Abstract
Background and aim

To evaluate the association between sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome.

Patients and methods

A case–control study. Setting. Geriatric Care Clinic of Metepec (México). Inclusion criteria. Outpatients with physical and mental independence to perform daily living activities (DLA). Exclusion criteria. Physical or mental disability requiring assistance from a carer, active cancer, cardiopathies and renal disease.

Patients

124 participants (59.6% women) aged over 60 years (mean age 69.7 years, standard deviation±6.5 years). Measurements. 62 with sarcopenia according to the EGWSOP 2019 definition. Hypertension, diabetes, adiposity and dyslipidaemia were assessed, and the prevalence and odds ratio (OR) of metabolic syndrome in cases and controls were calculated.

Results

Participants with sarcopenia were more likely to be female (80% vs. 41.8%), with no major differences from controls in other characteristics. 46.7% of participants were obese and 25.8% in both groups met diagnostic criteria for the metabolic syndrome; of the items defining the metabolic syndrome, only hypertension, obesity grade II and central obesity were associated with the presence of sarcopenia (OR 2.12; 3.39 and 1.93, respectively, with 95% CI).

Conclusions

We could not confirm an association between sarcopenia and the metabolic syndrome, but with the obesity and hypertension components.

Resumen
Antecedentes y objetivo

Evaluar la asociación entre sarcopenia y síndrome metabólico. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio de casos y controles realizado en la Clínica de Atención Geriátrica, de Metepec (México). Criterios de inclusión. Adultos mayores ambulatorios y comunitarios con independencia física y mental para realizar actividades de la vida diaria AVD. Criterios de Exclusión. Discapacidad física o mental que requiera asistencia de un cuidador, cáncer activo, cardiopatías y enfermedad renal.

Pacientes

124 participantes (59.6% mujeres) mayores de 60 años (media de edad 69,7, desviación estándar +/- 6,5).

Mediciones

62 de ellos con sarcopenia según la definición EGWSOP 2019. Se evaluaron hipertensión, diabetes, adiposidad y dislipidemia, y se calculó la prevalencia y la Odds Ratio (OR) de síndrome metabólico en los casos y los controles.

Resultados

Los participantes con sarcopenia fueron más frecuentemente mujeres (80% vs 41,8%), sin diferencias importantes con los controles en otras características. El 46,7% de los participantes presentaron obesidad y el 25,8% tenían criterios diagnósticos de síndrome metabólico en cada grupo; de los ítems que definen el síndrome metabólico, sólo la hipertensión, la obesidad grado II y la obesidad central se asociaron con la presencia de sarcopenia (OR 2,12; 3,39 y 1,93 respectivamente, con IC 95%).

Conclusiones

No pudimos confirmar una asociación entre la sarcopenia y el síndrome metabólico, pero sí con dos de sus componentes, obesidad e hipertensión.
