| Summary: | Sarcopenia may influence an elderly’s cognitive ability, quality of sleep and psychosocial condition due to aging. The aim of this study was to explore the association between cognitive function, sleep quality and psychosocial status among older adults with sarcopenia and possible sarcopenia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 92 older adults with possible sarcopenia and sarcopenia using convenience sampling technique in Kelantan aged 60 years old and above. Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI), hand grip strength (HGS) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) was used to determine sarcopenia status. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) was used to assess cognitive impairment through a quick cognitive screening process. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was an internally consistent and valid measure of self-reported sleep quality that made up of the global score of the 21-item PSQI. Flourishing Scale (FS) was created to assess wellness in the areas of optimism, relationships, self-esteem, and life purpose. Sociodemographic data, medical history, anthropometric measurement and body composition were also included during interview. The mean and standard deviation of age was 69.05 ± 6.35. 51 subjects (55.4%) were male and 41 subjects (44.6%) were female. There is statistically significant association between cognitive function and gender. However, it was found that there is no statistically significant association between sleep quality and gender as well as there is no significant difference of the median psychosocial status score between men and women. Out of 92 subjects, it was discovered that 80 subjects (87%) have poor cognitive function and 18 subjects (19.6%) have poor sleep quality. Next, it was found that there is no statistically significant association between sleep quality and cognitive function, whereas there are significant different of flourishing scale score between normal cognitive function and mild cognitive impairment as well as between normal cognitive function and dementia. Nonetheless, further studies should be carried out to provide clear understanding on mechanism of cognitive function, sleep quality and psychosocial status in sarcopenia to prevent or delayed the incidence of this condition. |
