May 16, 2020 updated by: Esma Nur KOLBAŞI, Istanbul Medeniyet University

Prevalence of Osteosarcopenic Obesity in Older Community-dwelling Adults in Turkey

Osteosarcopenic Obesity (OSO) is a syndrome characterized by the loss of bone and muscle in addition to increase in the fat tissue as a result of aging process. It is the latest point of impairment in the bone,muscle and adipose tissue in older adults. OSO, as the name suggests, is the combination of three syndrome frequently encountered in the elderly: osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia and obesity. The aims of study are to determine the prevalence of OSO syndrome in community-dwelling adults of Turkey and determine the possible factors regarding risk of falling in this population

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
T score
Time Frame: 1 hour
T scores of spine and femur neck examined with Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry. A T score<-2,5 will be classified as osteoporosis while a T score between -1 and -2,5 will be counted as osteopenia
1 hour
Muscle Strength
Time Frame: 5 minutes
Measured by hand held dynamometer. The cut-off scores for man and woman are 27 kg and 16 kg, respectively
5 minutes
Muscle Mass
Time Frame: 2 minutes
Measured by bioimpedance analysis using Tanita TBF300. The cut-off scores for man and woman are 9,2 kg/m2 and 7,4 kg/m2, respectively
2 minutes
Muscle Performance
Time Frame: 3 minutes
Tested by 4 meter walk test. If the gait speed is lower than 0,8 m/s, the test is positive.
3 minutes
Obesity
Time Frame: 2 minutes
The fat percentage and the Body Mass Index measured by bioimpedance analysis using Tanita TBF300 is recorded. For BMI, 30 kg/m2 and over is classified as obesity whereas fat percentage of %35 and %28 (woman and man, respectively) and over was classified as obese.
