123 LEVELS OF PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN OLDER ATTENDEES AT A BONE HEALTH CLINIC

Abstract Background Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are two common conditions seen in community-dwelling older adults. Limited information on physical performance activity exists adults at risk of osteo-sarcopenia. The aim this study was to examine levels patients attending a bone health clinic. Methods A cross-sectional conducted. Community-dwelling clinic an acute Irish hospital were invited participate. Primary outcome measures for were: grip strength, the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Timed Up Go test (TUG) International Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Secondary outcomes included: Bone Mineral Density T-scores, diagnosis probable sarcopenia, osteo-sarcopenia, frailty, fractures falls history. Results 104 participants took part study. Median age 76 (IQR 12), ranging from 65 91 years. Females accounted majority (88.5%) recruited participants. present 63% osteopenia 31%. Low identified 29%. Probable ranged 17 37%. Osteo-sarcopenia 9 33% depending four possible definitions. most associations with osteo-sarcopenia frailty (CFS) low BMI. Using reduced multivariate regression analysis, (grip SPPB, TUG) (IPAQ) negatively associated increased age, comorbidities, falls. Increased all variables analysed. Comorbidities strength (p=0.005), SPPB (p=0.01), TUG (p=0.041). Frailty (p< .001), IPAQ .001). Fall(s) history .001) (p=0.028). Conclusion high proportion classified as having osteoporosis, Completing could provide useful clinicians about their potential risks/deficits.
