BackgroundThe present study aimed to investigate the prevalence status, physiological, psychological, and social participation status of the elderly with sarcopenia in the Urumqi community and provide a solid foundation for the later development of effective intervention strategies using the theory of healthy aging. MethodsFrom July 2019 to July 2020, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used to investigate the elderly aged 60 and above who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in HongShiYue, RiYue XingGuang, and the leather factory community of Urumqi City, Xinjiang. The sarcopenia was assessed using the Ishii screening scale. The general information questionnaire, MNA nutritional status of the elderly in the community, PHQ-9 depression scale, GAD-7 anxiety scale, and Social Participation Questionnaire of the elderly were investigated.ResultsThe prevalence rate of sarcopenia was 38.8%. We found that nutritional status, depressive symptoms, and social participation status directly affected sarcopenia, with the corresponding effect values being -0.322, -0.096, and 0.093. This was done by creating a structural equation model of the effects of nutritional status, psychological status, and social participation status on sarcopenia.ConclusionCommunity health care professionals should evaluate the early active prevention and intervention of sarcopenia in the elderly. In order to provide psychological and social support for the elderly to achieve healthy aging and improve their quality of life in old age, the public should take more care of the elderly, pay attention to their mental health, and improve their physical condition. |
