The effect of sarcopenic obesity and age-related ophthalmopathology on the state of basic functional activity

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Along with an increase in the number of elderly and senile populations, there will simultaneously be an increase in the prevalence of age-associated ophthalmopathology and sarcopenic obesity, which can potentially contribute to a decrease in patients’ activities in everyday life, but the latter remains practically unexplored, and if analyzed, then without the use of special scales for patients with visual organ pathology or quality of life indicators.

AIM: To study the effect of sarcopenic obesity and age–associated ophthalmopathology on the activities of patients in everyday life.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: 125 mature and elderly patients suffering from sarcopenic obesity combined with cataract and 138 patients of similar age with sarcopenic obesity combined with glaucoma were examined. Sarcopenic obesity was detected by the presence of obesity with a body mass index ≥30,0 kg/m2 and sarcopenia on the scale of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in older people, supplemented by carpal dynamometry.

RESULTS: It was found that, in comparison sarcopenic obesity with age-related cataracts, it has a more significant effect on changing activities in daily life, contributing to the formation of complete dependence on outside help (12,18 points) compared with sarcopenic obesity and glaucoma (10,18 points) (p <0,001), when moderate dependence on others was found. However, regardless of the nosology of the ophthalmic disease, in both clinical groups, the leading limitations of activities in daily life were needle threading (1,84±0,03 vs 1,52±0,02 points), nail clipping (1,75±0,03 vs 1,43±0,04 points), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS: The results obtained can be used in gerontology in the implementation of measures to correct and maintain functionality in the daily life of patients with sarcopenic obesity combined with glaucoma and cataracts.
