Background: Sarcopenia is a multifactorial geriatric syndrome characterized by age-related loss of muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance. In recent years, neurotrophic and neuromuscular biomarkers have been investigated as potential diagnostic indicators of sarcopenia; however, evidence regarding their sex-specific differences remains limited. Aim: To evaluate the sex-specific associations of serum BDNF, GDNF, and CAF22 levels with sarcopenia and muscle-related parameters among older adults. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included adults aged 60 years and older. Sarcopenia was defined according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS 2019) criteria. Serum BDNF, GDNF, and CAF22 levels were measured using ELISA. Group differences were analyzed using independent t-tests, correlations were assessed using Pearson correlation analysis, and diagnostic performance for sarcopenia was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was also performed. Results: No statistically significant differences were observed in serum BDNF, GDNF, and CAF22 levels between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic participants in either the male or female groups (all p>0.05). ROC analysis demonstrated AUC values ranging from 0.540 to 0.542 in males and from 0.508 to 0.530 in females for BDNF, GDNF, and CAF22. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that age (OR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.04–1.21, p=0.003) and lower fat-free mass index (OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.66–0.91, p=0.001) were significantly associated with sarcopenia, whereas BDNF, GDNF, and CAF22 showed no independent association with sarcopenia. Conclusions 1. No statistically significant sex-specific differences were observed in serum BDNF, GDNF, and CAF22 levels between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic older adults (all p>0.05). 2. CAF22 levels were weakly negatively correlated with muscle mass and fat-free mass index in males (p<0.05), whereas BDNF levels showed weak positive correlations with handgrip strength and fat-free mass index in females (p<0.05). CAF22 levels also demonstrated a weak positive correlation with age (p<0.05). 3. ROC and multivariable logistic regression analyses indicated limited diagnostic utility of BDNF, GDNF, and CAF22 for sarcopenia (AUC=0.508–0.542), and none of these biomarkers showed an independent association with sarcopenia (all p>0.05). In contrast, older age (OR=1.12, p=0.003) and lower fat-free mass index (OR=0.78, p=0.001) were significantly associated with sarcopenia.

Background During the last ten years cardiovascular disease has became one of the priority cause of death in Selenge province, while 23.9 cases in 10.000 population. Studying cause of increasing cardiovascular disease by year and year, connecting with arterial hypertension control and influenced factors is our research work background.GoalTo determine uncontrolled arterial hypertension and evaluate its influenced factors among the population with arterial hypertension in Selenge province.Objectives:1. Research uncontrolled arterial hypertension among the population2. Determine factors that influence uncontrolled arterial hypertensionMaterials and Metods: Research model: Population based moment model of analitic research is used to survey control of population with arterial hypertension. Research coverage and Sampling: Eruu, Zuunburen, and Khutul soums were chosen from 23 soums including center of Selenge province through the random sampling. And then 480 people with arterial hypertension, aged above 18 years were participated in the research. Data was analysed by SPSS 17 program. Collecting information method: Situation of arterial hypertension control is taken by questionnaire method developed by collaboration with WHO and International Association of Arterial Hypertension, and whether follow the drug treatment instruction of physicians is evaluated by MMAS questionnaire method developed by Association of Control Case Managment of America. Arterial hypertension, weight and height of participants were measured. Although people with arterial hypertension under 140-90 mm.Hy are reported “people who are controlling their arterial pressure in normal rate”.ResultsTotally 480 people with arterial hypertension, aged above 18 years were chosen from of Eruu, Zuunburen, and Khutul soums and center of Selenge province. Approximetly, 29.1 percent were male, 70.8 percent were female and average age was 52.43. About 34 percent were high education, 85.8 percent were married and 34.4 percent were retired people. According to the survey, 68 people or 14.1 percent were controlled their arterial pressure/hypertension in normal rate, 412 people or 85.8 percent were uncontrolled their arterial pressure/hypertension in normal rate. Because of the arterial hypertension 59 percent of the participants were under control of physicians. Also there was difference on age and gender with statistical benefit. (p=0.001) People who can control arterial pressure in normal rate were 12.7 percent of people under control of physicians.Conclusions:About 85.8 percent or 412 people with arterial hypertension were uncontrolled, 90 percent were male and 84.1 percent were female. Because of the arterial hypertension, 59 percent of the participants were under control of physicians. But 87.3 percent of them cannot control their arterial pressure/ypertension in normal rate. Physicians control, employment, body mass index and following drug treatment instruction were the factors influence on arterial hypertension control.
