ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of the strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falls (SARC-F) questionnaire by telephone to identify sarcopenia risk (SR; SARC-F ≥6) and low muscle function risk (LMFR; SARC-F ≥ 4) and their associated risk factors in a cohort of community-dwelling older adults in southern Brazil.METHODS:
A longitudinal study was carried out with community-dwelling older individuals from COMO VAI? STUDY Sociodemographic, behavioral, and health-related information were collected at baseline, and, in the second assessment, the SARC-F questionnaire was applied by phone or in-person interviews. Older adults identified with sarcopenia at the baseline assessment were excluded. Adjusted analysis by Poisson regression according to hierarchical levels was performed.RESULTS:
Of the 1451 participants interviewed at baseline, only 951 participated in the second assessment. During the second assessment, 732 adults (77%) were interviewed by phone and 219 (23%) in person. There was no statistically significant difference for the SR (9.1 versus 9.7%, P = 0.802) and LMFR (22.4 versus 20.0%, P = 0.435) prevalence when the SARC-F questionnaire was administered in person or by phone, respectively. Age ≥80 y, presence of depressive symptoms, multimorbidity, dependence to perform one or more daily activities, and polypharmacy were factors associated with a higher risk for poor outcomes in older adults interviewed by phone.CONCLUSIONS:
The similar prevalence between in-person and remote assessments suggests the feasibility of using the SARC-F questionnaire by phone interview as a reliable alternative for sarcopenia and low muscle function risk assessment without the requirement of face-to-face evaluations.Palabras clave
