Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effect of multicomponent training on nutritional status and muscle function in older adults with frailty syndrome.Methods:A total of 120 elderly patients with frailty syndrome of Elderly Diagnosis and Treatment and Physical Examination Center,Jiangsu Provincial People′s Hospital from June 2018 to December 2019 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, each contained 60 cases. The control group received routine nursing care. On the basis of these, the observation group was given multicomponent training. The nutritional status, frailty status and muscle function were compared between two groups before and after 12 weeks of intervention.Results:Before intervention, there was no significant difference in the nutritional status, degree of frailty and muscle function between the two groups ( P>0.05). After intervention, the protein, skeletal muscle and total plasma protein, serum albumin, serum prealbumin and transferrin were (7.55 ± 1.34) kg, (21.37 ± 2.41) kg, (61.97 ± 5.69) g/L, (229.05 ± 17.67)mg/L, (42.14 ± 4.83) g/L, (2 364.29 ± 296.31) mg/L in the observation group, significantly higher than those in the control group (6.92 ± 0.97) kg, (20.31 ± 2.04) kg, (57.96 ± 5.22) g/L, (210.15 ± 27.99) mg/L, (37.66 ± 5.75) g/L, (2 247.42 ± 267.39) mg/L, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.19-4.47, P<0.05). After intervention, the scores of physical, psychological and total frailty were 6.03 ± 0.71, 2.46 ± 0.73, 9.63 ± 0.99 in the observation group, significantly higher than in the control group (6.45 ± 0.95) pionts, (2.71 ± 0.52) pionts, (10.34 ± 1.20) pionts, the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.67, 2.02, 3.39, P<0.05). After intervention, the side-by-side, full-tandem, 4-m walk, repeated chair stands scores and total Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores were (0.87 ± 0.28) pionts, (1.65 ± 0.29) pionts, (2.09 ± 0.47) pionts, (1.93 ± 0.49) pionts, (7.36 ± 0.75) pionts, those socres were (0.72 ± 0.31) pionts, (1.50 ± 0.31) pionts, (1.87 ± 0.61) pionts, (1.70 ± 0.62) pionts, (6.55 ± 0.89) pionts in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.16-5.18, P<0.05). Conclusions:Multicomponent training can improve the nutritional status and muscle function and delay the progress of frailty in elderly in elderly patients.
