초록

Purpose: This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia and its associated factors in Koreans, who were 65 years of age or older. Methods: Data were from the Fifth Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The appendicular skeletal muscle mass was measured by a dual x-ray absorptiometry in 770 men and 1,000 women. We defined sarcopenia as appendicular skeletal muscle mass/weight*100(%) less than 2 standard deviations below the mean for gender specific young, healthy reference populations. Health and nutritional factors were compared in participants with and without sarcopenia. Results: The prevalence of sarcopeniawas 6.6% for men and 9.4% for women. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age, cancer, hypertension,and asthma were significantly associated with sarcopenia in men. However, in women, only one factor,current job, was significantly associated with sarcopenia. Conclusion: Sarcopenia was significantly associated with age, chronic disease, and current job in Korean elders. These results suggest that chronic disease and limited physical activity should be further investigated for their association with sarcopenia.
