Predictors of discordance in the assessment of skeletal muscle mass between computed tomography and bioimpedance analysis
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Segmental FFM, SMI | MH Jo et al. | 2019 | Korea | Journal of Clinical Medicine
Computed tomography (CT) and bioimpedance analysis (BIA) can assess skeletal muscle mass (SMM). Our objective was to identify the predictors of discordance between CT and BIA in assessing SMM. Participants who received a comprehensive medical health check-up between 2010 and 2018 were recruited. The CT and BIA-based diagnostic criteria for low SMM are as follows: Defined CT cutoff values (lumbar skeletal muscle index (LSMI)< 1 standard deviation (SD) and means of 46.12 cm 2/m 2 for men and 34.18 cm 2/m 2 for …
Improved strength prediction combining clinically available measures of skeletal muscle mass and quality
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Phase Angle | B. Bourgeois et al. | 2018 | USA | Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Background Measures of skeletal muscle function decline at a faster rate with ageing than do indices of skeletal muscle mass. These observations have been attributed to age‐related changes in muscle quality, another functional determinant separate from skeletal muscle mass. This study tested the hypothesis that improved predictions of skeletal muscle strength can be accomplished by combining clinically available measures of skeletal muscle mass and quality. Methods The participants included 146 healthy adult (age≥ 18 years, range 18 …
Effects of a leucine-enriched amino acid supplement on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in post-stroke patie
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | Y Yoshimura et al. | 2018 | Japan | The End-to-end Journal
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a leucine-enriched amino acid supplement on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in post-stroke patients with sarcopenia. Methods We conducted an eight-wk, two-parallel group intervention, randomized controlled, blinded outcome assessment among 44 post-stroke older patients with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was defined as a loss of skeletal muscle mass and decreased muscle strength according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia …
Sarcopenia as a risk factor for cognitive deterioration in community-dwelling older adults: a 1-year prospective study
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMM, SMI | Nishiguchi S et al. | 2016 | Japan | Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
Objective The purpose of this 1-year prospective study was to determine whether sarcopenia is an independent risk factor of cognitive deterioration in community-dwelling older adults. Study Design One-year prospective study. Setting Japanese community. Participants A total of 131 community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older participated in this study. Measurements We defined sarcopenia using the diagnostic algorithm recommended by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia, and the participants …
