Li J, Lin Y, Deng H, Su X, Feng W, Shao Q, Zou K. Association of visceral adiposity index with sarcopenia based on NHANES data. Sci Rep 2024; 14:21169. [PMID: 39256533 PMCID: PMC11387758 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-72218-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 09/04/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) assesses visceral fat and related metabolic risks. However, its precise correlation with sarcopenia is unclear. This study aimed to examine this correlation. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using NHANES data from 2011 to 2018. To correct VAI skewness, a logarithmic transformation was applied. Multiple covariates were included, and logistic regression was employed to explore the relationship between VAI and sarcopenia. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) and threshold saturation analyses were used to investigate the nonlinear relationship. Subgroup analyses evaluated the effects of various stratification factors. Sensitivity and additive analyses tested the robustness of the findings. The study included 4688 individuals. Participants with sarcopenia had significantly higher VAI values. Logistic regression revealed a significant positive connection between Log VAI and sarcopenia (OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.80-2.43) after adjusting for variables. RCS analysis showed a nonlinear correlation, identifying a breakpoint at VAI = 1.51. To the left of this breakpoint, each unit increase in VAI significantly correlated with a higher likelihood of sarcopenia (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.74-3.79); to the right, increases in VAI did not significantly affect prevalence. Subgroup analyses suggested VAI as an independent risk factor. Sensitivity and additive analyses confirmed the main findings' robustness. Among American adults, the VAI is significantly associated with sarcopenia, with higher VAI values potentially increasing the prevalence of sarcopenia. Monitoring VAI is critical for early identification of high-risk individuals and interventions to delay or minimize the onset and progression of sarcopenia.

Impact of Serum Creatinine- and Cystatin C-Based Sarcopenia Index on Renal Outcomes in Non-Dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: Results From the KNOW-CKD Study. Mayo Clin Proc 2024; 99:1388-1398. [PMID: 39115506 DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2024.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 01/10/2024] [Accepted: 03/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of the serum creatinine- and cystatin C-based new sarcopenia index (SI) on renal outcomes in non-dialysis-dependent patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS In this observational Korean Cohort Study for Outcome in Patients With CKD (KNOW-CKD), 1957 patients with CKD stage 1 to stage 4 were analyzed from 2011 to 2019. Men and women were separately assigned to quartile groups according to their SI. The primary outcome was a composite renal outcome consisting of 50% reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate or end-stage kidney disease. With use of Fine and Gray subdistribution hazard models, the association between the SI and the primary outcome was analyzed. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 6.0 (4.2 to 7.7) years, the primary composite renal outcome occurred in 528 (28.6%) patients within a median of 3.0 (1.8 to 5.0) years. In unadjusted and adjusted models, lower SI groups had a poor primary outcome compared with the highest group (quartile 4). The hazard ratios for quartiles 1, 2, and 3 compared with quartile 4 in the fully adjusted model were 4.47 (95% CI, 3.05 to 6.56; P<.001), 3.08 (95% CI, 2.13 to 4.48; P<.001), and 2.09 (95% CI, 1.45 to 3.01; P<.001), respectively. Restricted cubic spline regression analyses found a relatively inverse linear relationship between the SI and the composite renal outcome. CONCLUSION The new SI is an independent predictor of renal outcomes. A low SI is associated with poor renal outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study examined the predictive value of the gluteal muscle index (GMI) for diagnosing sarcopenia in patients with degenerative lumbar disease (DLD), highlighting the need for effective diagnostic markers in this population. METHODS This prospective observational study included 202 elderly patients scheduled for lumbar spine surgery. Muscle indices for psoas, paraspinal, and gluteal muscles were measured using multiaxial computed tomography. Sarcopenia was diagnosed per the 2019 Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) criteria. Statistical analysis comprised univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify predictors of sarcopenia. RESULTS Of patients, 77% were diagnosed with sarcopenia. The GMI and psoas muscle index (PMI) were identified as significant predictors of sarcopenia in the univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis confirmed their predictive value, with higher indices correlating with a reduced risk of sarcopenia (GMI odds ratio [OR] = 0.95, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.92-0.97; PMI OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.92-0.98, both P < .001). CONCLUSION The GMI serves as a reliable predictor of sarcopenia in elderly patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery for DLD, suggesting a significant role of gluteal muscles in diagnosing sarcopenia. Incorporating GMI into clinical assessments is critical to better manage and diagnose sarcopenia in this population.

Parfenteva OI, Kulemin NA, Bondareva EA, Ahmetov II. Prevalence and Predictors of Normal-Weight Obesity among Women. Nutrients 2024; 16:2579. [PMID: 39203715 PMCID: PMC11357504 DOI: 10.3390/nu16162579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to (a) assess normal-weight obesity (NWO) and general obesity prevalence among women of different ages residing in urban areas, (b) evaluate subcutaneous fat thickness (SFT) in women with NWO, (c) establish SFT cutoff points for distinguishing NWO, and (d) explore eating habits linked to NWO. This cross-sectional study with 184 women aged 18-65 with NWO, normal weight without obesity (NWNO), overweight and general obesity included evaluation of body composition, SFT assessment using 2.5 MHz A-mode ultrasound (ISAK protocol, 7 sites) and lifestyle inquiries. The curvilinear relationship between body fat and BMI rendered BMI an unreliable indicator of adiposity in women with normal weight (BMI < 25 kg/m2). Almost 30% of women with a high body fat percentage (BFP ≥ 30%) were misclassified when BMI was used to measure adiposity. The overall obesity prevalence defined by BFP was almost four times higher than that defined by BMI (56.0 vs. 18.0%, p = 1 × 10-4). Women with NWO, overweight and general obesity shared a similar SFT profile and eating habits, setting them apart from those with NWNO. The mean SFT was the most reliable NWO predictor, with a threshold set at 12 mm equal to the 66th percentile. Mean SFT accurately classified 85% of women with NWO. While age did not significantly affect subcutaneous fat accumulation, total fat levels increased with age (R2 = 0.07 and R2 = 0.19, padj = 0.1 and padj = 9 × 10-4). Higher NWO prevalence in middle-aged women was linked to age-related increase in fat mass and decrease in fat-free mass. Engaging in regular physical activity and reducing snack consumption effectively countered age-related changes in body composition (padj < 0.05). Women under 45 years who consumed sweet bakery items, fast food, and snacks more frequently showed higher BFP and NWO status (padj < 0.05). Prevention strategies should focus on monitoring body composition and promoting healthy behaviors, particularly among young women transitioning into adulthood and women over 45 years.

Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2024; 48:102379. [PMID: 38795964 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2024.102379] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/28/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The relationship between the psoas muscle index (PMI) and the appendicular skeletal muscle index (ASMI) in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) is not yet understood. Our goal is to determine which level of the lumbar spine best represents the appendicular skeletal muscle. METHODS AND MATERIALS This retrospective study involved patients with cACLD between January 2020 and December 2021. We documented the patients' body weight, height, gait speed, handgrip strength, appendicular skeletal muscle measured by DXA, and psoas muscle area segmented on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Low muscle mass, as defined by the Asian working group for sarcopenia, is less than 7.0 kg/m2 in males and less than 5.4 kg/m2 in females. We analyzed the correlation between PMI and ASMI. RESULTS A total of 134 patients were enrolled in the study, with 74 being male and 60 being female. The mean age was 63.9 ± 7.7 years old. Significant associations (p < 0.001) were found between PMI of all levels and ASMI. In the analysis of Pearson's correlation coefficients, it was noted that the r value increased gradually in both males (r = 0.3197 at L2, 0.4006 at L3, 0.5769 at L4) and females (r = 0.3771 at L2, 0.4557 at L3, 0.5251 at L4). Similarly, the area under the curve (AUC) values predicting low muscle mass were as follows: for males, AUC=0.582 at L2, 0.619 at L3, 0.728 at L4; for females, AUC=0.685 at L2, 0.733 at L3, 0.744 at L4. The cut-off point for PMI in males was 4.12 at L2, 6.25 at L3, and 8.48 at L4, while in females was 2.61 at L2, 4.47 at L3, 6.07 at L4. CONCLUSION The Psoas muscle index can be used to assess the muscle mass status in patients with cACLD. Among the various levels that can be used, we recommend using the fourth inferior endplate of the lumbar spine, as it shows the highest correlation. Additionally, we suggest using a PMI cut-off point of 8.48 cm2/m2 for males and 6.07 cm2/m2 for females as a predictor of low muscle mass in Asian.

