| dc.description | Aging involves cellular and molecular damage that affects functional and psychological capacities, representing a global challenge for public health systems due to the increase in age-related morbidity and mortality. It is expected that by 2030, one in six people in the world will be 65 years of age or older. During old age, geriatric syndromes arise, with sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass and strength) being one of the most critical conditions, affecting quality of life, functionality and increasing the risk of dependence and health complications. General Objective: To determine the relationship between nutritional status and sarcopenia in older adults. Methodology: The present research work was carried out under the following basic and non-experimental criteria. Rationale: Sarcopenia affects quality of life and is a growing public health problem, especially in vulnerable populations. Background: Sarcopenia, a condition characterized by loss of muscle mass, is prevalent in older adults in Latin America. In Ecuador, it was found that 23% of older adults suffered from sarcopenia, with correlates of low weight and poor nutrition. In Mexico, studies indicated that severe sarcopenia affects a considerable percentage of the population, especially among those who are overweight. These results underscore the importance of nutrition and physical activity interventions to prevent and treat sarcopenia in older adults. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El envejecimiento implica daños celulares y moleculares que afectan las capacidades funcionales y psicológicas, representando un desafío global para los sistemas de salud pública debido al aumento de la morbilidad y mortalidad relacionadas con la edad. Se espera que para 2030, una de cada seis personas en el mundo tendrá 65 años o más. Durante la vejez, surgen síndromes geriátricos, siendo la sarcopenia (pérdida de masa y fuerza muscular) una de las condiciones más críticas, afectando la calidad de vida, funcionalidad y aumentando el riesgo de dependencia y complicaciones de salud. Objetivo General: Determinar la relación entre el estado nutricional y la sarcopenia en adultos mayores. Metodología: El presente trabajo investigativo se llevó a cabo bajo los siguientes criterios, básico y no experimental. Justificación: La sarcopenia afecta la calidad de vida y es un problema de salud pública creciente, especialmente en poblaciones vulnerables. Antecedentes: La sarcopenia, una condición caracterizada por la pérdida de masa muscular, es prevalente en los adultos mayores de América Latina. En Ecuador, se encontró que el 23% de los adultos mayores sufrían de sarcopenia, con correlatos de bajo peso y mala nutrición. En México, estudios indicaron que la sarcopenia severa afecta a un porcentaje considerable de la población, especialmente entre aquellos con sobrepeso. Estos resultados subrayan la importancia de intervenciones en nutrición y actividad física para prevenir y tratar la sarcopenia en los adultos mayores. | es_ES |
