| Research Abstract |
We investigated the association between physiology, physical function, and body composition phenotypes (normal, sarcopenic, obese, and sarcopenic obesity [SO]) in frail elderly individuals. The hand grip strength and knee extension strength were significantly lower in the SO group than in the normal group. The SO group had significantly higher p2-microglobulin levels than the normal group, but not higher than the sarcopenic and obese groups. Moreover, the SO group spent significantly more time in sedentary behavior and less time in light physical activity than the normal group. In this study, SO was found to be more closely associated with decline in physical function and decrease in physical activity than sarcopenia or obesity alone in frail elderly individuals.
