The aim: to determine the role of obesity as a predictor of decreased physical and functional activity, as well as cognitive impairment in persons over 75 years old.
Material and methods. 40 patients (19 males and 21 females) aged 80,2±3,8 years were included in the study. They were divided into two groups: 17 (42,5%) persons with BMI <30 (25,8±2,1 kg/m2) and 23 (57,5%) with obesity (BMI 33,2±2,9 kg/m2).The probability of FS was assessed using the «Age is not a barrier» questionnaire, Morse scale, cognitive status was assessed according to MINI-COG, MMSE criteria. All patients underwent muscle strength assessment: dynamometry values <16 daN in females and <27 daN in males were taken as a symptom of probable sarcopenia.
Results. Risk of FS developing according to the «Age is not a barrier» questionnaire and the Morse scale was 40 and 71,2% higher among individuals with obesity. According to MINI-COG, 3 patients (17,6%) scored <3 points (one of the signs of dementia) in the group with BMI <30 kg/m2, while in the obese group – 8 patients (34,8%). Among persons with BMI <30 kg/m2, manifestations of mild dementia according to MMSE were observed in 4 (23,6%), moderate – in 5 (29,4%) cases; in obese patients they were more common – in 9 (39,2%) and 7 (30,5%) cases, respectively. Low indexes of dynamometry in the group with BMI <30 kg/m2 were fixed in 8 persons (23,6±0,15 kg), in the obese group – in 19 persons(19,8±0,9 kg). Moreover, all patients with a high risk of falls according to the Morse scale (≥51 points) and dementia disorders according to the MMSE had a decrease in muscle strength. A positive correlation of BMI with Morse scale scores was revealed (r=0,49, p <0,05) both with inverse correlation between BMI and MMSE data (r=-0,56, p >0,05). There was an inverse correlation between dynamometry indexes and the age of patients (r=-0,53, p <0,05), as well as BMI (r=-0,42, p <0,05).
Conclusion. A significant decrease in the level of functional activity, muscle strength and cognitive status was found among elderly patients with obesity. This can be explained by the development of «sarcopenic obesity» in them, when excess body weight masks a lack of muscle mass, which is confirmed by dynamometry data.
