Measurement of sarcopenia in lung cancer inpatients and its association with frailty, nutritional risk, and malnutrition.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sarcopenia, frailty, and malnutrition are associated with undesirable clinical outcomes in cancer patients. Sarcopenia-related measurements may be promising fast biomarkers for frailty. Our objectives were to assess the prevalence of nutritional risk, malnutrition, frailty, and sarcopenia in lung cancer inpatients, and describe the relationship of them.

Methods

Stage III and IV lung cancer inpatients were recruited before chemotherapy. The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was assessed by multi-frequency bioelectric impedance analysis (m-BIA). Sarcopenia, frailty, nutritional risk, and malnutrition were diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 (AWGS 2019), Fried Frailty Phenotype (FFP), nutritional risk screening-2002 (NRS-2002), and Global Lea
