ABSTRACT
Aim: The fall in the osteoporotic elderly causes fractures. Especially with age, there is a decrease in muscle mass and muscle strength. With aging, lean body mass decreases, and sarcopenic obesity develops. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the anthropometric measurements of patients over 65 years old with osteoporosis.
Materials and Methods: 30 female patients diagnosed with osteoporosis with DXA over 65 years old, and 30 patients without osteoporosis over 65 years old were included in the study. Mid-upper-arm circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference and calf circumference were measured by tape measure in accordance with anthropometric measurement standards.
Results: The mean ages were 69,13 ± 4,03 and 68,11 ± 4,28 years, respectively. There was no significant difference between the height, weight, BMI, mid-upper-arm circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist / hip circumference ratio between the groups. Calf circumference was significantly lower in patients with osteoporosis compared to patients without osteoporosis.
Conclusion: Low calf circumference in patients with osteoporosis may be associated with sarcopenia, falling and disability
