Knee extension strength measurements should be considered as part of the comprehensive geriatric assessment
Geriatrics | FFM, PBF | Yeung et al. | 2018 | Netherlands | BMC Geriatrics
Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) generally includes handgrip strength (HGS) as a measure of overall muscle strength that is associated with various health characteristics in geriatric outpatients. Whether this is also true for knee extension strength (KES) is yet unknown. This study aims to compare the associations between health characteristics from the CGA with both HGS and KES in geriatric outpatients. Data were retrieved from a cross-sectional study. A total of 163 community-dwelling older adults referred to a geriatric …
Maximum gait speed is associated with a wide range of cognitive functions in Japanese older adults with a Clinical Dementia Rat
Geriatrics | BMI, Segmental FFM, SMI | H Umegaki et al. | 2018 | Japan | Geriatrics & Gerontology International
Aim Physical and cognitive functions are mutually associated. However, it is unknown which markers of physical functions or body composition are most strongly associated with cognition. Here, we explored the association between body composition/physical performance and comprehensive neuropsychological assessments in an effort to identify reliable markers of cognition among factors in body composition/physical performance, including both usual and maximum gait speeds. Methods We examined a total of 161 …
Iron Status in Elderly Women Impacts Myostatin, Adiponectin and Osteocalcin Levels Induced by Nordic Walking Training
Geriatrics | BFM, PBF, SMM, FFM | Kortas et al. | 2020 | Poland | Nutrients
Impaired iron metabolism is associated with increased risk of many morbidities. Exercise was shown to have a beneficial role; however, the mechanism is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between exerkines and iron metabolism in elderly women before and after 12 weeks of Nordic Walking (NW) training. Exerkines like myostatin, adiponectin, and osteocalcin have been shown to have several positive effects on metabolism. Thirty-six post-menopausal women (66±5 years old, mean±SD) were randomly …
Six weeks of combined aerobic and resistance exercise using outdoor exercise machines improves fitness, insulin resistance, and
Geriatrics | SMM, PBF | D.-I. Kim et al. | 2017 | Korea | Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a six-week-long exercise program using outdoor exercise equipment on fitness, insulin resistance and adipocytokines among Korean elderly. Methods A total of 47 participants were randomized into one of the following three groups; control, resistance exercise or combined exercise (aerobic and resistance exercise). The resistance exercise group completed three resistance types of exercise. The combined exercise group completed five exercises, including three resistance …
Translation and validation of the Korean version of the Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL-K®) questionnaire and applicability
Geriatrics | ASMI | Yoo et al. | 2020 | Korea | Quality of Life Research
Purpose The purpose of this paper was to translate and validate into the Korea language and setting the Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL®) questionnaire. Methods The participants consisted of 450 individuals in Namgaram-2 cohort who were followed up in 2019–2020. The study participants were divided into four groups:(1) SARC-F< 4,(2) SARC-F≥ 4 and robust grip strength,(3) SARC-F≥ 4, low grip strength, robust muscle mass,(4) SARC-F≥ 4, low grip strength, and low muscle mass. To assess construct validity …
Relationship between swallowing muscles and trunk muscle mass in healthy elderly individuals: A cross-sectional study
Geriatrics | Segmental FFM, SMI, BFM, PBF | K. Yoshimi et al. | 2018 | Japan | Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics
Background and objective A decrease of swallowing muscle strength causes dysphagia, and a relationship between swallowing muscle strength and appendicular muscle mass has been reported. Moreover, the effect of trunk retention function on swallowing function has been clinically recognized. However, the relationship between trunk muscle mass and swallowing muscle strength is unclear. We aimed to clarify the association between these variables in elderly individuals. Methods Subjects were 118 healthy community-dwelling …
