老年衰弱和肌少症筛查研究进展

Research progress of screening for sarcopenia and frailty in the elderly

肌少症与衰弱是老年人常见的临床综合征,会导致老年人跌倒、失能、死亡等风险增加,影响老年人生活质量。因此,对于肌少症和衰弱的筛查应得到足够重视。国内外对于二者的筛查方法众多,尚无统一的金标准。近年来随着研究的深入,一些对肌少症和衰弱的筛查新方法被提出。本文就目前肌少症和衰弱筛查评估方法的研究现状及进展作一综述,以期能在临床上早期发现及识别肌少症和衰弱。

Sarcopenia and frailty are common geriatric clinical syndromes, commonly lead to falls, incapacity and death, and thus, affect the quality of life in the elderly. Therefore, sufficient attention should be paid to screening for sarcopenia and frailty. There are many screening methods for both of them at home and abroad, but there is still no unified golden standard. In recent years, with in-depth research, some new methods have been proposed for the screening of sarcopenia and frailty. This paper reviewed the research status and advancement of screening and evaluation methods for sarcopenia and frailty in order to discover and identify the 2 diseases early in clinical practice.
