoL). SarQoL ® was initially developed and validated in French, but the translated English and Romanian versions of the questionnaire have been recently validated and have been proven to be understandable, valid and consistent versions of the questionnaire [ 13 , 14 ]. These analyses of SarQoL ® have also demonstrated its ability to discriminate sarcopenic subjects from non-sarcopenic ones based on their health-related QoL.…”

Recently, SarQoL® (Sarcopenia and Quality of Life), a quality of life (QoL) questionnaire specific to sarcopenia, was successfully developed. For practical reasons, there is a great interest in validating this questionnaire in other populations. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to translate and adjust the SarQoL® into Polish and to standardize the validity of this method for the assessment of sarcopenic individuals in Poland with regard to psychometric properties. The English version was used for the translation process. A total of 106 community-dwelling Caucasian subjects aged 73.3 ± 5.94 years (65.1% females) were studied, with 60 participants being diagnosed sarcopenic. The translation and cross-cultural adaptation was carried out in five phases according to specific standard guidelines. There were no major linguistic issues in the translation process. The data confirmed a good discriminant validity, i.e., significantly lower scores for all domains (reduced global QoL in sarcopenic subjects compared to non-sarcopenic ones; 54.9 ± 16.5 vs. 63.3 ± 17.1, p = 0.013), and high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.92). The significant correlation of the SarQoL® scores with those of other questionnaires (SF-36v2® Health Survey and EuroQoL-5-Dimension) that are supposed to have similar dimensions indicated the consistent construct validity of the SarQoL®-PL questionnaire. No floor/ceiling effects were found. An excellent agreement was found between the test and the re-test (intraclass coefficient correlation (ICC): 0.99). The first Polish version of the SarQoL® questionnaire is valid and consistent and therefore may be used with reliability for clinical and research purposes regarding QoL assessment of sarcopenic individuals. However, further research, in particular prospective studies, is needed to determine potential limitations and the suitability of the new tool for the Polish scenario and specificity.

Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized loss of muscle mass and function with advancing age. 1,2) This geriatric syndrome is now considered an increasing public health issue worldwide. 3) Sarcopenia is associated with adverse health outcomes such as physical impairment, mobility limitations, increased fall risk, hospitalization, and mortality. 4) In the last decade, several sarcopenia definitions and proposals for diagnostic criteria have been published. Among these, the revised consensus criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) appear to be the most promising. The EWGSOP2 considers sarcopenia to be present when a person presents with both low muscle strength and low muscle mass. Additionally, people with low physical performance are categorized as severely sarcopenic. 3) This condition can also impact patient quality of life. Since this aspect is not straightforward for clinical evaluation, the issue is less studied so far. The existing quality of life questionnaires, such as the Short Form 36 (SF-36) and EuroQoL 5-dimension (EQ-5D), are designed for use in a broad swath of health conditions and pa

“…A SarQoL (Sarcopenia Quality of Life -sarcopenia és életminőség) volt az első betegségspecifikus kérdőív, mely a sarcopeniás betegek életminőségével foglalkozik, és amelyet azért fejlesztettek ki, hogy átfogó képet kapjunk a 65 évesnél idősebb, közösségben élő személyek életminőségéről. Eredetileg francia nyelven készült, egy évvel később angol, majd román nyelvre is lefordították és validálták [3][4][5].…”

Sarcopenia és életminőség: a Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL) kérdőív hiteles magyar fordítása

Bevezetés: A sarcopenia, vagy időskori izomerő-és izomtömeg-csökkenés, napjaink komoly népegészségtani problémája. A betegséggel járó csökkent fizikai teljesítőképesség miatt az érintettek életminősége bizonyíthatóan romlik. Az általános életminőséget mérő skálák, mint a Rand Corporation Short Form 36 (SF-36) vagy a European Quality of Life (EuroQoL-5D) kérdőív nem mérik, és így nem mutatják ki a sarcopenia -életminőségre kifejtett -speciális hatását. A Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL -sarcopenia és életminőség) az első kimondottan erre a betegségre vonatkozó kérdőív, amelyet nemrég abból a célból fejlesztettek ki, hogy átfogó képet nyújtson a 65 évesnél idősebb sarcopeniás személyek életminőségéről. Célkitűzés: Az eredeti SarQoL kérdőív magyar nyelvű, érvényes változatának kifejlesztése volt a célunk, annak fordítása, kultúrközi adaptációja és magyar nyelvi validálása révén. Módszer: A fordításhoz az ajánlott nemzetközi protokollt követtük, ennek öt lépése: két külön magyar fordítás, a két változat szintézise, visszafordítása angol nyelvre, az eredeti és a visszafordított változatok szakértői csoport általi öszszevetése, előtesztelés. A magyar nyersfordítást 20 különböző iskolázottságú és társadalmi hátterű vizsgált személy (10 klinikailag sarcopeniásként kórismézett és 10 nem sarcopeniás) töltötte ki. Minden személynél felmértük a kérdések érthetőségét, a válaszadáskor adódó esetleges nehézségeket.Eredmények: Az eredeti kérdőív szerzői által a fordításhoz előírt módszertan elvárásai szerint a végső változat az eredetivel mind tartalmilag, mind pontosságában megegyezett. A SarQoL kérdőívet kifejlesztő munkacsoport a magyar változatot közérthetőnek, feladatára alkalmasnak, hitelesnek találta. Következtetés: A klinikai jellemzők alapján kórismézett sarcopeniás személyek által kitöltött kérdőív a hazai tartalmi hitelesítést követően hasznos és szükséges életminőség-értékelő eszközként áll majd a sarcopeniás magyar betegek rendelkezésére. Sarcopenia and quality of life: the validated Hungarian translation of the Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL) questionnaireIntroduction: Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, is emerging as a serious public health concern. Due to the impaired physical performance associated with sarcopenia, a reduced quality of life (QoL) has been evidenced in the affected individuals. Generic instruments, such as Rand Corporation Short Form 36 (SF-36) or the European Quality of Life (EuroQoL-5D) questionnaires do not accurately assess the impact of sarcopenia on QoL. SarQoL (Sarcopenia Quality of Life) questionnaire, was the first disease-specific questionnaire addressing the quality of life in patients with sarcopenia and has been recently designed for providing a global assessment of the quality of life in community-dwelling elderly subjects aged 65 years and older. Aim: Our aim was the development of a valid Hungarian version of the original SarQoL, through the translation, cultural adaptation and content validation of the original questionnaire. Method: We followed the recommended proces...
