Abstract

As the population of elderly increases, the number of andropause also increases. Andropause is characterized by the decrease of testosteron level which is accompanied by hypogonadism symptoms. Many studies mentioned that decreased testosterone level will contribute to inflammation state, one of the cytokine is TNF-α, which then lead to many chronic inflammation disorders and influence the quality of life. Understanding the significant correlation between androgen and inflammation allows accurate consideration making in using androgen replacement therapy, therefore the quality of life will be improved significantly.This research was an analytical cross-sectional study. Subjects were recruited through random sampling at Denpasar in 2019. TNF-α serum level was measured by human immunoassay method. Andropause was measured by ADAM questionnaire and confirmed by total decreased testosterone serum level. Quality of life was measured by WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire which was then continued by bivariate and multivariate analysis to control the confounding variables. It was considered statistically significant if P value is more than 0.05. There were 60 elderly involved as research subjects consisting of 43 andropause cases and 17 non andropause cases. There was significant correlation between TNF-α serum and quality of life. This study also found that there was significant difference in quality of life between andropause and non andropause group. This study shows that there was significant correlation between TNF-α serum level and andropause with quality of life in elderly.

Abstract

Introduction. Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in muscle mass accompanied by a decrease in strength and/or function. Sarcopenia is closely related to the aging process, but the mechanism of its occurrence is still not fully understood. Skeletal muscle is the largest organ in the human body, so the myokine produced through muscle contraction opens a new paradigm regarding the central role of muscles in regulating metabolism and other organ functions. One of the myokines that are currently found to affect physical activity is Irisin. This study aims to determine the role of low Irisin levels in serum as a risk factor for sarcopenia in the elderly. Methods. This case-control study was conducted in Denpasar City from January 2020 to October 2020. The sample was selected using purposive consecutive sampling with matching age and gender, with 54 subjects, 27 case groups, and 27 control groups aged ≥60 years. Sarcopenia status is enforced by the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Irisin serum levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results. Based on 54 subjects, the mean age in cases was 69.79 (SD 5.00) years and controls 67.89 (SD 4.50) years (p = 0.152), the proportion of male:female both in cases and controls group was 9:18. The cut-off point value wass based on the irisin ROC curve 4.51 ng/L. Nutritional status (OR = 3.40 (95% CI = 1.11 - 10.40); p = 0.029) and irisin (OR = 25.30 (95% CI = 6,00 - 106.66); p = <0.001) had an effect on sarcopenia. Factors that purely influence sarcopenia were found in low irisin (OR = 103.41 (95% CI = 7.83 – 1,364.99; p = <0.001). Conclusions. Low Irisin level is a risk factor for sarcopenia in the elderly. Irisin could be considered for further investigation in an effort to become a target for both preventive and curative therapy for sarcopenia.
