There are many reports that dynapenia, sarcopenia and frailty each have associations with bodily function or with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). However, studies that compare all three conditions and their effects on IADL are lacking. The purpose of this study is to examine associations of sarcopenia, frailty, and dynapenia with IADL. Participants included 123 community-dwelling older adults (31 men, 92 women,) aged 65 years or older (75.0±5.3 years) who were independent in IADL. In terms of physical function …

Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | Nakagawa et al. | 2020 | Japan | Spine Surg Relat Res
5 Introduction: Sarcopenia, a condition characterized by decreased skeletal muscle mass, has 6 increasingly been attracting attention in Japan, which has an aged society. The association 7 between chronic low back pain (CLBP) and muscle mass is important. This study aimed to 8 investigate the effect of exercise therapy for CLBP with or without sarcopenia. 9 Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study. Patients who were aged> 65 years 10 during 2017–2018 and had CLBP, with pain lasting> 12 weeks and pain …
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 …
Metabolic syndrome, sarcopenia and role of sex and age: cross-sectional analysis of Kashiwa cohort study
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | Ishii S et al. | 2014 | Japan | PLoS One
Recent epidemiological evidence suggests that effects of cardiovascular risk factors may vary depending on sex and age. In this study, we assessed the associations of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with sarcopenia and its components in older adults, and examined whether the associations vary by sex and age. We also tested if any one of the MetS components could explain the associations. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the baseline data from the cohort study conducted in Kashiwa city, Chiba, Japan in 2012 which …
Comparison of balance, proprioception and skeletal muscle mass in total hip replacement patients with and without fracture: a p
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMI | Jo S et al. | 2017 | Korea | Annals of Rehabilitation Medicine
Objective To determine whether there was a difference in balance, proprioception, and skeletal muscle mass among patients who undergo hip fracture surgery relative to and elective total hip replacement (THR). Methods Thirty-one THR patients were enrolled. The patients were categorized into two groups: fracture group (n= 15) and non-fracture group (n= 16). Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to balance the proprioception of the hip joint while a joint position sense (JPS) test was used to evaluate it. Skeletal muscle mass was …
The association between osteoporosis and grip strength and skeletal muscle mass in community-dwelling older women
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Appendicular FFM, SMI | Y Taniguchi et al. | 2019 | Japan | International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
This cross-sectional study investigated the association between osteoporosis, grip strength, and skeletal muscle mass in community-dwelling older women. Data obtained from 265 older women who participated in a community-based health check survey (Tarumizu Study) were analyzed. Face-to-face interviews with participants revealed their history of osteoporosis. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass was assessed through bioelectrical impedance analysis, and appendicular skeletal muscle index was calculated. Dominant grip …