Abstract
The relationship between sarcopenia and the long-term risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. This study recruited a large prospective Caucasian cohort from the UK Biobank. Participants were assessed at baseline with handgrip strength and muscle mass and were categorized into groups of non-sarcopenia, probable sarcopenia, and confirmed sarcopenia. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model were used to explore the association between sarcopenia and the incidence of AF. The genetic predisposition of AF was assessed by polygenic risk score. Sensitivity analyses were performed to validate the results. A total of 384,433 participants with a median age of 58 years and 54.3% women were enrolled in this study. There were 24,007 cases of new-onset AF over a median follow-up of 12.56 years. The groups of non-sarcopenia, probable sarcopenia, and confirmed sarcopenia accounted for 22,290 (6.1%), 1665 (9.2%), and 52 (11.9%) cases, respectively. Compared with the non-sarcopenia group, participants with probable sarcopenia or confirmed sarcopenia had an 8% (95% CI, 1.03-1.14) or 61% (95% CI, 1.23-2.12) higher risk of AF incidence. The findings remained robust in multiple sensitivity analyses, such as subgroup analysis and further adjustment of genetic predisposition. Notably, the association between sarcopenia and a high AF risk was more pronounced in younger participants, women, and those with valvular heart disease. In conclusion, sarcopenia was associated with a high long-term risk of AF in Caucasians, supporting sarcopenia as a new independent risk factor of AF.

Cho HJ, Lee HS, Kang J. Varying clinical relevance of sarcopenia and myosteatosis according to age among patients with postoperative colorectal cancer. J Nutr Health Aging 2024; 28:100243.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The present retrospective study reviewed the association among sarcopenia, myosteatosis, and overall survival (OS) in patients with postoperative colorectal cancer (CRC) with regard to age. DESIGN A retrospective study was conducted with a five-year follow-up. SETTING Data from all patients with CRC, who underwent surgery between February 2005 and April 2014, were reviewed. PARTICIPANTS Data from 1053 patients (622 male [59.1%], 431 female [40.9%]; mean [± SD] age, 62.8 ± 11.8 years) were analyzed. MEASUREMENTS Patients were divided into three groups according to age: ≤50, 51-74, and ≥75 years. Data, including perioperative parameters, and the presence of sarcopenia and myosteatosis according to skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD), respectively, were collected. Sarcopenia was evaluated using CT by calculating the SMI at the L3 level by dividing the area of the skeletal muscle by height squared (cm2/m2). SMD was also calculated using CT at the L3 level, but by evaluating fat attenuation according to Hounsfield units (HU). RESULTS Patient allocation according to age group was as follows: ≤50 years, n = 147 (14.0%); 51-74 years, n = 742 (70.5%); and ≥75 years, n = 164 (15.5%). The presence of sarcopenia and myosteatosis were statistically significant with increasing age (P = 0.004 and P < 0.001, respectively). The 51-74 years age group exhibited a significant association in OS for myosteatosis (P < 0.001) while the ≥75 years group was significantly associated with sarcopenia (P = 0.04) with regard to OS. Multivariable analysis also revealed a statistically significant association between myosteatosis in the 51-74 years age group (P = 0.033) and sarcopenia in the ≥75 years age group (P = 0.005) even when adjusted for recurrence status. CONCLUSION Different age groups exhibited significantly variable skeletal muscle indices. Although an abundance of irrefutable results demonstrated a correlation between CT-defined sarcopenia, myosteatosis, and clinical prognosis, data regarding age-dependent correlations are scarce. Results of this study demonstrated that sarcopenia and myosteatosis did not influence the prognosis of young patients with postoperative CRC (≤50 years of age), inferring the existence of significantly different skeletal muscle-related parameters according to age. Patients over 75 years of age showed significant association with sarcopenia while those in the 51-74 age group displayed significant link to myosteatosis. Clinicians should consider the impact of sarcopenia and myosteatosis on patient prognosis and should also be aware that the effect may differ according to patient age.

Abstract
Background and Aims Physical performance is a major contributor of mobility and independence during older life. Despite a progressive decline in musculoskeletal function starts from middle age, several factors acting during the life-course can negatively influence musculoskeletal functional capacities. Lifestyle interventions incorporating nutrition and physical exercise can help maximizing the muscle functional capacities in early life as well as preserving them later in life. Among various dietary compounds, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are gaining growing attention for their potential effects on muscle membrane composition and muscle function. Indeed, several pathways are enhanced, such as an attenuation of pro-inflammatory oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling and reduction of insulin resistance. Methods We performed a narrative review to explore the existing literature on the relationship between omega-3 PUFAs and physical performance across the life-course. Results Growing evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggests beneficial effects of omega-3 PUFAs on muscle function, including physical performance parameters in mid to later life. On the other hand, despite a direct association in early life is not available in literature, some mechanisms by which omega-3 PUFAs may contribute to improved adult physical performance could be hypothesized. Conclusion Omega-3 PUFAs are gaining growing attention for their positive effect on muscle function parameters. The integration of physical function measures in future studies would be of great interest to explore whether omega-3 PUFAs could contribute to improved muscle function, starting from early life and extending throughout the lifespan. However, larger and high-quality RCTs are needed to fully elucidate the beneficial effects of omega-3 PUFAs supplementation on muscle mass and function.

Abstract
Background Sarcopenia is associated with oxidative stress. The Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) is commonly used to assess dietary and lifestyle exposure to oxidative stress. However, few studies in the literature have assessed the correlation between sarcopenia and OBS. Aim This study aimed to assess the association between OBS and sarcopenia among young and middle-aged adults in the United States using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Method Weighted logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between OBS and sarcopenia based on data from NHANES 2011-2018. Subgroup analyses were performed to observe the consistency of the outcomes, and the stability of the results was tested using sensitivity analyses. Result The final sample included 5,525 young and middle-aged American adults. A higher OBS was associated with a lower risk of sarcopenia. In the fully adjusted model, the second (odds ratio [OR]: 0.62, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41, 0.94; p = 0.023), third (OR: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.34, 0.74; p < 0.001), and highest quartiles (OR: 0.18; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.28; p < 0.001) of the OBS were associated with higher risks of sarcopenia when compared to the lowest quartile. This association was consistent across both dietary and lifestyle OBS scores. Our subgroup analysis revealed no significant differences between the subgroups of variables included in the interaction analysis. Sensitivity analyses revealed similar results. Conclusion Our study showed that higher antioxidant and lower antioxidant exposure may decrease the risk of developing sarcopenia. Higher OBS scores may indicate greater protection against sarcopenia; however, further clinical studies are warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
AIM The serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) or sarcopenia index is considered a useful marker of muscle mass. However, its usefulness in late-stage older adults remains unclear. We aimed to determine the usefulness of CCR as an indicator of sarcopenia in community-dwelling Japanese adults aged >75 years. METHODS Our study recruited participants aged 70, 80, and 90 ± 1 years during the baseline years, and included a 3-year follow-up in the Septuagenarians, Octogenarians, Nonagenarians, Investigation with Centenarians study. From 2015 to 2018, 955 participants were eligible: 367 in their 70s, 304 in their 80s, and 284 in their 90s. The diagnostic components of sarcopenia, including "low muscle mass, plus low muscle strength, and/or low physical performance," were evaluated using the bioelectrical impedance analysis-measured skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), handgrip strength, and short physical performance battery (SPPB) score, respectively, in accordance with the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. Separate analyses were performed between each component and CCR, adjusting for sex, body mass index, and other blood biomarkers in each group. RESULTS The relationship between CCR and sarcopenia components was significant for handgrip strength (β = 0.21, 0.13, 0.19, and P < 0.0001, =0.0088, <0.0001, for the 70s, 80s, and 90s age groups, respectively); however, it was limited for SMI (β = 0.14; P = 0.0022, only for the 90s) and not significant for the SPPB score. CONCLUSION CCR is a limited indicator of sarcopenia in late-stage older adults. Although its association with muscle strength was significant, its relationship with muscle mass and physical performance was less pronounced. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 529-536.

