Abstract

World becomes more and more elderly; on the other hand, obesity is on the rise. The frequency of obesity is very high in geriatric individuals and it is associated with many diseases as well as leading to a decrease in quality of life and disability in the elderly. The aim of this study is to compare Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) of geriatric obese and non-obese patients. 39 normal weight and 41 obese patients who applied to Geriatric Clinic for various reasons were included in the study. Basic activities of daily Life (BADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), Tinetti balance and gait assessment, time up and go, mini mental state examination, mini nutritional assessment, Yesavage geriatric depression and Pittsburgh sleep quality indices tests were applied to the patients and also gait speed and hand grip strength of each patient was determined. Consequently, obese elderly patients were found to be deteriorated in some physical abilities and functions which are needed to maintain daily life such as gait and balance, muscle strength, certain daily life activities and mood and sleep quality compared to normal weight.

Abstract

Dünya gittikçe daha yaşlı hale geliyor ve obezite sıklığı artıyor. Geriatrik bireylerde obezite sıklığı yüksek olduğu gibi birçok hastalıkla ilişkilidir ve yaşam kalitesinde düşmeye ve malüllüğe sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, geriatrik obez ve obez olmayan hastaların Kapsamlı Geriatrik Değerlendirme Kriterleri İndekslerini karşılaştırmaktır. Çalışmaya 39 normal kilolu ve çeşitli nedenlerle Geriatri kliniğine başvuran 41 obez hasta dahil edildi. Kapsamlı Geriatrik Değerlendirme, Günlük Yaşamın Temel Aktiviteleri, Günlük Yaşam Enstrümantal Aktiviteleri, Tinetti Dengesi ve Yürüyüş Değerlendirmesi, Zamanlı kalkma ve yürüme, Mini Mental Değerlendirme, Mini Beslenme Değerlendirmesi, Yesevage Geriatrik Depresyon ve Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi Endeksi testleri uygulandı ve her hastanın yürüme hızı ve el kavrama gücü tespit edildi. Sonuç olarak, yaşlı obez hastaların yürüyüş ve denge, kas gücü, bazı günlük yaşam aktiviteleri ve ruh hali ve uyku kalitesi gibi günlük yaşamı sürdürmek için gerekli olan bazı fiziksel yetenek ve işlevlerde normal kiloya göre kötüleştiği görüldü.
