Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The primary aim of this study was to quantify the diagnosis of pre-surgical skeletal muscle mass in elderly gastric cancer patients and to analyse its correlation with frailty. The second aim was to investigate whether skeletal muscle mass, or sarcopenia, is associated with mobility and nutritional status, and anxiety and depression. The main questions it aims to answer are whether skeletal muscle mass is significantly associated with frailty and whether it can be used as a brief screening tool for preoperative frailty.

- Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) and was classified as sarcopenia if it was less than 7.0 kg/m2 in men and 5.7 kg/m2 in women.

- description
- The Tilburg frailty scale was used to assess the frailty of older people with gastric cancer. The Tilburg frailty scale was compiled by Gobbens et al. The scale contains 15 items in three dimensions of physical, psychological and social frailty. The total score of the scale is 0-15 points and the cut-off value of the total scale was 5, with higher score indicating more severe frailty.