Int J Obes (Lond) 2024; 48:891-899. [PMID: 38383717 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-024-01493-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2023] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to estimate the prevalence of early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in the United States and its relative risk due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS Data in this cross-sectional study were extracted from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2015-2018. Weighted multistage stratified probability sampling design was considered to estimate the prevalence of early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity. Weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses and weighted multivariable mediation models were performed to evaluate the association between OSA and early-onset sarcopenia. RESULTS The prevalence of early-onset sarcopenia and early-onset sarcopenic obesity was estimated to be 5.5% and 4.6%, respectively. A higher prevalence of sarcopenia (12% V.S. 5.5%, P < 0.01) and sarcopenic obesity (10.3% V.S. 4.0%, P < 0.01) was observed among participants with OSA than those without OSA. Multivariable logistic regression models suggested that participants with OSA had higher odds ratios of suffering from early-onset sarcopenia [Odds Ratio (OR): 1.5, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.1-2.7] and early-onset sarcopenic obesity [OR: 1.8, 95% CI: 1.1-3.1] after adjusting for potential confounding variables. Mediation analyses suggested serum chronic reaction protein (CRP) mediated 23.7% (P < 0.01) & 26.2% (P < 0.01), homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) mediated 24.8% (P < 0.01) & 20.7% (P < 0.05), body mass index (BMI) mediated 46.4% (P < 0.05) & 49.9% (P < 0.01), HEI-2015 mediated 23.3% (P < 0.01) & 25.6% (P < 0.01), and Vitamin D mediated 7.5% (P < 0.01) & 8.5% (P < 0.01) of the potential effects of OSA on early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, respectively. CONCLUSION Early-onset sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were prevalent among young adults in the US. OSA is a significant independent risk factor and may induce muscle loss by unhealthy diet habits, higher BMI, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and Vitamin D. It was essential for clinicians to arrange appropriate screening and interventions for patients with OSA to prevent muscle loss as early as possible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Early life growth restriction significantly increases the risk of adulthood physical inactivity and thereby chronic disease incidence. Improvements in motor skill acquisition could result in greater physical activity engagement in the growth-restricted population, thus reducing chronic disease risk. The purpose of this study was to implement an early life motor training intervention to improve physical activity engagement in control and growth-restricted mice. METHODS Mice were growth restricted in early life utilizing a validated nutritive model or remained fully nourished in early life as a control. All mice were tested throughout early life for various components of motor skill acquisition. On postnatal day 10, mice were randomly assigned to engage in an early life motor skill intervention daily until postnatal day 21 or remained as a sedentary control. All mice were given access to an in-cage running wheel from postnatal days 45-70. RESULTS Growth-restricted group (PGR) mice had impaired trunk and postural control, coordination/vestibular development, and hindlimb strength in early life compared with control mice. There were no differences in wheel running behavior between the trained and sedentary mice, although control mice ran at a faster average speed compared with PGR mice. Control female mice ran more than PGR female mice during the week 2 dark cycle. CONCLUSIONS Early life growth restriction reduced motor skill attainment throughout early life, which may be associated with reduced ability to engage in physical activity in adulthood. The early life motor skill intervention did not elicit changes in body weight or physical activity engagement in control or PGR mice, indicating that a more intense/different intervention specifically targeting skeletal muscle may be necessary to counteract the detrimental effects of early life growth restriction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although loss of muscle mass may be associated with general weakness, intolerance to physical activity and fatigue, it is underestimated and poorly understood in patients with sarcoidosis. AIM To compare the quadriceps femoris muscle (QFM) thickness measured by ultrasonography (US) between the female patients with sarcoidosis and controls, secondly to assess the correlation between the muscle strength, fatigue and QFM thickness. DESIGN Observational, case-control study. SETTING Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department of a University Hospital. POPULATION Thirty-one women with sarcoidosis and 27 healthy volunteers were included in the study. METHODS The participants were evaluated for the following outcomes: 1) handgrip strength; 2) QFM thickness measured using US; and 3) sonographic thigh adjustment ratio (STAR). The sarcoidosis group was also evaluated with the 30-second chair stand test (30s-CST) and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). RESULTS The QFM thickness and STAR values of the patients with sarcoidosis were significantly lower than those of the controls (P=0.0001). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the handgrip strengths of the groups (P=0.581). There was no statistically significant correlation between the STAR values and handgrip strength in the sarcoidosis group; however, there was a significant positive correlation between the STAR values and 30s-CST (r=0.467, P=0.008). CONCLUSIONS Loss of muscle mass is one of the musculoskeletal conditions in patients with sarcoidosis that may be associated with nonspecific symptoms, such as general debility, intolerance to physical activity, and fatigue. In the present study, no difference was observed in hand grip strength between the groups, while we found that QFM thickness was affected in patients with sarcoidosis when compared to the controls. The ultrasonographic QFM evaluation seems to be an innovative tool which may be used at all stages of sarcoidosis patient follow-up. CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT The grip strength is a commonly used test to detect muscle weakness, but onset of a decrease in muscle mass in the lower extremities may occur earlier. Considering the increased burden of musculoskeletal problems in this population, performing 30s-CST and sonographic QFM thickness is practical methods to identify risky patients.

Multidimensional Assessment of Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity in Geriatric Patients: Creatinine/Cystatin C Ratio Performs Better than Sarcopenia Index. Metabolites 2024; 14:306. [PMID: 38921440 PMCID: PMC11205317 DOI: 10.3390/metabo14060306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Revised: 05/17/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio (CCR) and the sarcopenia index (SI) are novel indicators for sarcopenia, but their accuracy may depend on various confounders. To assess CCR and SI diagnostic accuracy, we studied the clinical and biophysical parameters associated with sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity. A total of 79 elderly patients (65-99 yrs, 33 females) underwent clinical, anthropometric, body composition, geriatric performance, and blood chemistry evaluation. The CCR and SI accuracy were assessed to identify sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was confirmed in 40.5%, and sarcopenic obesity in 8.9% of the subjects. Sarcopenic patients showed an increased Charlson comorbidity index, cardiovascular disease (CVD) rates and frailty, and decreased physical performance than non-sarcopenic subjects. Patients with sarcopenic obesity had increased body fat and inflammatory markers compared to obese subjects without sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was associated with a decreased CCR and SI. However, when the logistic regression models were adjusted for possible confounders (i.e., age, gender, Charlson comorbidity index, presence of CVD, and frailty score), a significant OR was confirmed for the CCR (OR 0.021, 95% CI 0.00055-0.83) but not for the SI. The AUC for the CCR for sarcopenia discrimination was 0.72. A higher performance was observed in patients without chronic kidney diseases (CKD, AUC 0.83). CCR, more than the SI, is a useful, non-invasive, and cost-effective tool to predict sarcopenia, irrespective of the potential confounders, particularly in subjects without CKD.

Abstract
Background Sarcopenia frequently occurs as a comorbidity in individuals with COPD. However, research on the impact of Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass (ASM) on survival in COPD patients is scarce. Moreover, there is a lack of research on the association between dietary pro-inflammatory capacity and sarcopenia in COPD. Methods We analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) covering the years 1999 to 2006 and 2011 to 2018. We aimed to investigate the relationship between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and sarcopenia prevalence among adults diagnosed with COPD in the United States. Furthermore, we sought to explore the relationship between sarcopenia, ASMI, and all-cause mortality. The study included a total of 1,429 eligible adult participants, divided into four groups based on quartiles of DII, with adjustments for sample weights. Methodologically, we used multivariable logistic regression analyses and to examine the association between DII and sarcopenia. Additionally, we used restricted cubic spline (RCS) tests to evaluate potential non-linear relationships. To assess the effect of sarcopenia on overall all-cause mortality, we used Kaplan-Meier models and Cox proportional hazards models. Moreover, we used RCS analyses to investigate potential non-linear relationships between ASMI and all-cause mortality. Subgroup analyses were conducted to confirm the reliability of our study findings. Results In our COPD participant cohort, individuals with higher DII scores were more likely to be female, unmarried, have lower educational attainment, and show lower ASMI. Using multivariable logistic regression models, we found a positive association between the highest quartile of DII levels and sarcopenia incidence [Odds Ratio (OR) 2.37; 95% Confidence Interval (CI) 1.26-4.48; p = 0.01]. However, analysis of RCS curves did not show a non-linear relationship between DII and sarcopenia. Throughout the entire follow-up period, a total of 367 deaths occurred among all COPD patients. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed a significantly higher all-cause mortality rate among individuals with concurrent sarcopenia (p < 0.0001). Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed a 44% higher risk of all-cause mortality among COPD patients with sarcopenia compared to those without sarcopenia [Hazard Ratio (HR): 1.44; 95% CI 1.05-1.99; p < 0.05]. Additionally, our final RCS analyses revealed a significant non-linear association between ASMI levels and all-cause mortality among COPD patients, with a turning point identified at 8.32 kg/m2. Participants with ASMI levels above this inflection point had a 42% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to those with ASMI levels below it (HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.48-0.7). Conclusion We observed a significant association between concurrent sarcopenia and an increased risk of all-cause mortality in COPD patients within the United States. Moreover, ASMI demonstrated a non-linear association with all-cause mortality, with a critical threshold identified at 8.32 kg/m2. Our findings also revealed an association between DII and the presence of sarcopenia. Consequently, further investigations are warranted to explore the feasibility of dietary DII adjustments as a means to mitigate muscle wasting and enhance the prognosis of COPD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between lung function and sarcopenia remains ambiguous. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the potential association between lung function and sarcopenia in the older adults, as well as to examine the mediating role of cognitive function in this relationship. METHODS The participants were selected from a nationally representative population-based cohort in China. The peak expiratory flow (PEF) measurement was used to evaluate the lung function in older persons. The sarcopenia was diagnosed using the guidelines of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) in 2019. The Cox proportional hazard model was utilized to perform primary analyses of the relationship between PEF and sarcopenia. The mediating effect of cognitive function was evaluated using the counterfactual mediation method. RESULTS This cohort study included 4,011 older adults (average age, 66.6 years; 53.3% males). During a follow-up period of 3.86 years, 349 individuals were diagnosed with sarcopenia. After adjusting for potential confounders, each one-standard-deviation increase in PEF was associated with a 28% reduction in the risk of sarcopenia (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.63, 0.80). There was a significant mediation of cognition for the association between PEF and incident sarcopenia, and the proportion mediated was 12.2% (95% CI: 4.5%, 23.1%). CONCLUSIONS Older adults with impaired lung function are more likely to develop sarcopenia. Nevertheless, cognition can explain only a small portion of this association. Thus, other potential pathways between lung function and sarcopenia must be elucidated.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationship between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), a new body index, and sarcopenia, while also assessing the potential of WWI as a tool for screening sarcopenic patients. The cross-sectional study involved adults who possessed complete data on WWI and appendicular skeletal muscle mass from the 1999-2006 and 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Weighted multivariate regression and logistic regression analyses were employed to explore the independent relationship between WWI and sarcopenia. The study included 26,782 participants. The results showed that WWI demonstrated a positive correlation with sarcopenia risk. In the fully adjusted model, with each 1 unit increase in WWI, the risk of developing sarcopenia rose 14.55 times higher among males (OR: 14.55, 95% CI 12.33, 17.15) and 2.86 times higher among females (OR: 2.86, 95% CI 2.59, 3.15). The optimal cutoff values of WWI for sarcopenia were 11.26 cm/√kg for males and 11.39 cm/√kg for females. Individuals with a higher WWI have an increased risk of developing sarcopenia, and a high WWI functions as a risk factor for sarcopenia. Assessing WWI could assist in identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia.

