| Abstrakt: | Background: Research findings on skeletal muscle degeneration in post-stroke sarcopenic obesity are limited. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the association between post-stroke sarcopenic obesity and quantitative and qualitative changes in skeletal muscles. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted on patients with stroke admitted to the convalescent rehabilitation ward. For skeletal muscle assessment, an ultrasound system was used to measure quadriceps muscle thickness and echo intensity (QMT and QEI) on the paretic and non-paretic sides. Sarcopenic obesity was defined as the presence of both sarcopenia and obesity. Multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the relationships between sarcopenic obesity and QMT and QEI. Results: A total of 130 patients with stroke were included in this study (mean age: 69.4 ± 12.7 years). The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity was 23.1%. The multiple regression analysis showed that sarcopenic obesity was significantly negatively associated with QMT on both the paretic and non-paretic sides (paretic side: β = −0.28, p < 0.001; non-paretic side: β = −0.37, p < 0.001) and significantly positively associated with QEI (paretic side β = 0.21, p = 0.034; non-paretic side: β = 0.20, p = 0.029). Conclusions: Post-stroke sarcopenic obesity was independently associated with quantitative and qualitative changes in skeletal muscles on both the paretic and non-paretic sides.
