Description

<p>[Purpose] Nutritional status and sarcopenia were surveyed to verify relationships between these items and activities of daily living (ADL) among patients who were admitted to a psychiatric ward and prescribed physiotherapy. [Participants and Methods] The muscle mass of 43 patients was estimated using the formula developed by Sanada et al., and sarcopenia was judged using the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria. Nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Patients with a decreased/maintained or improved Barthel Index (BI) were compared before and after physiotherapy. [Results] Among the patients, 77% and 42% had malnutrition and sarcopenia, respectively. Albumin and MNA-SF significantly differed between patients with a decreased/maintained BI and an improved BI. [Conclusion] Rates of malnutrition were high among the patients admitted to a psychiatric ward, and nutritional status appeared to be associated with BI improvement during physical therapy intervention.</p>
