| dc.description | Skeletal muscle atrophy in the elderly represents a condition in which the person loses the functionality of one or more muscles, greatly affecting their quality of life. The main objective was to identify the risk factors associated with musculoskeletal atrophy in older adults between 65 and 80 years of age who attend the Babahoyo Gerontological Center. The methodology used was bibliographical in nature, with which reliable theoretical bases were compiled; descriptive, since the pathology was described, as well as the risk factors; deductive, due to the fact that it started from the effect to find the causes; and quantitative due to the representative population from which all the data of interest was collected. The results obtained showed a poor nutritional status, loss of muscle strength, insufficient physical activity, dependency, overweight, medium and low social level, non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure (HTN) and osteoarthritis, and states of depression. It is concluded that the main risk factors for the development of skeletal muscle atrophy are age, nutritional status, muscle diseases, neurological pathologies and immobilization. The ages of greatest presence were 65 to 70 years, the social level of the study population was medium and low, there was a greater presence of the male sex, the diseases that presented in common were HTN and osteoarthritis. Finally, it was evident that the level of physical activity of the study population ranged from low to zero. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La atrofia músculo esquelética en el adulto mayor representa una condición en la que la persona pierde la funcionalidad de uno o más músculos, afectando su calidad de vida enormemente. El objetivo principal fue identificar los factores de riesgo que se asocian a la atrofia musculo esquelética en adultos mayores de 65 a 80 años de edad que acuden al Centro Gerontológico de Babahoyo. La metodología utilizada fue de tipo bibliográfico con lo cual se recopiló bases teóricas fiables; descriptiva, ya que se describió la patología, así como también los factores de riesgos; deductiva, por el hecho de que se partió del efecto para encontrar las causas; y cuantitativa debido a la población representativa de donde se recopiló todos los datos de interés. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron un estado nutricional deficiente, pérdida de fuerza muscular, actividad física insuficiente, dependencia, sobrepeso, nivel social medio y bajo, enfermedades no transmisibles como la hipertensión arterial (HTA) y la artrosis y estados de depresión. Se concluye que los principales factores de riesgo del desarrollo de la atrofia musculo esquelética son la edad, estado nutricional, enfermedades del músculo, patologías neurológicas y la inmovilización. Las edades de mayor presencia fueron de 65 a 70 años, el nivel social de la población de estudio fue medio y bajo, hubo mayor presencia del sexo masculino, las enfermedades que presentaron en común fueron la HTA y la artrosis. Por último, se evidenció que el nivel de actividad física de la población de estudio se ubicó entre baja a nula. | es_ES |
