Comparing mini sarcopenia risk assessment with SARC-F for screening sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Segmental FFM, SMI | M. Yang et al. | 2018 | China | Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
Abstract Objective The Mini Sarcopenia Risk Assessment (MSRA), a new sarcopenia screening tool, has 2 versions: MSRA-7 (full version, 7 items) and MSRA-5 (short version, 5 items). We aimed to compare the diagnostic values of MSRA-7 and MSRA-5 to SARC-F for screening sarcopenia. Design A diagnostic accuracy study. Setting A community in Chengdu, China. Participants Older adults. Measurements Muscle mass, strength, and physical performance were tested using a bioimpedance analysis (BIA) device, handgrip …
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 …
Comparisons of predictive values of sarcopenia with different muscle mass indices in Korean rural older adults: a longitudinal
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Segmental muscle mass | Jang et al | 2018 | Korea | Clinical Interventions in Aging
Purpose It is important to define lean muscle mass when diagnosing sarcopenia, but there is still controversy on the clinical implication of sarcopenia derived by height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) adjusted muscle mass indices. We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal clinical relevance of 3 sarcopenia definitions in the Korean population.
Intramuscular sex steroid hormones are associated with skeletal muscle strength and power in women with different hormonal stat
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | FFM, BFM | Pöllänen, E. et al. | 2015 | Finland | Aging Cell
Summary Estrogen (E 2)‐responsive peripheral tissues, such as skeletal muscle, may suffer from hormone deficiency after menopause potentially contributing to the aging of muscle. However, recently E 2 was shown to be synthesized by muscle and its systemic and intramuscular hormone levels are unequal. The objective of the study was to examine the association between intramuscular steroid hormones and muscle characteristics in premenopausal women (n= 8) and in postmenopausal monozygotic twin sister pairs (n= 16 …
A Hospital-Based Prospective Cohort Study of Aged People to Elucidate the Predictive Factors for Chronic Disease and Mortality:
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMM, BFM | Kyoung Min Kim et al. | 2017 | Korea | Annals of Geriatric Medicine and Research
BACKGROUND The world over, the multimorbidity associated with aging is proving to be a great socio-economic burden. The loss of muscle mass and increased adiposity are typical of aging, but the number of longitudinal studies focusing on sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity is currently limited. We launched a hospital-based, prospective cohort study of aged people (HAPPY cohort) to identify the impact of sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity on the occurrence of chronic diseases including diabetes, or its vascular complications …
Effects of linear versus nonperiodized resistance training on isometric force and skeletal muscle mass adaptations in sarcopeni
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMM | de Freitas MC, et al. | 2019 | Brazil | Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of linear periodization (LP) versus nonperiodized (NP) resistance training on upper-body isometric force and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in sarcopenic older adults. Twenty sarcopenic older adults were randomly assigned into the LP and NP groups and performed 16 weeks of resistance training. The SMM was measured by octopolar bioelectrical impedance. The isometric force for handgrip and trunk were assessed by dynamometer. Evaluations were performed at baseline, after 4 …
Effect of high body mass index on knee muscle strength and function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamst
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | BW, FFM, BFM | WH Hsu et al. | 2018 | Taiwan | BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Increased body mass index (BMI) has been associated with poorer function in patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, the effect of high BMI on muscle strength in these patients remained unclear. The current study aimed to compare knee muscle strength and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) in ACL-reconstructed patients with a variety of different BMIs. From November 2013 to March 2016, we prospectively enrolled 30 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction (18–60 …
Sarcopenia for predicting falls and hospitalization in community-dwelling older adults: EWGSOP versus EWGSOP2
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | ASM, BFM | Yang et al. | 2019 | China | Scientific Reports
Abstract The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) recently published an updated version (EWGSOP2). We aimed to compare the predictive values of EWGSOP-defined and EWGSOP2-defined sarcopenia for the incidence of falls and hospitalization in older adults. We defined sarcopenia according to the EWGSOP and the EWGSOP2. We further modified the cut-off points of the EWGSOP and EWGSOP2 according to the lowest quintile values of the gender-specific distribution of our study population …
Association of the new index of sarcopenic obesity with physical fitness in healthy Saudi men and women
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | BMI, M/F Ratio, BFM, Protein | L. Al-DOKHI | 2015 | Saudi Arabia | European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences
OBJECTIVE: Adults tend to gain weight as they get older. This gain of weight as a result of loss of muscles mass and deposition of fat, this leads to impaired insulin action and glucose uptake, which lead to the development of diabetes. Also, deposition of adipose tissue from the peripheral into the central visceral adipose depot predisposes to vascular disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship and gender differences between muscle mass/fat mass ratio with physical fitness in Saudi adult population. SUBJECTS AND …
Sarcopenia is associated with severe postoperative complications in elderly gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | FFM, SMM, SMI, BFM | Fukuda Y et al. | 2015 | Japan | Gastric Cancer
Background Malignancy is a secondary cause of sarcopenia, which is associated with impaired cancer treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of preoperative sarcopenia among elderly gastric cancer patients undergoing gastrectomy and the differences in preoperative dietary intake and postoperative complications between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients. Methods Ninety-nine patients over 65 years of age who underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer were analyzed. All patients underwent gait …