BACKGROUND Having higher muscle mass in early adulthood is an important factor in preventing sarcopenia. However, university students undergo lifestyle changes compared to their high school years, which may lead to changes in body composition, such as an increase in body fat and a decrease in muscle mass. The study aimed to investigate the association between body composition and lifestyle behaviors, including chronotype, among Japanese female university students, due to the prevalence of underweight among young females in the country. METHODS The physical activity level (PAL), daily dietary intake status, morningness-eveningness questionnaire (MEQ) score, and body composition of 230 students were assessed in this cross-sectional study. Body composition was measured using a multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer, and body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (%BF), and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) were determined. RESULTS Individuals who were evening type (ET) had a higher %BF and lower SMI than those who were non-ET, but no differences in body weight or BMI were found. Although ET individuals had lower total energy intake, protein intake, and PALs than non-ETs, the differences were small. However, multiple regression analyses showed that SMI was significantly positively associated with MEQ and PAL, and %BF was significantly negatively associated with MEQ and PAL. CONCLUSION These results suggest that female university students with lateness of chronotype and low physical activity have a body composition imbalance resulting in higher body fat and lower muscle mass. Therefore, young females may need to take chronotype-specific measures (especially ET individuals) to help them maintain an appropriate body composition.

Nefrologia 2024; 44:323-330.

Abstract
Sarcopenia and dynapenia are two terms associated with ageing that respectively define the loss of muscle mass and strength. In 2018, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) introduced the EWGSOP2 diagnostic algorithm for sarcopenia, which integrates both concepts. It consists of 4 sequential steps: screening for sarcopenia, examination of muscle strength, assessment of muscle mass and physical performance; depending on these last 3 aspects sarcopenia is categorised as probable, confirmed, and severe respectively. In the absence of validation of the EWGSOP2 algorithm in various clinical contexts, its use in haemodialysis poses several limitations: (a) low sensitivity of the screening, (b) the techniques that assess muscle mass are not very accessible, reliable, or safe in routine clinical care, (c) the sequential use of the magnitudes that assess dynapenia and muscle mass do not seem to adequately reflect the muscular pathology of the elderly person on dialysis. We reflect on the definition of sarcopenia and the use of more precise terms such as "myopenia" (replacing the classic concept of sarcopenia to designate loss of muscle mass), dynapenia and kratopenia. Prospective evaluation of EWGSOP2 and its comparison with alternatives (i.e. assessment of kratopenia and dynapenia only; steps 2 and 4) is proposed in terms of its applicability in clinical routine, resource consumption, identification of at-risk individuals and impact on events.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the impact of sarcopenia and lumbar paraspinal muscle composition (PMC) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after lumbar fusion surgery with 12-month follow-up (12 M-FU). METHODS A prospective investigation of patients undergoing elective lumbar fusion was conducted. Preoperative MRI-based evaluation of the cross-sectional area (CSA), the functional CSA (fCSA), and the fat infiltration(FI) of the posterior paraspinal muscles (PPM) and the psoas muscle at level L3 was performed. Sarcopenia was defined by the psoas muscle index (PMI) at L3 (CSAPsoas [cm2]/(patients' height [m])2). PROs included Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), 12-item Short Form Healthy Survey with Physical (PCS-12) and Mental Component Scores (MCS-12) and Numerical Rating Scale back and leg (NRS-L) pain before surgery and 12 months postoperatively. Univariate and multivariable regression determined associations among sarcopenia, PMC and PROs. RESULTS 135 patients (52.6% female, 62.1 years, BMI 29.1 kg/m2) were analyzed. The univariate analysis demonstrated that a higher FI (PPM) was associated with worse ODI outcomes at 12 M-FU in males. Sarcopenia (PMI) and higher FI (PPM) were associated with worse ODI and MCS-12 at 12 M-FU in females. Sarcopenia and higher FI of the PPM are associated with worse PCS-12 and more leg pain in females. In the multivariable analysis, a higher preoperative FI of the PPM (β = 0.442; p = 0.012) and lower FI of the psoas (β = -0.439; p = 0.029) were associated with a worse ODI at 12 M-FU after adjusting for covariates. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative FI of the psoas and the PPM are associated with worse ODI outcomes one year after lumbar fusion. Sarcopenia is associated with worse ODI, PCS-12 and NRS-L in females, but not males. Considering sex differences, PMI and FI of the PPM might be used to counsel patients on their expectations for health-related quality of life after lumbar fusion.

Abstract
A decline in function and loss of mass, a condition known as sarcopenia, is observed in the skeletal muscles with aging. Sarcopenia has a negative effect on the quality of life of elderly. Individuals with sarcopenia are at particular risk for adverse outcomes, such as reduced mobility, fall-related injuries, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although the pathogenesis of sarcopenia is multifaceted, mitochondrial dysfunction is regarded as a major contributor for muscle aging. Hence, the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies to improve mitochondrial function during aging is imperative for sarcopenia treatment. However, effective and specific drugs that can be used for the treatment are not yet approved. Instead studies on the relationship between food intake and muscle aging have suggested that nutritional intake or dietary control could be an alternative approach for the amelioration of muscle aging. This narrative review approaches various nutritional components and diets as a treatment for sarcopenia by modulating mitochondrial homeostasis and improving mitochondria. Age-related changes in mitochondrial function and the molecular mechanisms that help improve mitochondrial homeostasis are discussed, and the nutritional components and diet that modulate these molecular mechanisms are addressed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Image-based sarcopenia has been the subject of recent studies, hypothesized as a prognostic factor for patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. METHODS AND MATERIALS We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis of patients who underwent complex endovascular repair for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms between 2008 and 2016. CT image assessment was performed and patients were classified as sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic using two stratification methods: skeletal mass index (SMI) and total psoas muscle index (TPMI). According to sex, each patient was defined as sarcopenic if their SMI or TPMI was in the lowest third of the study group. The primary endpoint was impact of sarcopenia on perioperative mortality and long-term survival. Secondary endpoints were perioperative complications. RESULTS From a total of 155 patients, 135 were eligible for study. Overall, in-hospital mortality was 5.9% (8/135). The 30-day, 1-year, 3-year and 5-year mortality was 10.4% (14/135), 20% (27/135), 28.1% (38/135) and 31.1% (42/135), respectively. There was no difference in the long-term mortality rates between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic patients regardless of the stratification method used (p = 0.4 for SMI and p = 0.2 for TPMI). According to SMI, 30-day mortality of sarcopenic patients was significantly lower in comparison to non-sarcopenic patients (1/45, 2.2% vs. 13/90, 14.4%, p = 0.028). Based on the total psoas muscle index, sarcopenic patients were at higher risk for development of pulmonary complications in comparison to non-sarcopenic patients postoperatively (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Using SMI and TPMI, sarcopenia was not associated with reduced long-term survival in patients undergoing complex endovascular repair for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been proposed as a new term for diagnosing fatty liver disease, which is considered to be a multi-systemic disease with multiple extrahepatic manifestations, including sarcopenia. The link between sarcopenia and MAFLD remains uncertain, especially among young and middle-aged adults. Thus, we examined the relationship between MAFLD and sarcopenia in young and middle-aged individuals in this study. METHODS A total of 2214 individuals with laboratory tests, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and ultrasound transient elastography from NHANES 2017-2018 were selected for this study. MAFLD was diagnosed as fatty liver disease with any one of the situations: overweight/obesity, diabetes mellitus, presence of metabolic dysregulation. Sarcopenia was defined by appendicular lean mass adjusted for body mass index (BMI). Multivariable logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) model were applied to explore the relationship between MAFLD and sarcopenia, and the mediation analyses were also conducted. Moreover, subgroup analyses stratified by BMI and lifestyles were done. RESULTS The prevalence of MAFLD was 47.85%, and nearly 8.05% of participants had sarcopenia. The prevalence of sarcopenia was higher in participants with MAFLD (12.75%; 95% CI 10.18-15.31%) than in the non-MAFLD (3.73%; 95% CI 2.16-5.31%). MAFLD was significantly positively associated with sarcopenia after adjustments [OR = 2.87 (95% CI: 1.62-5.09)]. Moreover, significant positive associations were observed between liver fibrosis and sarcopenia prevalence in MAFLD patients (OR = 2.16; 95% CI 1.13-4.15). The RCS curve revealed that MAFLD was linearly associated with sarcopenia. The relationship between the MAFLD and sarcopenia were mediated by C-reactive protein (mediation proportion: 15.9%) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (mediation proportion: 18.9%). Subgroup analyses confirmed the association between MAFLD and sarcopenia differed in different lifestyle groups. CONCLUSIONS Both MAFLD prevalence and severity was significantly associated with sarcopenia. Thus, clinicians should advise comorbidity screening and lifestyle changes to young and middle-aged patients.

