PREVALENCE OF MALNUTRITION AND SARCOPENIA AMONG PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE IN OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT AT BINH THANH DISTRICT HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aims: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients receiving outpatient treatment at Binh Thanh District Hospital.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 168 COPD patients aged 60 years and older. The subjects were measured their weight, height, hand grip strength, and skeletal muscle mass index, gait speed over a distance of 4 meters. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2014 criteria in which the patient had at least 1 of 2 criteria for decreased muscle strength (reduced hand grip strength or decreased gait speed) combined with decreased muscle mass.
Results: The prevalence of malnutrition (BMI<18.5kg/m2 and sarcopenia was 23.8 and 35.7%, respectively. The prevalence was not significantly different between two genders.
Conclusion: The malnutrition and sarcopenia are common problems in COPD patients and require strategies for prevention in COPD outpatients.
