“… 3 , 4 Normal muscle health can be broadly defined as adequate muscle mass and function (muscle strength and physical performance). 3 , 5 Hence, poor muscle health may be defined as the presence of either low muscle mass, low muscle strength, or low physical performance. In this study, we further categorize poor muscle health into its components, including pre‐sarcopenia (poor muscle mass alone), poor muscle function (low muscle strength and/or low physical performance without low muscle mass), and any sarcopenia in which both muscle mass and function are affected.…”

BackgroundWe aim to determine the multiethnic patterns of the prevalence and associated factors of poor muscle health and its associated components in older Chinese, Malays, and Indian Asian adults.MethodsWe included 2199 participants (mean age ± SD: 72.9 ± 8.3 years; 54.3% female) from the baseline assessment of the Population Health and Eye Disease Profile in Elderly Singaporeans (PIONEER; 2017–2022) cohort study. Poor muscle health was defined as the presence of either low muscle mass (DEXA), or low muscle strength (handgrip strength), or low physical performance (gait speed). Its components include poor muscle function (low muscle strength and/or low physical performance without low muscle mass), pre‐sarcopenia (low muscle mass only), and any sarcopenia (low muscle mass with low muscle strength and/or low physical performance). Sociodemographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors were assessed using biochemistry, clinical tests, and validated questionnaires. Regression models were utilized to evaluate the independent risk factors of poor muscle health and its components.ResultsThe national census‐adjusted prevalence of poor muscle health (88%) was similar across the three ethnic groups. However, Chinese individuals had higher prevalence of pre‐sarcopenia and any sarcopenia, and a lower prevalence of poor muscle function compared with Indians or Malays. We observed ethnic differences in modifiable risk factors (low physical activity, diabetes, osteoporosis, and obesity) of poor muscle health and its components. Although obesity was protective of pre‐sarcopenia (RRR = 0.19, 95% CI: 0.11, 0.36) and any sarcopenia (RRR = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.18, 0.47) in the overall population and across ethnic groups, it was associated with 1.7 times (95% CI: 1.07, 2.67) the likelihood of poor muscle function in the entire population.ConclusionsAlmost 90% of community dwelling Singaporean aged ≥60 years have poor muscle health across the three ethnic groups with ethnic disparities in modifiable risk factors, highlighting an urgent need for community‐wide targeted interventions to promote muscle health.

Lanjut usia (lansia) di Kecamatan Mengwi, Badung, menghadapi tantangan serius terkait diabetes mellitus (DM). Penelitian ini menginvestigasi kompleksitas interaksi kadar gula darah, fungsi kognitif, kekuatan genggaman tangan, dan keseimbangan pada lansia, mengisi kesenjangan pengetahuan untuk pengembangan strategi kesehatan holistik. Penelitian di Desa Abianbase, Kecamatan Mengwi, Badung, pada Oktober 2023, melibatkan pra-lansia dan lansia dengan desain observasional analitik dan teknik pengambilan sample secara total sampling sebanyak 113 responden. Analisis statistik Chi-Square digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan antar variabel. Analisis statistik menunjukkan korelasi positif antara kadar gula darah dengan kekuatan genggaman tangan (p=0,024) dan keseimbangan (p=0,004), sementara hubungan dengan fungsi kognitif tidak signifikan (p=0,151). Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan signifikan antara kadar gula darah dan status kognitif, namun terdapat hubungan antara kadar gula darah dengan kekuatan genggam tangan dan keseimbangan. Kontrol gula darah dapat mendukung keseimbangan dan kekuatan genggam tangan. Studi ini memberikan wawasan penting, namun penelitian lebih lanjut dengan subjek yang lebih besar diperlukan untuk konfirmasi lebih lanjut.
