Abstract：Objective:To analyze the current status and influencing factors of sarcopenia in patients with bone tumors and to provide a reference for developing effective intervention programs.Methods:Using a convenience sampling method,198 patients with bone tumors admitted to the orthopedics department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Yunnan province between August 2023 and January 2024 were recruited.Clinical data were collected,and muscle strength(grip strength),physical activity capacity(walking speed),and muscle mass(appendicular skeletal muscle index)were measured.Patients were assessed using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment,Kinesiophobia Scale-Short Form,Fried Physical Phenotype Frailty Scale,and Athens Insomnia Scale.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify the influencing factors of sarcopenia in patients with bone tumors.Results:The incidence of sarcopenia among patients with bone tumors was 27.27%.Logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index(BMI),regular exercise,osteoporosis,kinesiophobia,and frailty were significant influencing factors of sarcopenia in patients with bone tumors(P<0.05).Conclusion:The prevalence of sarcopenia is high in patients with bone tumors.Healthcare professionals should promptly identify high-risk groups for sarcopenia and implement nutritional,exercise,and psychological interventions to improve patient outcomes.
