Zusammenfassung:Aims and objectives To measure the effect of chair resistance training (RT) on the quality of life (QoL) of older long‐term care residents with sarcopenic obesity (SO). Background Sarcopenia combined with obesity, commonly called SO, is considered to be related to health‐related QoL. Despite concerns regarding SO‐related long‐term healthcare issues, intervention studies on SO residents in nursing homes are scant in Taiwan. Design This research was a quasi‐experiment conducted according to the TREND Checklist. A total of 123 older persons were enrolled from six nursing facilities. The RT was implemented between October 2015–March 2016. Method The intervention group received progressive RT with sandbags/dumbbells twice a week for 3 months, whereas the comparison group received the usual care. QoL was the major outcome variable. Data were analysed using chi‐square test, Student's t test and generalised estimating equation (GEE). Results The various definition criteria for SO can influence the results of QoL in the older persons. From the body composition perspective, in the GEE analysis, the SO cut‐off points for neither skeletal muscle mass percentage (SMMp) nor appendicular skeletal muscle mass index demonstrated significant between‐group differences in the QoL variable after the 3‐month RT intervention. Between‐group analysis revealed a significant effect of time on anxiety/depression [Exp(B): 0.41, 95% confidence interval: 0.18–0.93, p‐value
