“…Moreover, as older adult women have a higher muscle reduction rate than older adult men and a longer life expectancy [ 9 ], they are a vulnerable group that is likely to be in a vicious cycle caused by sarcopenia. The quality of life (QoL) of older people with sarcopenia is also related to mental health, i.e., having sarcopenia was associated with a higher level of depression or anxiety, lower subjective health perception and nutritional status, and poorer QoL [ 10 ]. Moreover, because older people have many diseases, HRQoL was found to be related to the type of health insurance currently subscribed to and whether private medical insurance is available [ 11 ].…”

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors influencing the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older adult women with sarcopenia.Methods: The study was secondary data analysis using data from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The final sample consisted of 142 women aged 60 years and older with sarcopenia and were selected from 8,110 women. The participants was analyzed using complex descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and regression.Results: In terms of HRQoL, three general characteristics were found to be influential, with an explanatory power of 56.0%: difficulty climbing stairs, difficulty working, and perceived health status. Having no or mild difficulty when climbing stairs (B=.20, p=.001; B=.21, p<.001) and no or mild difficulty when working (B=.25, p=. 002; B=.208, p=.013) had a significant effect on HRQoL compared to severe difficulty. Having good or ordinary perceived health status had a significant effect on the HRQoL (B=.11, p<.001; B=.09, p<.001).Conclusion: Based on study findings that the HRQoL of older adult women with sarcopenia were influenced by difficulty climbing stairs and working, as well as good perceived health status, healthcare providers should assist elderly women to maintain physical activities in their daily lives.

This study aimed to develop a faster and simpler user-centered approach for sarcopenia identification and management using a novel balance sensor system and wearable robots. The study design was a cross-sectional study. The research was conducted based on a community-based study in Hong Kong. A total of 144 community-dwelling older adults were included. Sarcopenia was defined according to the guidelines published by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass was calculated using the Lee equation. Among the 46 features extracted from the balance sensor system, 15 displayed a sensitivity >0.8 through a machine-learning approach. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of the logistic model in discriminating sarcopenia was 0.68. This study demonstrated that a novel balance sensor system proved useful in sarcopenia identification in older adults. Furthermore, the balance sensor data were valuable in informing the development of wearable robots for sarcopenia management.
