Brief Summary: The objectives of this study are to describe the prevalence of respiratory sarcopenia evaluate its pattern of evolution over a one-year follow-up and determine the response to a therapeutic exercise program in older adults in a geriatric nursing clinic
A sample of approximately 115 older adults of both sexes from the geriatric nursing clinic of the Virgen de la Arrixaca Hospital Murcia will participate in the study In the first stage a prospective observational study will be carried out with one year of follow-up and subsequently a randomized controlled clinical trial with patients who have been diagnosed with respiratory sarcopenia In the clinical trial patients will be divided into 3 groups control experimental 1 diaphragmatic exercises and experimental 2 respiratory muscle training Sociodemographic and clinical variables physical function palm grip 5STS 4MGS respiratory function respiratory muscle strength and diaphragmatic thickness and health outcomes respiratory infections visit to the emergency department hospitalization falls bedridden andor death Descriptive statistics univariate and multivariate logistic regression models Cox proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier curves will be used to analyze the data from the longitudinal study To compare the differences between pre- and post-intervention of the clinical trial a two-factor analysis of variance for repeated measures will be used A P-value 005 will be considered significant in all analyses The recording and analysis of the data will be carried out with the IBM SPSS Statistics 24 program
