Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study includes the (1) investigation of daily physical activity in patients with chronic liver disease using a wearable monitor, (2) verification of the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia using computed tomography images, and (3) questionnaire survey on sarcopenia care in the field of liver disease. In (1), the amount of daily physical activity in patients aged ≦ 65 years with chronic liver disease was clarified and revealed that walking and living activities are characterized by sex. The result in (2) suggested that the standard value may increase in men and decrease in women when compared to the existing standard. In (3), the study clarified that approximately 40% of facilities performed evaluation and treatment for sarcopenia in the field of liver disease.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、身体活動量を歩行活動と生活活動にわけて注目し、性別による活動の特徴を示し、患者の生活を理解する上で1つの視点を提供した。そして基準値の検証により男性の過大評価、女性の過小評価の可能性を示し、さらなる検証の必要性を提起した。さらにサルコペニア対策を広く普及させるために、実態調査を行い基礎的資料を報告した。慢性肝疾患患者は、加齢に加えサルコペニアを合併しやすい状態にあるため、身体活動や栄養管理によるサルコペニアの予防や治療が求められる。一方で、看護におけるサルコペニアケアは十分に普及してない。本研究の成果は看護場面におけるサルコペニアへのケアを普及させる上で有効な資料となりうる。
