老年人力量测评研究进展——基于“健康老龄化”背景下的功能发挥视角

Research Progress on the Muscle Strength Assessment in Older Adults:on the basis of the perspective of functional ability under healthy aging

“健康老龄化”是从健康和医疗角度应对人口老龄化的有效路径。在“健康老龄化”概念框架下,维持老年人的功能发挥应该是老年人健康促进的最终目标,因而,老年人的健康评估也应基于功能发挥视角展开。本研究基于世界卫生组织提出的“健康老龄化”概念框架下的功能发挥视角,对肌肉力量与老年人功能发挥、老年人主要功能评估工具的研究进展进行了概述,并对基于功能视角开发的,在老年人力量测评中被广泛使用的握力、手臂弯举和坐站测试3项测试指标的测试意义、测试方法,以及和健康的关系等研究进行了综述和展望。

Healthy aging is an effective public health approach to deal with population aging.Within the conceptual framework of healthy aging,maintaining the functional ability is the ultimate goal of promoting wellbeing in older adults.Therefore,the health assessment of older adults should be conducted based on the perspective of functional ability.On the basis of the perspective of functional ability within the conceptual framework of healthy aging proposed by the World Health Organization,this study reviewed the research progresses on muscle strength and functional ability in older adults,as well as muscle strength assessments of older adults.Grip strength test,arm curl test and chair stand test are three assessments developed under the perspective of functional ability,which are widely used in the muscle strength assessment in older adults.Additionally,this study also reviewed and prospected the research on the measurement significance,measurement methods and health-related relationships of grip strength test,arm curl test and chair stand test.
