Abstract:Abstract: Objective To explore the relationships of locomotive syndrome (LS) with body composition and bone strength of the elderly in community. Methods Totally 200 people aged 60 years and above were selected from Taihe District, Guta District and Linghe District in Jinzhou using convenient sampling method. The questionnaire survey was conducted, and height, bone strength and body composition were measured. Results Among the elderly, 26 participants (13.5%) were diagnosed as LS; GLFS scores were statistically significant in terms of gender difference (t =2.599, P < 0.05); height, body fat percentage, bone strength and BMI were all correlated with GLFS scores (P < 0.05). The differences in height, body fat percentage, BMI and bone strength were statistically significant between the LS group and the non-LS group (P < 0.05). There were significant differences in GLFS scores between the participants with hypertension and diabetes and those without (P < 0.05). Conclusions Patients with LS have lower height and bone strength, higher body fat percentage and BMI. Hypertension and diabetes are closely correlated with GLFS scores. Control of body fat percentage and BMI, calcium supplement, control and prevention of hypertension and diabetes can reduce the occurrence of locomotive syndrome.