Abstract
This study aimed to characterize a Sideritis scardica extract (SidTea+TM) and investigate its effect on the physiological profile, metabolic health and redox status in healthy individuals. The chemical profile and antioxidant potential of the SidTea+TM extract were evaluated by UPLC-HRMS analysis and in vitro cell-free methods. Twenty-eight healthy adults participated in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Participants consumed 1500 mg/day of SidTea+TM or a placebo for 4 weeks. At baseline and post-supplementation, participants were assessed for their anthropometric and physiological profile and provided a resting blood sample. SidTea+TM decreased (p < 0.05) systolic blood pressure (-10.8 mmHg), mean arterial pressure (-4.5 mmHg), resting heart rate (-3.1 bpm) and handgrip strength of the non-dominant limb (-0.8 kg) whereas the placebo decreased (p < 0.05) handgrip strength of the dominant (-5.8 kg) and non-dominant (-3.2 kg) limb. SidTea+TM also resulted in an increase (p < 0.05) in estimated VO2max (+1.1 mL/kg/min) and a reduction (p < 0.05) in γ-GT and SGPT enzymatic activity in serum (-3.7 and -3.3 U/L, respectively). Finally, SidTea+TM increased (p < 0.001) total antioxidant capacity and decreased (p < 0.05) lipid peroxidation levels in plasma. These results indicate that SidTea+TM is a potent and safe to use antioxidant that can elicit positive changes in indices of blood pressure, cardiorespiratory capacity, liver metabolism, and redox status in healthy adults over a 4-week supplementation period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Low muscle mass is related to cardiovascular risk factors. This study aimed to investigate whether relative low muscle mass is related to the diameter and tortuosity of the aorta. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of 208 adults without known cardiovascular disease who underwent Computed Tomography (CT) enhanced scan between 2020 and 2021. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was estimated. The morphology of the aorta was measured by diameter and tortuosity using CT. We assessed the relationship between SMI and diameter and tortuosity of the aorta using Spearman correlation analysis and univariate and multivariate-adjusted regression models. RESULTS Of all -individuals, 124 (59.6%) were male. The average age was 60.13 ± 16.33 years old. SMI was inversely associated with the diameter and tortuosity of the aorta (p < 0.05). Specifically, in a multivariable-adjusted model adjusting for potential confounders, a one-unit increase in the SMI was associated with a -13.56mm(95% confidence intervals (CI): -18.16 to -8.96, p < 0.001), -7.93 mm (95% CI: -10.85 to -5.02, p < 0.001), -8.01 mm (95% CI: -11.30 to -4.73, p < 0.001), -5.16 mm (95% CI: -7.57 to -2.75, p < 0.001) and -2.73 mm (95% CI: -5.18 to -0.27, p = 0.031) increase in L1-L5 diameter respectively, a -0.89 (95% CI: -1.14 to -0.64, p < 0.001) increase in the aorta tortuosity, a -0.48 (95% CI: -0.59 to -0.36, p < 0.001) increase in the descending thoracic aorta tortuosity, and a -0.44 (95% CI: -0.52 to -0.35, p < 0.001) increase in the abdominal aorta tortuosity. CONCLUSIONS Relative muscle mass was negatively associated with the diameter and tortuosity of the aorta, suggesting muscle mass maintenance may play a role in preventing aortic morphological changes.

Abstract
Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a combination of obesity and sarcopenia, with diagnostic criteria defined as impaired skeletal muscle function and altered body composition (e.g., increased fat mass and reduced muscle mass). The mechanism of SO is not yet perfectly understood; however, the pathogenesis includes aging and its complications, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance (IR), and hormonal changes. Genetic background is apparent in the pathogenesis of isolated obesity, which is most often polygenic and is characterized by the additive effect of various genetic factors. The genetic etiology has not been strictly established in SO. Still, many data confirm the existence of pathogenic gene variants, e.g., Fat Mass and Obesity Associated Gene (FTO), beta-2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene, melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and others with obesity. The literature on the role of these genes is scarce, and their role has not yet been thoroughly established. On the other hand, the involvement of systemic inflammation due to increased adipose tissue in SO plays a significant role in its pathophysiology through the synthesis of various cytokines such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-1Ra, IL-15, adiponectin or CRP. The lack of anti-inflammatory cytokine (e.g., IL-15) can increase SO risk, but further studies are needed to evaluate the exact mechanisms of implications of various cytokines in SO individuals. This manuscript analyses various immunogenetic and non-genetic factors and summarizes the recent findings on immunogenetics potentially impacting SO development.

Wang S, Zhang Y, Zhang D, Wang F, Wei W, Wang Q, Bao Y, Yu K. Association of dietary fat intake with skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength in adults aged 20-59: NHANES 2011-2014. Front Nutr 2024; 10:1325821. [PMID: 38299186 PMCID: PMC10827989 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1325821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, needs to initially prevent in the twenties. Meanwhile, there is a lack of research on the effects of fat consumption on skeletal muscle mass and strength in adults aged 20-59. We aimed to assess associations between dietary fat intake and skeletal muscle mass, as measured by appendicular lean mass adjusted for body mass index (ALMBMI), and muscle strength, as represented by handgrip strength adjusted for body mass index (GSMAXBMI), among adults aged 20-59. Methods Dietary fat intake per kilogram of actual body weight was assessed using two 24h recalls, while ALM and GSMAX were measured using DXA and a handgrip dynamometer, respectively. A weighted multiple linear regression model was employed to analyze the association between dietary fat intake and skeletal muscle mass, utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning from 2011 to 2014. To assess the non-linear relationship and saturation value between dietary fat intake and skeletal muscle mass, a smooth curve fitting approach and a saturation effect analysis model were utilized. Results The study comprised a total of 5356 subjects. After adjusting for confounding factors, there was a positive association observed between dietary fat intake and ALMBMI as well as GSMAXBMI. The relationship between dietary fat intake and ALMBMI showed an inverted U-shaped curve, as did the association with GSMAXBMI. Turning points were observed at 1.88 g/kg/d for total fat intake and ALMBMI, as well as at 1.64 g/kg/d for total fat intake and GSMAXBMI. Furthermore, turning points were still evident when stratifying by gender, age, protein intake, and physical activity. The turning points were lower in individuals with low protein intake(<0.8 g/kg/d) and high levels of physical activity. Conclusion The moderate dietary fat intake can be beneficial for muscle mass and strength in adults aged 20-59 under specific conditions. Special attention should be directed toward the consumption of fats in individuals with low protein intake and those engaged in high levels of physical activity.

