ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: frailty identifies a subgroup of people with higher risk of morbidity and mortality. AIMS: our first aim was to determine the prevalence of frailty in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus; our second aim was to establish which factors are associated with frailty in these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: cross-sectional study in non-institutionalized people (288 patients), over 65 years of age, and diagnosed with diabetes mellitus type 2. Frailty was defined according to Freid's criteria. The following variables were assessed: blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, Lawton and Brody index, balance through unipodal support, and nutritional status by using the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire. RESULTS: the prevalence of frailty syndrome was 14.6%. The frailty group showed lower systolic blood pressure (p < 0.001), higher triglycerides levels (p = 0.007), and lower Lawton and Brody values (p < 0.001) than the non-frailty one; moreover, lower monopodal balance was observed with higher frailty levels (r = -0.306, p < 0.001). None frailty-subject was able to perform five seconds or more in balance (r = -0.343, p < 0.001). Moreover, higher frailty was related with poorer Mini Nutritional Assessment results (p = 0.013). CONCLUSION: the prevalence of frailty syndrome in patients with diabetes was higher compared with those in general population over 65 years of age. Frailty was related to lower systolic blood pressure, higher triglycerides concentrations, poorer nutritional status, and lower independency to perform instrumental activities of daily living and poorer balance.


Introducción: la fragilidad identifica a un subgrupo de personas con mayor riesgo de morbimortalidad.Objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de fragilidad y qué factores se asocian a esta en los pacientes adultos mayores con diabetes mellitus tipo 2.Material y métodos: estudio transversal en población residente no institucionalizada (288 pacientes), mayores de 65 años, diagnosticados de diabetes mellitus tipo 2. La fragilidad se define mediante los criterios de Freid. Se valoraron tensión arterial, hemoglobina glicosilada, colesterol total, HDL y LDL, triglicéridos, índice de Lawton y Brody, equilibrio mediante el apoyo unipodal y estado nutricional mediante el Mini Nutritional Assessment.Resultados: la prevalencia encontrada del síndrome de fragilidad fue del 14,6%. El grupo frágil tuvo niveles de tensión arterial sistólica más bajos (p < 0,001), los triglicéridos estaban más elevados (p = 0,007) y obtuvieron valores inferiores en Lawton y Brody (p < 0,001) respecto al grupo no frágil; además, el test de equilibrio monopodal ofreció tiempos menores con la fragilidad (r = -0,306, p < 0,001). Ninguno de los sujetos frágiles aguantó en equilibrio cinco segundos o más (r = -0,343, p < 0,001). Los valores del Mini Nutritional Assessment empeoraron con la fragilidad (p = 0,013).Conclusión: la prevalencia del síndrome de fragilidad en pacientes diabéticos fue mayor a la encontrada en población general mayor de 65 años. La fragilidad se asocia a una disminución de la tensión arterial sistólica, cifras de triglicéridos mayores, peor estado nutricional y disminución de la independencia para la realización de las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria y peor equilibrio.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The term sarcopenia is defined as age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, with a consequent impact on quality of life. However, there is a lack of studies examining the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). OBJECTIVES: To analyze the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients over 65 years with type 2 DM and the influence of physical activity, diet, glycemic control, sex, age, and quality of life. METHODS: A total of 279 patients (155 females), aged 76.6 ± 6.27 years, participated in this study in order to analyze body circumferences (waist, hip, calf, and arm), body mass index, handgrip strength, physical activity level, nutritional status, quality of life, and glycemic control. The cut-off value for sarcopenia was defined as the body mass index lower than 9.2 or 7.4 kg/m2 for males and females, respectively. RESULTS: In participants, the prevalence of sarcopenia was 8.33%. Moreover, the level of sarcopenia was negatively associated with quality of life (r = -0.130, p = 0.030), physical activity (r = -0.164, p = 0.006), nutritional status (r = -0.274, p < 0.001), and male sex (r = -0.137, p = 0.022); and positively associated with age (r = 0.183, p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with type 2 DM is moderate, and it is related to relevant health factors, such as lower quality of life, lower physical exercise level, and increased malnutrition, especially in older adult males.