Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To examine the sarcopenia and physical fitness levels of geriatric individuals living in nursing homes and at home. Considering these aims, our working hypotheses are;

H1: There is a difference in sarcopenia level between geriatric individuals living in a nursing home and at home.

H2: There is a difference in dynapenia levels between geriatric individuals living in a nursing home and at home.

H3: There is a difference in physical fitness between geriatric individuals living in a nursing home and at home.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Geriatric individuals living in the Nursing Home and at home will be included in the research. Within the scope of the study, anterior thigh thickness of geriatric individuals will be evaluated by ultrasonography and the presence of sarcopenia will be determined according to the Sonographic T-high Adjustment Rate (STAR) method, and the presence of dynapenia will be determined according to hand grip strength in individuals without sarcopenia. Additionally, the physical fitness of geriatric individuals in both groups will be evaluated with the Senior Fitness test. The study will be carried out with 100 geriatric individuals. As a result of the study, individuals in the groups will be compared in terms of the presence of sarcopenia and dynapenia and physical fitness.