Obes Facts 2024; 17:145-157. [PMID: 38224679 PMCID: PMC10987189 DOI: 10.1159/000536159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/17/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Longitudinal effect of diet-induced obesity on bone is uncertain. Prior work showed both no effect and a decrement in bone density or quality when obesity begins prior to skeletal maturity. We aimed to quantify long-term effects of obesity on bone and bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) in adulthood. METHODS Skeletally mature, female C57BL/6 mice (n = 70) aged 12 weeks were randomly allocated to low-fat diet (LFD; 10% kcal fat; n = 30) or high-fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal fat; n = 30), with analyses at 12, 15, 18, and 24 weeks (n = 10/group). Tibial microarchitecture was analyzed by µCT, and volumetric BMAT was quantified via 9.4T MRI/advanced image analysis. Histomorphometry of adipocytes and osteoclasts, and qPCR were performed. RESULTS Body weight and visceral white adipose tissue accumulated in response to HFD started in adulthood. Trabecular bone parameters declined with advancing experimental age. BV/TV declined 22% in LFD (p = 0.0001) and 17% in HFD (p = 0.0022) by 24 weeks. HFD failed to appreciably alter BV/TV and had negligible impact on other microarchitecture parameters. Both dietary intervention and age accounted for variance in BMAT, with regional differences: distal femoral BMAT was more responsive to diet, while proximal femoral BMAT was more attenuated by age. BMAT increased 60% in the distal metaphysis in HFD at 18 and 24 weeks (p = 0.0011). BMAT in the proximal femoral diaphysis, unchanged by diet, decreased 45% due to age (p = 0.0002). Marrow adipocyte size via histomorphometry supported MRI quantification. Osteoclast number did not differ between groups. Tibial qPCR showed attenuation of some adipose, metabolism, and bone genes. A regulator of fatty acid β-oxidation, cytochrome C (CYCS), was 500% more abundant in HFD bone (p < 0.0001; diet effect). CYCS also increased due to age, but to a lesser extent. HFD mildly increased OCN, TRAP, and SOST. CONCLUSIONS Long-term high fat feeding after skeletal maturity, despite upregulation of visceral adiposity, body weight, and BMAT, failed to attenuate bone microarchitecture. In adulthood, we found aging to be a more potent regulator of microarchitecture than diet-induced obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies reported that lifestyle, psychosocial characteristics, and sleep status related to sarcopenia, although few studies provided evidence of causal relationships between them. METHODS The data used in our study were from UK Biobank, FinnGen Release 8, and large genome-wide association study meta-analyses. Two-sample Mendelian randomization was conducted to identify the causal associations of 21 traits of lifestyle, psychosocial characteristics, and sleep status with 6 traits of sarcopenia. Benjamini-Hochberg correction was performed to reduce the bias caused by multiple tests. Risk factor analyses were performed to explore the potential mechanism behind the exposures. RESULTS Mendelian randomization analyses after adjustment proved the causal roles of coffee intake, education years, smoking, leisure screen time, and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity during leisure time in sarcopenia was proven although providing no significant evidence for causal roles for carbohydrates intake, protein intake, alcohol, and sleep status in sarcopenia. CONCLUSIONS Our results strongly support that coffee intake, education years, smoking, leisure screen time, and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity during leisure time played significantly causal roles in sarcopenia, which may provide new intervention strategies for preventing the development of sarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism published its first clinical guidelines for use of micronutrients (MNs) in 2022. A two-day web symposium was organized in November 2022 discussing how to apply the guidelines in clinical practice. The present paper reports the main findings of this symposium. METHODS Current evidence was discussed, the first day being devoted to clarifying the biology underlying the guidelines, especially regarding the definition of deficiency, the impact of inflammation, and the roles in antioxidant defences and immunity. The second day focused on clinical situations with high prevalence of MN depletion and deficiency. RESULTS The importance of the determination of MN status in patients at risk and diagnosis of deficiencies is still insufficiently perceived, considering the essential role of MNs in immune and antioxidant defences. Epidemiological data show that deficiencies of several MNs (iron, iodine, vitamin D) are a global problem that affects human health and well-being including immune responses such as to vaccination. Clinical conditions frequently associated with MN deficiencies were discussed including cancer, obesity with impact of bariatric surgery, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, critical illness, and aging. In all these conditions, MN deficiency is associated with worsening of outcomes. The recurrent problem of shortage of MN products, but also lack of individual MN-products is a worldwide problem. CONCLUSION Despite important progress in epidemiology and clinical nutrition, numerous gaps in practice persist. MN depletion and deficiency are frequently insufficiently searched for in clinical conditions, leading to inadequate treatment. The symposium concluded that more research and continued education are required to improve patient outcome.

Abstract
The concept of health span is an emerging topic in recent years, with a truly palpable relevance to public health. With ageing comes a loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and performance, which is termed as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is a major public health concern and poses a challenge to health-care systems. Modifiable lifestyle factors may be linked to the course of sarcopenia progression. Many countries developed diagnostic tools to accurately detect sarcopenia for its prevention, delay, or treatment. However, to date, there is no sufficient information regarding the status of sarcopenia in Saudi Arabia. The review aims to discuss sarcopenia and relevant updates in research and literature, the association with modifiable lifestyle factors, the implications of sarcopenia in a rapidly developing country such as Saudi Arabia, and the current state and need for research in Saudi Arabia in this domain along with future directions in combating this disease.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a skeletal muscle disease categorized by low muscle strength, muscle quantity or quality, and physical performance. Sarcopenia etiology is multifaceted, and while resistance training is widely agreed upon for prevention and treatment, disease progression is also highly related to poor diet. The incidence of sarcopenia appears sex-specific and may be increased in females, which is problematic because dietary quality is often altered later in life, particularly after menopause. Identifying effective nutrition or supplementation interventions could be an important strategy to delay sarcopenia and related comorbidities in this vulnerable population. This systematic review examined randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of nutrition strategies on muscle-related components of sarcopenia in middle-aged and older females. A protocol was registered (PROSPERO CRD42022382943) and a systematic search of MEDLINE and CINAHL was undertaken. RCTs from 2013 to 2023 that assessed nutrition-only interventions on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in female participants were included. Fourteen RCTs were included based on selection criteria. Study designs and interventions were heterogeneous in supplementation type and amount, age, and duration. Six RCTs reported beneficial effects of protein, Vitamin D, Vitamin D and Magnesium (Mg), and fish oil on muscle protein synthesis, muscle strength, and/or muscle function. Eight studies that examined various protein interventions, VitD alone, Mg alone, and dairy derivatives did not demonstrate any effect. Exercise appeared to modulate results in several studies. Nutrition interventions alone are likely to have a limited but positive effect on muscle-related components of sarcopenia in females. Current evidence suggests that a combination of dietary intervention and exercise is likely to be key to preventing and treating sarcopenia in middle aged and older females and there is a need for well-designed nutrition based studies in this population.

Abstract
Sarcopenia increases disability, hospital stays, readmissions, and mortality in older adults. Antioxidative nutrients and fatty acids consumption may help maintain muscle mass by reducing oxidative stress. This study aims to assess the association between antioxidant and fatty acid intake and low muscle mass in community-dwelling older people. This retrospective analysis used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 1999 to 2004. Participants ≥ 60 years with information on muscle mass measured by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were included. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass was assessed. Associations between antioxidants and fatty acids intake, and low muscle mass were evaluated using logistic regressions. 3648 (1748 men and 1900 women) were included. The prevalence of low muscle mass was 41% and 26% among men and women ≥ 75 years, and 45.2% and 28.4% among obese men and women. In obese males, a natural-log-unit increase of vitamin A (aOR = 0.806, 95% CI: 0.652-0.996), vitamin C (aOR = 0.878, 95% CI: 0.779-0.990), selenium intake (aOR = 0.716, 95% CI: 0.517-0.993), and higher saturated fatty acids (aOR = 0.956, 95% CI: 0.915-0.998) and monounsaturated fatty acids (aOR = 0.959, 95% CI: 0.925-0.994) intake were associated with decreased odds for low muscle mass. Among obese females, a natural-log-unit increase of vitamin E (P = .036), vitamin B12 (P = .014), total folate (P = .015), zinc (P = .005), and selenium intake (P = .018) were associated with increased odds of low muscle mass, whereas higher saturated fatty acids (P < .001), monounsaturated fatty acids (P = .001), and polyunsaturated fatty acids intake (P = .006) were associated with decreased odds for low muscle mass. Antioxidants (vitamin A, C, E, B6, B12, total folate, zinc, magnesium, selenium) intake does not consistently relate to low muscle mass across age and sex. Higher intake of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids are independently associated with reduced likelihood of low muscle mass in both obese older men and women.

Abstract
BACKGRUOUND The onset and progression of sarcopenia are highly variable among individuals owing to genetic and environmental factors. However, there are a limited number of studies measuring the heritability of muscle strength in large numbers of parent-adult offspring pairs. We aimed to investigate the familial correlation and heritability of hand grip strength (HGS) among Korean adults. METHODS This family-based cohort study on data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2014 to 2019) included 5,004 Koreans aged ≥19 years from 1,527 families. HGS was measured using a digital grip strength dynamometer. Familial correlations of HGS were calculated in different pairs of relatives. Variance component methods were used to estimate heritability. RESULTS The heritability estimate of HGS among Korean adults was 0.154 (standard error, 0.066). Correlation coefficient estimates for HGS between parent-offspring, sibling, and spouse pairs were significant at 0.07, 0.10, and 0.23 (P<0.001, P=0.041, and P<0.001, respectively). The total variance in the HGS phenotype was explained by additive genetic (15.4%), shared environmental (11.0%), and unique environmental (73.6%) influences. The odds of weak HGS significantly increased in the offspring of parents with weak HGS (odds ratio [OR], 1.69-3.10; P=0.027-0.038), especially in daughters (OR, 2.04-4.64; P=0.029-0.034). CONCLUSION HGS exhibits a familial correlation and significant heritable tendency in Korean adults. Therefore, Asian adults, especially women, who have parents with weak HGS, need to pay special attention to their muscle health with the help of healthy environmental stimuli.

