Verification of the nutritional and dietary factors associated with skeletal muscle index in Japanese patients with nonalcoholi
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | Himoto et al. | 2020 | Japan | Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology
We sought to identify the frequencies of presarcopenia, sarcopenia, and sarcopenic obesity in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and to cross-sectionally determine the nutritional and dietary factors associated with loss of skeletal muscle mass in such patients. Dietary and body component changes produced by a diet intervention were longitudinally investigated. Forty-six NAFLD patients (24 males and 22 females) were enrolled. A second diet treatment was performed at 6 months after entry in 19 of the enrolled …
Patterns of sedentary time and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia: Cross-sectional study from the Al-ándalus project
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | PBF | Galivan-carrera et al. | 2020 | Spain | JMIR mHealth and uHealth
Background: Sedentary time (ST) has been associated with detrimental health outcomes in fibromyalgia. Previous evidence in the general population has shown that not only is the total amount of ST harmful but the pattern of accumulation of sedentary behaviors is also relevant to health, with prolonged unbroken periods (ie, bouts) being particularly harmful. Objective: To examine the association of the patterns of ST with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with fibromyalgia and to test whether these associations are …
Utility of Ultrasound as a Valid and Accurate Diagnostic Tool for Sarcopenia: Sex‐Specific Cutoff Values in Chronic Kidney Dise
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | ASM, TMM | J. Wilkinson et al. | 2020 | UK | Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine
Objectives Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have aberrant changes in body composition, including low skeletal muscle mass, a feature of “sarcopenia.” The measurement of the (quadriceps) rectus femoris (RF) cross‐sectional area (CSA) is widely used as a marker of muscle size. Cutoff values are needed to help discriminate the condition of an individual's muscle (eg, presence of sarcopenia) quickly and accurately. This could help distinguish those at greater risk and aid in targeted treatment programs. Methods …
A randomized controlled trial of resistance and balance exercise for sarcopenic patients aged 80–99 years
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | ASMI | Liang et al. | 2020 | China | Scientific reports
We compared a mixed exercise program (ie, balance exercise plus resistance exercise) with resistance exercise in a single-blind, randomized controlled trial in a post-acute care unit. In total, 60 sarcopenic patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group (12-week mixed exercise) and a control group (12-week resistance exercise). The primary outcomes were the change of the Barthel Index and the number of fallers. The intervention group showed a mean increase of 9.5 points on the Barthel Index (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.9 …
Prevalence and risk factors of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults visiting regional medical institutions from the Ka
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMM, SMI, BFM | Kurose et al. | 2020 | Japan | Scientific reports
This study aimed to investigate risk factors for sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults visiting regional medical institutions. We retrospectively analyzed medical records of 552 participants (mean age: 74.6±6.7 years, males 31.3%) who underwent body composition evaluation between March 2017 and December 2018 at one of 24 medical institutions belonging to the Kadoma City Medical Association in Japan. We collected the participant's characteristics and laboratory data. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the …
