肥胖与老年衰弱相关研究进展

Research progress on the correlation between obesity and geriatric frailty

摘要:

老年人衰弱程度可反映身体状况,发现其相关危险因素则有助于干预衰弱,改善老年人预后及生活质量。研究发现肥胖与老年衰弱相关,而体质量指数(BMI)和腰围(WC)可用来评估肥胖程度,BMI代表人体肥胖程度,WC与代谢障碍关系密切。本文通过BMI和WC两个指标综述了肥胖和老年人衰弱的研究进展,旨在阐明三者关系,为临床干预衰弱提供新思路。

Abstract:

The degree of frailty in the elderly can reflect physical condition, Identification of risk factors can facilitate intervention in frailty and improve the prognosis and quality of life in the elderly. Studies have found that obesity is related to frailty and that body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) can be used to evaluate the degree of obesity. BMI serves as an indicator of the degree of obesity, and WC is closely related to metabolic disorders. This paper reviews the research progress on obesity and frailty using BMI and WC as indicators with a view to clarifying the relationship between them and providing new insights for clinical intervention in frailty.
