Brief Summary
|
This cross-sectional study compares and evaluates sarcopenia, mental health, and social support in working and non-working older persons. Following informed consent, eligible participants from both groups will be assessed using standardised methods. Sarcopenia will be evaluated by assessing hand grip strength with a hand dynamometer to identify muscular strength, calf circumference with an inch tape to estimate muscle mass, and the SARC-F questionnaire to screen for sarcopenia. Mental health will be assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) for depressive symptoms and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive function. Social support will be assessed using the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS).The study’s findings will include a comparison of sarcopenia levels, mental health status, and perceived social support among working and nonworking older persons.