Abstract
Background The degree of deterioration in sarcopenia parameters may be affected by a person's level of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB). Our study focused on examining the PA and SB of active older adults including those with and without history of sports in youth. Methods Forty-four participants (20 men and 24 women, mean age of total sample 76.1 ± 5.2 years) were included in analysis of PA, SB habits and sarcopenia parameters, determined by skeletal muscle index, hand-grip strength, gait speed, Timed Up and Go tests (TUG). PA and SB were recorded with accelerometers. Our primary aim was to compare participants with (AH) or without a sport history in youth (NAH), in their sarcopenia parameters and PA and SB habits. Results When divided participants in two groups (AH and NAH) and adjusting for age, we have detected the differences for skeletal muscle index (p = 0.007) and hand-grip strength (p = 0.004) in favor of participants who were engaged in sports in youth. We did not find any differences in PA and SB habits between the AH and NAH groups. After adjusting for age, participants with a higher number of daily steps, longer moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) bouts, a higher number of MVPA bouts in a day and higher overall MVPA engagement achieved better results in hand-grip strength and TUG. Participants with lower SB had better TUG and gait speed results. Conclusions Our findings suggest that engaging in sports activities in youth can make a difference with sarcopenia parameters. Although we found no differences in PA and SB habits between participants with AH and NAH, participants with an athlete history performed better results in sarcopenia parameters.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY As sepsis is a life-threatening disease, it is important to predict the prognosis in the early stages to establish treatment plans. This study aimed to investigate the association between sarcopenia, determined by the psoas muscle area, and the prognosis of sepsis due to acute cholecystitis. METHODS This retrospective single-center observational study included adult patients with sepsis due to acute cholecystitis who visited the emergency department between January 2016 and December 2021. The area of both sides of the psoas muscle at the L3 level was measured, and the psoas muscle index (PMI) corrected by the patient's height was calculated. Sarcopenia was determined based on PMI. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and secondary outcomes were intensive care unit (ICU) admission, length of hospital stay (LOS), and 14-day mortality. RESULTS A total of 374 patients were included in this study. In this cohort, the lower quartile of PMI according to gender was set as the cut-off value to define sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was defined as PMI < 423 mm2/m2 for males and < 269 mm2/m2 for females. There were 94 patients in the sarcopenic group and 280 in the non-sarcopenic group. There was a significant association between sarcopenia and ICU admission (odds ratio [OR], 1.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05-3.76), and there was also a significant association between sarcopenia and in-hospital mortality (OR, 6.40; 95%CI, 1.13-36.09). Additionally, the median LOS in the sarcopenic group (11.5 (Cruz-Jentoft et al., 2010; Kawaguchi et al., 2019; Kim et al., 2017; Ritz et al., 2021; Cox et al., 2021; Lee et al., 2018; Okada et al., 2021; Prashanthi et al., n.d.; Amini et al., 2015; Fearon et al., 2011) days) was significantly longer than the median (8 (Rosenberg, 1989, 1997; Cruz-Jentoft et al., 2010; Kawaguchi et al., 2019; Kim et al., 2017; Ritz et al., 2021) days) in the non-sarcopenic group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with sepsis due to acute cholecystitis, sarcopenia was significantly associated with ICU admission, LOS, and in-hospital mortality.

[PMID: 37929293 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2023.112322] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 10/15/2023] [Accepted: 10/26/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe sarcopenia may result in severe disability. Early diagnosis is currently the key to enhancing the treatment of sarcopenia, and there is an urgent need for a highly sensitive and dependable tool to evaluate the course of early sarcopenia in clinical practice. This study aims to investigate longitudinally the early diagnosability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based fat infiltration and blood flow perfusion technology in sarcopenia progression. METHODS 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into six groups that were based on different periods of dexamethasone (DEX) injection (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 days). Multimodal MRI was scanned to assess muscle mass. Grip strength and swimming exhaustion time of rats were measured to assess muscle strength and function. Immunofluorescence staining for CD31 was employed to assess skeletal muscle capillary formation, and western blot was used to detect vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and muscle ring finger-1 (MuRF-1) protein expression. Subsequently, we analyzed the correlation between imaging and histopathologic parameters. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness of quantitative MRI parameters for discriminating diagnosis in both pre- and post-modeling of DEX-induced sarcopenic rats. RESULTS Significant differences were found in PDFF, R2* and T2 values on day 2 of DEX-induction compared to the control group, occurring prior to the MRI-CSA values and limb grip strength on day 6 of induction and swimming exhaustion time on day 8 of induction. There is a strong correlation between MRI-CSA with HE-CSA values (r = 0.67; p < 0.001), oil red O (ORO) area with PDFF (r = 0.67; p < 0.001), microvascular density (MVD) (r = -0.79; p < 0.001) and VEGF-A (r = -0.73; p < 0.001) with R2*, MuRF-1 with MRI-CSA (r = -0.82; p < 0.001). The AUC of PDFF, R2*, and T2 values used for modeling evaluation are 0.81, 0.93, and 0.98, respectively. CONCLUSION Imaging parameters PDFF, R2*, and T2 can be used to sensitively evaluate early pathological changes in sarcopenia. The successful construction of a sarcopenia rat model can be assessed when PDFF exceeds 1.25, R2* exceeds 53.85, and T2 exceeds 33.88.

Abstract
Screening for malnutrition is of vital importance for solid organ transplant candidates to optimize nutrition status before transplant, to improve clinical outcomes and to inform selection committees of nutritional contraindications and risks. There are multiple criteria and screening tools available for determining malnutrition diagnosis and risk. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists use these tools for nutrition assessments to quantify the severity of malnutrition, provide patient-centered interventions, and monitor progression. Many transplant centers in the United States utilize the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Adult Malnutrition Criteria, though there is limited research using these criteria specifically in the transplant population. Malnutrition, utilizing other diagnostic and screening tools, has been associated with important complications, including longer length of hospital stay, increased mortality, decreased quality of life, worsened end-stage organ progression, and decreased functional status. Malnutrition typically results from sarcopenia and cachexia, and can ultimately lead to frailty, causing further negative impacts on transplant outcomes. This literature review summarizes the current research on malnutrition in solid organ transplant candidates and provides recommendations for future research and current practice implications.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a common skeletal muscle disorder characterized by a loss of muscle mass and impaired muscle function that is associated with poor health outcomes. Although nutrition is considered an important factor in the etiology of sarcopenia, the preventive potential of diet, specifically the extent to which differences in habitual patterns of diet and/or nutrient intakes impact risk of its development, is poorly understood. This narrative review considered research evidence on dietary patterns and nutrient intakes in mid- (<60 y) and young-older (60-70 y) adulthood to evaluate how they relate to age-related changes in muscle mass and function. A key finding was that current evidence on adult diet and sarcopenia risk in older age is limited and fragmented, with different outcomes reported across studies (for example, lean mass, strength) and few reporting links to incident diagnosed sarcopenia. As these outcomes are not interchangeable, it challenges collation of the evidence, leaving many gaps in understanding. There is also limited information about adult (<70 y) diet and few longitudinal studies with repeated dietary assessments to enable definition of cumulative exposures across adulthood. However, despite these limitations, findings from studies of dietary patterns already provide reasonably consistent messages about the benefits of diets of higher quality in earlier adulthood for later physical performance, although whole-diet intervention trials are urgently needed to understand their potential. In comparison, there is little evidence of benefits of higher intakes of individual nutrients in earlier adulthood for later muscle mass and function. Although these gaps need to be addressed in future research, there may already be sufficient data to promote messages about diet quality more widely - that healthier diets of higher quality across adulthood, with known benefits for a range of health outcomes, are also linked to the effective preservation of muscle mass and function.

