Abstract:
Objective:To observe body composition and the occurrence of sarcopenia in tumor patients so as to provide evidence for the early monitoring of their nutritional status .Methods:Bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) was adopted to analyze the body composition and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) was used to observe the occurrence of sarcopenia to explore the relationship between BMI and sarcopenia in 224 patients with tumor .The body composition of 224 cases of tumor patients was analyzed by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) .The occurrence of sarcopenia was observed with appendicular skeletal mass index (ASMI) ,and the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and sarcopenia was also explored .Results:In 224 tumor patients ,13 .4% (30/224) were underweight ,60 .7% (136/224) were normal weight and 25 .9% (58/224) were overweight or obese .The incidence of sarcopenia was 58 .04% (130/224) ,and 77 .7% (101/130) of the patients with sarcopenia were normal ,overweight or obese .Conclusions:The change of the muscle and its function in cancer patients is as noteworthy as weight loss .Body composition of cancer patients should be timely monitored in order to optimize nutritional risk screening , establish individualized nutritional support , and develop the treatment plan with best tolerance .
