Abstract (EN)

Osteoporosis is a metabolic skeletal disorder characterized by low bone mass and structural malformation of bone tissue, characterized by the formation and tendency of bone fractures and is common in the elderly population. Osteoporosis and osteopenia have long been recognized as one of the most common diseases for the elderly population. The frequency of seeing human life together with the extension is increasing and affects one's quality of life negatively. Unbalance and fall-related fractures are the most important and frightening problems of the elderly population. The decrease in the density of bone density is an important health problem for the health professionals. Therefore, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between bone mineral density and sarcopenia, regular physical activity habits, fall frequency, balance and quality of life in the elderly people living above 65 years in our study. Between September 2014 and September 2015, 56 people living in two nursing homes located in the center of Manisa participated in the study. In the questionnaire, the socio-demographic characteristics of the persons, the international (international level) researchers used to diagnose the metabolic syndrome (height, weight, total cholesterol and fat (Arzum AR-553), fasting and satiety blood glucose, insulin resistance, belly and waist circumference measurements) Physical activity questionnaire (long) and SF 36 quality of life questionnaire were used. In addition, data on bone mineral density from file records were recorded in the evaluation form following DEXA results. Hand grip strength was measured using handgrip and the sarcopenia was recorded as the end result. In the last 1 year, the number of stumbling and falling have been questioned and the balance has been evaluated by functional stretching test. Osteopenia was detected in 24 patients (42.9%) and osteoporosis in 10 (17.9%) patients. When the T score was taken into consideration, a statistically significant effect of the physical functions of the 6-year-old was found, while the physical role strength was significantly found in the 7-year-old. When the mental correlation was evaluated, it was statistically evaluated that the mental health of the same age was affected and the social functions decreased. When the aggression status was examined 32 (57.1%) were seen in the elderly and it was found that they were frequently between 5-10 days. Similarly, 29 (51.8%) declines in these ages were observed. It was evaluated that the fall had a negative effect on the physical and mental role strength, and that it affected the fear of falling. In our study, we assessed the sarcopenic evaluation with handgrip measurements. We did not find any significant statistical value supporting sarcoplasty in the elderly. The distribution of activity days was 2.9 + 2.3 (0-7 day) and mean 16.4 + 14.2 (0-60 min.) Was observed in 48 age group (85.8%) participating in the study. ). The walking average of physical activity people was found to be MET 211 + 287.2 (0-1386), total physical activity MET 230,6 + 289.82 (0-1386). When total osteoporosis was compared with osteoporosis, it was found that there was no relationship between them (Pearson Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney U, p≥0.5). When Total MET levels were compared with the total number of days of activity, the relation between them was meaningless (Mann-Whitney U, p≥0.5). (Mann-Whitney U, p ≥ 0.5), but a significant relationship was found between the development of hypertension (Mann-Whitney U, p ≤ 0.5) and the relation between muscle texture, fat tissue and bone texture in the BMI. The level of physical activity in elderly individuals with osteoporosis or osteopenia was assessed, the presence of sarcopenia in the same subjects, muscle strength reduction and how these criteria affected physical activity. Osteoporosis has been associated with physical activity in both age and weight restriction due to the fear of falling and falling in the elderly diagnosed with osteoporosis. It is possible for osteoporosis in the elderly living in the nursing home environment that the physical activities to be performed may raise the living standards, improve the existing health problems more rapidly and increase the self-sufficiency.
