The prospective relationship between low muscle mass and thyroid hormones among 198 069 euthyroid men and women; comparing diff
Endocrinology | ASM, BMI | Park et al. | 2020 | Korea | Int J Clin Pract
Objective The impact of thyroid hormones within normal range on muscle mass remains unknown. We examined the association between new onset of low muscle mass (LMM) and thyroid hormones among euthyroid men and women with three different definitions of LMM in prospective cohort study. Methods We performed a cohort study of 198 069 Korean adults (mean age of 39.2 years), free of LMM at baseline, who participated in a repeated screening examination and were followed up annually or biennially for up to 6.3 years. Thyroid …
Uric acid is associated with adiposity factors, especially with fat mass reduction during weight loss in obese children and ado
Endocrinology | BMI, BFM, FFM | Niu et al. | 2020 | China | Nutr Metab (Lond)
Current adult studies suggest that uric acid (UA) is associated with body fat, but the relationship in obese children is unclear. Thus, we aim to evaluate the association between uric acid and body composition of obese children. A total of 79 obese children were included in this study, and 52 children (34 boys and 18 girls) underwent a 6-week weight loss camp, including 34 boys and 18 girls. Six-week weight-loss interventions were performed on all participants through aerobic exercise and appropriate dietary control. Laboratory tests and …
High prevalence and clinical impact of dynapenia and sarcopenia in Japanese patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes: Findings
Endocrinology | SMI | Mori et al. | 2020 | Japan | J Diabetes Investig
Abstract Aims/Introduction The present study aimed to clarify the prevalence and clinical characteristics of sarcopenia and dynapenia, which are muscle weakness with and without low muscle mass, respectively, in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and Methods This cross‐sectional study enrolled 1,328 participants with type 1 diabetes (n= 177), type 2 diabetes (n= 645) and without diabetes (n= 506). Sarcopenia was defined as a low grip strength and slow gait speed with low skeletal …
Distinct Relevance of Nightly Sleep Duration to Metabolic, Anthropometric, and Lifestyle Factors in Patients with Type 2 Diabet
Endocrinology | PBF, SMM | Nakayama et al. | 2020 | Japan | Intern Med
Objective Although a number of studies have shown that both short and long sleep durations were associated with the risk of metabolic disorders related to obesity, the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed the association of sleep duration with metabolic, anthropometric, and lifestyle factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods The subjects were 279 patients with type 2 diabetes 63 (52-70) years old (median and interquartile range) with a body mass index of 25.0 (22.2-28.3) kg/m 2 and HbA1c levels …
Effect of exercise habit on skeletal muscle mass varies with protein intake in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes: a retrosp
Endocrinology | SMI | Hashimoto et al. | 2020 | Japan | Nutrients
Exercise has been reported to be effective in maintaining and recovering muscle; however, the effect of exercise combined with adequate or inadequate protein intake on muscle mass is not clear. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of exercise habit on changes in muscle mass, with adequate or inadequate protein intake. This retrospective cohort study included 214 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. The rate of skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) change (%) was defined as ((SMI at follow-up minus SMI at baseline)/(follow-up years …
The impact of FTO genetic variants on obesity and its metabolic consequences is dependent on daily macronutrient intake
Endocrinology | BFM, PBF | Czajkowski et al. | 2020 | Poland | Nutrients
Numerous studies have identified the various fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) genetic variants associated with obesity and its metabolic consequences; however, the impact of dietary factors on these associations remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between FTO single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), daily macronutrient intake, and obesity and its metabolic consequences. From 1549 Caucasian subjects of Polish origin, genotyped for the FTO SNPs (rs3751812, rs8044769, rs8050136, and …
The relationship between vitamin D status and visceral fat accumulation in males with type 2 diabetes
Endocrinology | VFA | Liu et al. | 2020 | China | J Nutr Sci Vitaminol
Vitamin D deficiency may play an important role in obesity. The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between vitamin D status and visceral fat accumulation in males with type 2 diabetes. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 128 adult males with type 2 diabetes in Qinhuangdao. The nutritional status of vitamin D was assessed by circulating levels of 25 (OH) D, vitamin D deficiency, 30 nmol/L, vitamin D insufficiency 30–50 nmol/L and vitamin D sufficiency. 50 nmol/L. Accumulation of visceral fat was defined as visceral fat …
The effect of ultrasound cavitation in combination with cryolipolysis as a non-invasive selective procedure for abdominal fat r
Endocrinology | BMI, BFM, FFM | Khedmatgozar et al. | 2020 | Iran | Diabetes & Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews
Background and aim Fat reduction and body contouring have become popular procedures in the cosmetic surgery industry over the past decade. There have been studies to replace invasive methods such as liposuction, with safer non-invasive procedures. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a non-invasive combination therapy of ultrasound cavitation and cryolipolysis on abdominal adipose tissue. Methods This pilot interventional study comprised 90 female individuals aged 18-65-years-old who were recruited into one of three …
Effect of the intake of dietary protein on insulin resistance in subjects with obesity: a randomized controlled clinical trial
Endocrinology | SMM, BFM, REE | González‑Salazar et al. | 2020 | Mexico | European Journal of Nutrition
Purpose We compared the effect of diets with different amounts and sources of dietary protein on insulin sensitivity (IS) in subjects with obesity and insulin resistance (IR). Methods Eighty subjects with obesity (BMI≥ 30 kg/m 2) and IR (Matsuda index< 4.3 and HOMA-IR≥ 2.5) over 18 years old were randomized to four groups for a one-month period: a normal protein diet (< 20%) with a predominance of animal protein (Animal NP) or vegetable protein (Vegetable NP) and a high-protein diet (25–30%) with a predominance of animal protein …
Metabolic and Nutritional Characteristics in Middle-Aged and Elderly Sarcopenia Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Endocrinology | ASMI | He et al. | 2020 | China | Journal of Diabetes Research
Sarcopenia is considered to be a new complication of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) leading to increased risk of adverse outcome. We performed a survey to evaluate glucose metabolism and nutritional status in sarcopenia patients with T2DM. Diabetic participants aged≥ 50 years were grouped into a probable sarcopenia group with low muscle strength () and a nonsarcopenia group with normal muscle strength () according to the revised recommendations from EWGSOP2 (2018). Compared to the controls, the probable …
