Abstract:
Objective To investigate status,the influencing factors and nursing measures for sarcopenia in the elderly patients with comorbidity.Methods A total of 385 elderly patients with comorbidity hospitalised in our hospital from January 2020 to March 2023 were included as the research objects by convience sampling.General data questionnaire and electronic medical record system were used to collect relevant data.According to a presence or absence of sarcopenia the elderly comorbid patients were divided into a sarcopenia group and a control group.Logistic regression was used to analyse the influencing factors of sarcopenia in the elderly patients and the relevant nursing measures.Results It was found that a total of 134(34.81%)elderly comorbid inpatients had developed sarcopenia.where male was 53.73%,female was 46.27%.Logistic regression analysis indicated that old age(OR=1.106),high asthenia score(OR=2.827),high CCI(Charlson Comorbidity Index)score(OR=1.507),low BMI(OR=0.314)and low ADL(activity of daily life)were the factors of sarcopenia(all P<0.05).Conclusions This study has identified that the influencing factors of sarcopenia in hospitalised elderly patients with comorbidity were old age,low BMI,low ADL,high weakness score and high CCI.Medical staff should take appropriate measures that are pertinent to the influencing factors in order to reduce the occurrence of sarcopenia among the hospitalised elderly patients with comorbidity.
