    Relationship between sarcopenia and risks of falls in older adults at Clínica Pablo Bermúdez Es-Salud 2023
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-12-04) Mercado Curi, Gabriela Albina; Rodriguez Garcia, Rosa Vicenta
    This work is a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study that will be conducted with 80 older adults enrolled at the Pablo Bermudez clinic, EsSalud. Participants will be asked to complete a personal data sheet and informed consent. Sarcopenia will be evaluated by measuring muscle mass using a tape measure to measure calf circumference, hand strength using a dynamometer, physical performance using the SPPB test with a chair, a stopwatch, and more than 4 meters of space, and the Tinetti test will be used to evaluate fall risk with a chair and space. The goal of this research project is to understand the relationship between sarcopenia and fall risk.