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la sarcopenia se define como la pérdida de masa muscular y su deterioro funcional asociado a la edad, por lo que tiene un alto impacto sobre la calidad de vida. Sin embargo, la prevalencia de la sarcopenia en diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) no está suficientemente estudiada. Objetivos: analizar la prevalencia de sarcopenia en mayores de 65 años con DM2 y la posible influencia de la actividad física, la alimentación, el control glucémico, el sexo, la edad y la calidad de vida. Métodos: participaron 279 pacientes (155 mujeres) de 76,6 ± 6,27 años de edad. Se determinó el perímetro de cintura, cadera, pantorrilla y brazo, el índice de masa corporal, la fuerza de prensión manual, el nivel de actividad física, el estado nutricional, la calidad de vida y el control glucémico. La sarcopenia se definió como un índice de masa muscular esquelética menor de 9,2 kg/m2 en varones y menor de 7,4 kg/m2 en mujeres. Resultados: la prevalencia de sarcopenia en los participantes fue de un 8,33%. Hubo asociación negativa entre el nivel de sarcopenia y la calidad de vida (r = -0,130, p = 0,030), actividad física (r = -0,164, p = 0,006), estado nutricional (r = -0,274, p < 0,001), y sexo masculino (r = -0,137, p = 0,022); y positiva para edad (r = 0,183, p = 0,002). Conclusiones: la prevalencia de la sarcopenia en DM2 es moderada. Se relaciona con importantes factores para la salud, como una menor calidad de vida, menor realización de ejercicio físico y mayor presencia de desnutrición, lo cual parece agravarse en adultos varones de edad avanzada (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Conocer el nivel de pensamientos disfuncionales en los cuidadores y la relación que tienen con la sobrecarga en el desempeño del rol de cuidador. Método. Estudio descriptivo transversal, realizado en el Centro de Salud San Andrés Torcal, de la ciudad de Málaga durante 2010. Sujetos de estudio Muestra aleatoria de los cuidadores de personas dependientes de dicho centro. Se excluyeron los cuidadores de personas en proceso de cuidados paliativos, y aquellos casos en que los cuidados tenían una duración menor de 6 semanas. Se utilizaron el cuestionario de pensamientos disfuncionales (CPD) sobre los cuidados y el cuestionario de carga de Zarit. En los cuidadores se recogieron las variables sociodemográficas así como las variables en relación con los cuidados (presencia o no de ayuda para realizar los cuidados, duración de los cuidados, en su caso el tipo de ayuda que recibe para los mismos). En las personas dependientes se recogieron variables sociodemográficas, índice de Barthel y presencia o no del diagnóstico de demencia. Análisis utilizado: análisis descriptivo, coeficiente de correlación de Pearson para valorar la asociación entre variables cuantitativas, y test de Kolmogorov-Smirnov para analizar el ajuste a una distribución uniforme. Resultados. La puntuación en el CPD tiene una media de 49,94 (IC 95% 42,0-49,8). La sobrecarga medida mediante el cuestionario de Zarit y los pensamientos disfuncionales se asocian positivamente (coeficiente de correlación de Pearson 0,57; p <0,001). Conclusiones. Los pensamientos disfuncionales tienen un elevado impacto sobre nuestra población de cuidadores pudiendo ser un factor que contribuye a la aparición de cansancio en el desempeño del rol de cuidador. Existe una asociación positiva entre la sobrecarga de los cuidadores y los pensamientos más disfuncionales, más intensa en cuidadores de pacientes sin demencia (AU)


Objective. To determine the influence of dysfunctional thoughts and their relationship on the burden of caregivers. Method. Descriptive study conducted in the San Andrés Torcal Health Centre, Malaga, Spain, in 2010. Subjects. A random sample was selected from dependent person caregivers of the centre. Those patients who were receiving palliative care and those cases where the care was less than 6 weeks were excluded. We used the Dysfunctional Thoughts Questionnaire (DTQ) and the short Zarit questionnaire was used on the caregivers. Sociodemographic variables of the caregiver and variables related to care (presence of support, duration of care, and if applicable, the type of help received by them), were collected. Sociodemographic variables of the patients, as well as the Barthel index and presence or absence of dementia were recorded. Analysis used descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient to assess the association between quantitative variables and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Results. The mean DTQ score was 49.94 (95% CI; 42.0 - 49.8). The burden measured by Zarit test and dysfunctional thoughts were positively associated (Pearson correlation coefficient 0.57, P<.001). Conclusions. Dysfunctional thoughts have a high impact on our population of caregivers and may be a contributing factor to the onset of fatigue in the caregiver role. There is a positive association between stress of caregivers and dysfunctional thoughts, and is more intensive in caregivers of patients without dementia (AU)
