SARKOPENIA’S SCREENING: RESULTS OF PILOT RESEARCH
Age and clinical indications for screening initiation of a sarkopenia are provided in article. Also, in article algorithms of sarkopenia screening are developed. So, when screening volume of muscle mass it is necessary to determine such parameters as shin circle size, size of muscular force and speed of movement. Approximate sizes of the received indicators at determination size of muscular force with use of a hand dynamometer are given. It is necessary to apply the test with 6-minute walking to determination of speed of movement. Approximate indicators size speed of movement when carrying out screening of a sarkopeniya in policlinic are received. Also, as a result of research the scheme of original algorithm of sarkopenia screening in primary health care which will allow to diagnose in due time age changes of the muscular tissue is developed and to begin a complex of medical and rehabilitation actions.
