Sarcopenia and osteoporosis in Portuguese centenarians

Abstract: Gender was revealed to be a relevant factor influencing BM and MM in centenarians. MM and BM were better predictors of underweight than was dehydration. Healthy BM and MM were positively related with PPA intensity and determined physical performance, having a positive impact on the centenarian's independence. During aging, improving physical function might add to sarcopenia and osteoporosis prevention, besides prevention of femur neck fractures and cardiovascular diseases.

“…In addition, these patients were more likely to have osteoporosis. As has been shown in several studies, greater muscle mass protects against osteoporosis and also an increase in bone density decreases the risk of sarcopenia [29]. Mechanical loading is a key mechanism that links both tissues, thereby enhancing the role of physical activity in maintaining musculoskeletal health.…”

“…The control group consisted of 268 individuals, with mean age 67.51 ± 3.25 years, being 165 women (61.6%) aged mean ± SD: 67.58 ± 3.19 years and 103 men (38.4%) with mean age ± SD: 67.41 ± 3.36. This sample was also the basis of other previous observational studies [ 16 , 35 , 38 , 39 ]. This group was subdivided into low (LCR, n = 107) and high (HCR, n = 161) cardiovascular risk subgroups, based on Q risk®2-2016 score [ 33 ].…”

“…Согласно доступным данным медицинской литературы, наше исследование представляет собой одно из единичных работ по изучению композиционного состава тела у долгожителей [5,6,11]. В большинстве других публикаций были представлены результаты исследований состава тела у лиц пожилого возраста и сравнение их с более молодыми людьми.…”

“…В большинстве других публикаций были представлены результаты исследований состава тела у лиц пожилого возраста и сравнение их с более молодыми людьми. Следует отметить, что результаты изучения композиционного состава тела долгожителей с помощью двухэнергетической рентгеновской абсорбциометрии в доступной нам литературе не встретились; в немногочисленных исследованиях у долгожителей использовалась менее чувствительная методика -биоимпедансный анализ [5,6,11].…”