Abstract
Background Low muscle mass/sarcopenia has been associated with poor prognosis in many diseases, but its clinical significance in pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between muscle mass and prognosis of patients with PLA. Methods A total of 154 adult patients with PLA hospitalized at Tongji Hospital (Wuhan, Hubei, China) between October 2011 and June 2021 were included in this retrospective analysis. Muscle-fat related indicators were measured by computed tomography (CT) images at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level. The data of patients between the sarcopenia group and non-sarcopenia group were compared. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed. Results The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was independently associated with adverse outcomes (95% CI [0.649-0.954], P = 0.015) of PLA in multivariate logistic regression analysis. This conclusion held true in sex-specific subgroup analysis. ROC analysis indicated that SMI may predict adverse outcomes in both male (area under the ROC curve [AUC], 0.718; cut-off, 52.59; P < 0.001) and female (AUC, 0.714; cut-off, 38.39; P = 0.017) patient populations. Conclusions Sarcopenia serves as an independent risk factor for poor prognosis in PLA and patients with sarcopenia may be more prone to adverse outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The single nutrient approach in nutrition research lacks the ability to account for synergistic relationships between dietary components. Current evidence suggests that diet quality, reflecting overall dietary intake, may influence muscle health. In a community-based observational study in Western Norway, we examined dietary patterns in relation to muscle mass and strength at age 67-70. METHODS The current analysis was conducted in men and women of The Hordaland Health Study (HUSK), who participated in both the second (HUSK2) and third study wave (HUSK3). Dietary patterns were extracted by principal component analysis (PCA) on food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) data. Individual dietary pattern scores (DPS) for HUSK2 (age 46-49) and HUSK3 (age 67-70), and overall DPS (oDPS) were calculated. Outcome variables were appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) and handgrip strength (HGS) measured in HUSK3. The relationships of HUSK3 DPS and oDPS with ASMM and HGS were assessed by multivariate linear regression analysis adjusted for potential confounding factors. RESULTS We identified three distinct dietary patterns, labelled 'Western', 'Healthy', and 'Sweets-focused'. A significant positive association was observed between the oDPS for the 'Healthy' dietary pattern and ASMM in both men and women at age 67-70. No significant associations were found between HUSK3 DPS or oDPS for any of the identified dietary patterns and HGS in our population. CONCLUSION Higher oDPS on a dietary pattern predominantly rich in fish, vegetables, nuts and seeds, fruit and berries, and eggs was associated with better ASMM at age 67-70. To establish the influence of diet quality on muscle health, further long-term studies with repeated dietary assessments are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify the association between preoperative low muscle mass and early postoperative outcomes in pediatric patients undergoing total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING A single university hospital in Seoul, South Korea. PARTICIPANTS Pediatric patients (≤3 years) who underwent total correction of TOF between May 2008 and February 2018. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Cross-sectional areas of the pectoralis and erector spinae muscles were measured using preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scans, and adjusted to body surface area to define muscle mass index. The patients were divided into sarcopenia, presarcopenia, and no sarcopenia groups based on cutoff values determined using the mean and SD of the muscle mass index in the third z-weight quintile. Of a total of 330 patients included in the final analysis, 13 were associated with the sarcopenia group, 57 in the presarcopenia group, and 260 in the no sarcopenia group. The sarcopenia group exhibited a higher incidence of major adverse events than the presarcopenia and no sarcopenia groups, respectively (38% v 25% v 18%; p = 0.033). Logistic regression analyses revealed that only younger age at the time of surgery was significantly associated with major adverse events (odds ratio 0.82; 95% CI 0.72-0.94, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of sarcopenia, as assessed by preoperative chest CT, was low in pediatric patients undergoing total correction of TOF, and preoperative sarcopenia did not predict early postoperative major adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In elderly patients with fractures, sarcopenia impairs recovery and even increases mortality. Both orthopedic and geriatric professionals are at the forefront of treating sarcopenic patients with fractures. However, it is not clear to what extent they have knowledge and skills to diagnose and treat sarcopenia. AIMS This study aimed to analyze and compare knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding sarcopenia between orthopedic and geriatric professionals. METHODS An online cross-sectional survey was conducted in June 2022 targeting professionals in orthopedic and geriatric departments in two largest tertiary general hospitals in Taizhou, southeastern China. Results on knowledge, attitude, and practice of sarcopenia were analyzed. Variables with significance were then included in a stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 220 professionals, 176 from orthopedic departments and 44 from geriatric departments, participated in this study. Orthopedic professionals scored lower than geriatrics in knowledge, attitude and practice (P < 0.001). The attitude score was high in both orthopedic and geriatric professionals. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that participants who had contact with sarcopenia patients had higher knowledge score (β = 1.941, P < 0.001); participants who had attended sarcopenia training in the past 6 months (β = 4.305, P < 0.001) had higher practice score. DISCUSSION Orthopedic professionals have deficiencies in the screening and diagnosis of sarcopenia. Improving the knowledge and training of professionals can strengthen practice. It is necessary to formulate diagnostic criteria and improve practice of sarcopenia through training. CONCLUSION Orthopedic professionals had limited knowledge and practice regarding sarcopenia compared with geriatric professionals. To improve sarcopenia practice, the use of diagnostic tools to formally diagnose sarcopenia and regular training on sarcopenia should be encouraged.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sarcopenic obesity (SarcO) is defined as the confluence of reduced muscle mass and function and excess body fat. The scientific community is increasingly recognizing this syndrome, which affects a subgroup of persons across their lifespans and places them at synergistically higher risk of significant medical comorbidity and disability than either sarcopenia or obesity alone. Joint efforts in clinical and research settings are imperative to better understand this syndrome and drive the development of urgently needed future interventions. AREAS COVERED Herein, we describe the ongoing challenges in defining sarcopenic obesity and the current state of the science regarding its epidemiology and relationship with adverse events. The field has demonstrated an emergence of data over the past decade which we will summarize in this article. While the etiology of sarcopenic obesity is complex, we present data on the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms that are hypothesized to promote its development, including age-related changes in body composition, hormonal changes, chronic inflammation, and genetic predisposition. EXPERT OPINION We describe emerging areas of future research that will likely be needed to advance this nascent field, including changes in clinical infrastructure, an enhanced understanding of the lifecourse, and potential treatments.

Abstract
Objectives This study was designed to investigate the effects of a completely passive isokinetic cycle (PIC) exercise with electromyostimulation (EMS) on improving muscle strength and the changes in kinesthesia during daily activities. Methods Twenty-nine sedentary females were divided into three groups. The EMS anterior and whole groups performed the PIC exercise without EMS 3 times a week for 3 weeks, followed by a 1-week break, and then performed it with EMS applied to the anterior and entire thigh muscles, respectively, 3 times a week for 3 weeks. The control group did not perform any training. Results The PIC exercise with EMS significantly increased the 30s chair stand test scores by 12-16% and the maximum isometric knee extension and flexion torques by 38-68% in both EMS-applied groups. The participants found its exercise easy and felt more comfortable with daily physical activities. The exercise without EMS did not show similar improvements. Muscle soreness was significantly greater in the EMS anterior group than in the EMS whole group; however, it was not severe. Conclusions The PIC exercise with EMS resulted in significant increases in muscle strength, facilitating a perceived ease of daily physical activities, while minimizing difficulties, effort, and notable muscle soreness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited research has examined the clinical consequences of sarcopenia and myosteatosis in Crohn's disease. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and effects of sarcopenia and myosteatosis on prognostic outcomes in Crohn's disease patients who underwent magnetic resonance enterography. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective observational study included 116 Crohn's disease patients who underwent magnetic resonance enterography between January 2015 and August 2021. Skeletal muscle index was the ratio of the cross-sectional area of skeletal muscles at the L3 vertebral level to the square of the neck in cross-sectional imaging. Sarcopenia was defined as skeletal muscle index <38.5 cm2/m2 in women and <52.4 cm2/m2 in men. Myosteatosis was considered positive if the ratio of the mean signal intensity of the psoas muscle to the mean signal intensity of the cerebrospinal fluid was above 0.107. RESULTS Among the negative results in the post-procedure follow-up of the patients, a significant increase was observed in the sarcopenia group regarding abscess and the need for surgery (P < .05). Anti-tumor necrosis factor initiation was found to be significantly higher in the follow-up than in patients without myosteatosis (P = .029). In the multivariate model established with these variables, the presence of sarcopenia in the surgical follow-up was odds ratio = 5.34 (CI: 1.02-28.03, P = .047) and was found to be significantly associated with the increased risk. CONCLUSIONS The presence of myosteatosis and sarcopenia detected in magnetic resonance enterography may be a harbinger of negative outcomes in Crohn's disease patients. Nutritional support should be provided to these patients with the potential to alter the course of the disease.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a geriatric condition characterized by a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes (e.g., falls, disability, institutionalization, reduced quality of life, mortality). Pharmacological remedies are currently unavailable for preventing the development of sarcopenia, halting its progression, or impeding its negative health outcomes. The most effective strategies to contrast sarcopenia rely on the adoption of healthier lifestyle behaviors, including adherence to high-quality diets and regular physical activity. In this review, the role of nutrition in the prevention and management of sarcopenia is summarized. Special attention is given to current "blockbuster" dietary regimes and agents used to counteract age-related muscle wasting, together with their putative mechanisms of action. Issues related to the design and implementation of effective nutritional strategies are discussed, with a focus on unanswered questions on the most appropriate timing of nutritional interventions to preserve muscle health and function into old age. A brief description is also provided on new technologies that can facilitate the development and implementation of personalized nutrition plans to contrast sarcopenia.

Abstract
Aging is characterized by the gradual deterioration of function at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and organism levels in humans. The typical diseases caused by changes in body composition, as well as functional decline in the human body’s organs due to aging include sarcopenia and metabolic disorders. The accumulation of dysfunctional aging β cells with age can cause decreased glucose tolerance and diabetes. Muscle decline has a multifactorial origin, involving lifestyle habits, disease triggers, and age-dependent biological changes. The reduced function of β cells in elderly people lowers insulin sensitivity, which affects protein synthesis and interferes with muscle synthesis. The functional decrease and aggravation of disease in elderly people with less regular exercise or physical activity causes imbalances in food intake and a continuous, vicious cycle. In contrast, resistance exercise increases the function of β cells and protein synthesis in elderly people. In this review, we discuss regular physical activities or exercises to prevent and improve health, which is sarcopenia as decreased muscle mass and metabolic disorders as diabetes in the elderly.

Abstract
Muscle loss is consistently associated with immobility and paralysis and triggers significant metabolic and functional changes. The negative effects of sarcopenia are amplified in children who are in the process of building their muscle mass as part of development. Because muscle mass loss is consistently associated with increased morbidity and mortality throughout life, optimizing the size and health of muscles following a neurologic injury is an objective target for therapeutic interventions. This review hypothesizes that muscle mass correlates with functional outcomes in children with paralysis related to spinal cord-related neurologic deficits. We propose that the measurement of muscle mass in this population can be used as an objective outcome for clinical long-term care. Finally, some practical clinical approaches to improving muscle mass are presented.
