[PMID: 39305952 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.09.010] [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: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 09/12/2024] [Indexed: 10/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this research was to evaluate the differential relationships between various BIA-estimated compartments of body water and strength, among healthy older adults, by age range and sex. DESIGN Descriptive and correlational study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 234 healthy older adults (72.59 ± 7.60 years) participated in the study. Participants were recruited from community centers around Portugal and Spain. Data were recorded during May 2023. This is a physically active sample: all the participants are physically active for a minimum of three days a week. METHODS For the study of body composition the variables extracted from the Tanita were: fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM), visceral fat rating (VFR), total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW). Handgrip Strength was used to evaluate upper body strength and the Chair Stand Test for lower body strength. RESULTS Differences across the various data sets were recorded in the gender variable. When looking into the gender variable, significant correlations were recorded for the body composition variables analyzed for all age groups in the upper body strength test, except for BMI(r = .125-.878) and Fat mass (.056 to -.634). For the lower body strength test, no significant correlations were recorded for the Fat-Free mass variables (r = .164-.380), as well as for the Visceral Fat Rating(r = .082-.213) and the body water variables (TBW, ECW, ICW). CONCLUSIONS The hydration parameters analyzed can be related to muscle performance for Handgrip in an independent older adult population with ages ranging from 60 to 90 years.

Physical activity and fiber intake beneficial for muscle mass and strength preservation during aging: A comprehensive cross-sectional study in the UK biobank cohort. Exp Gerontol 2024; 193:112474. [PMID: 38815706 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2024.112474] [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: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging triggers intricate physiological changes, particularly in whole-body fat-free mass (FFM) and handgrip strength, affecting overall health and independence. Despite existing research, the broader significance of how muscle health is affected by the intricate interplay of lifestyle factors simultaneously during aging needs more exploration. This study aims to examine how nutrition, physical activity, and sleep impact on FFM and handgrip strength in middle-aged men and women, facilitating future personalized recommendations for preserving muscle health. METHODS The cross-sectional analysis of the UK Biobank involved 45,984 individuals (54 % women) aged 40-70 years with a complete dataset. Multiple linear regression explored determinants of FFM and handgrip strength, considering traditional, socio-demographics, medication use and smoking as covariates, with sex and age (younger and older than 55 years) stratifications. RESULTS In older men and women, higher physical activity beneficially affect both FFM (respectively Β = 3.36 × 10-3, p-value = 1.66 × 10-3; Β = 2.52 × 10-3, p-value = 3.57 × 10-4) and handgrip strength (Β = 6.05 × 10-3, p-value = 7.99 × 10-5, Β = 8.98 × 10-3, p-value = 2.95 × 10-15). Similar results were found in fiber intake for FFM in older men and women (respectively B = 3.00 × 10-2, p-value = 2.76 × 10-5; B = 2.68 × 10-2, p-value = 1.78 × 10-9) and handgrip strength (Β = 3.27 × 10-2, p-value = 1.40 × 10-3; Β = 3.12 × 10-2, p-value = 1.34 × 10-5). Other lifestyle factors influence FFM and handgrip strength differently. Key determinants influencing handgrip strength included higher protein intake, lower water intake, higher alcohol intake, and extended sleep duration whereas mainly higher water intake is associated with higher FFM. CONCLUSIONS In both men and women, the main factors associated with FFM and handgrip strength are physical activity and fiber intake, which may underlie a connection between gut and muscle health. Given the observed complexity of muscle health in the age and sex strata, further longitudinal research is needed to provide personalized lifestyle recommendations.

Abstract
The relationship between tinnitus and body composition in specific regions has not been extensively investigated. This study aimed to identify associations between tinnitus and body composition. Individuals with data on physical and otological examination findings, and bioelectrical impedance analysis were included from the ninth Korea National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey. They were divided into a tinnitus group and a non-tinnitus group. Participants with tinnitus were further classified into acute or chronic tinnitus group. The tinnitus group showed significantly higher body fat percentages in each region (arms: P = 0.014; legs: P = 0.029; trunk: P = 0.008; whole body: P = 0.010) and waist circumference (P = 0.007) than the non-tinnitus group, and exhibited lower leg muscle percentage (P = 0.038), total body fluid percentage (P = 0.010), and intracellular fluid percentage (P = 0.009) than the non-tinnitus group in men. Furthermore, men with chronic tinnitus showed a significantly higher trunk fat percentage (P = 0.015) and waist circumference (P = 0.043), and lower intracellular fluid percentage (P = 0.042) than their counterparts without tinnitus. No significant differences in body composition were observed among the groups in the female population. In men, body composition may be associated with tinnitus.

Abstract
Objective To investigate and compare the differences between the incidence of falls, balance and living environment among older persons in urban villages and other types of residential areas. Methods We surveyed 580 older adults living in different types of residential areas in Shantou, China, surveying basic information, fall incidence, balance ability testing of older persons, home environment safety assessment. Results The incidence of falls among older people in urban villages (19.54 %) was between urban areas(26.63 %) and rural areas(16.91 %). The influencing factors of falls in different residential types were different. Near-fall, abnormal bowel movement, and impaired balance ability were the risk factors of falls among older persons in urban villages. Divorce/single, fair and poor hearing loss and near-fall were the risk factors of falls in urban older adults. Frailty and impaired balance ability were the risk factors of falls in rural older people. Conclusions Risk factors for falls in older people vary according to the characteristics of their living areas and relevant interventions should be targeted according to the characteristics of falls occurring in different residential areas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Elastic band resistance training in elderly individuals can improve physical fitness and promote mental health in addition to other benefits. This systematic review aimed to review, summarize, and evaluate quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methodological studies on the use of elastic band resistance training in elderly individuals, and to investigate the influence of elastic band resistance training on the physical and mental health of elderly individuals, as well as their preferences and obstacles in training. METHODS A convergent separation approach was used to synthesize and integrate the results, specifically the mixed systematic review approach recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The extensive search strategy included electronic database searches in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, MEDLINE, and CINAHL. The researchers rigorously screened the literature, extracted and analyzed the data, and evaluated the quality of the included studies using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). RESULTS Twenty-eight studies were included, of which 25 were quantitative studies, 2 were qualitative studies, and 1 was a mixed-methods study. A total of 1,697 subjects were investigated across all studies. Quantitative evidence supports the notion that elastic band resistance training can improve upper and lower limb flexibility, endurance, upper strength, physical balance, and cardiopulmonary function and enhance the mental health of elderly individuals. Participants in the qualitative study reported some preferences and obstacles with band resistance training, but most participants reported physical benefits. CONCLUSIONS Despite the heterogeneity between studies, this review is the first systematic review to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of elastic band resistance training in older adults. It not only shows the influence of elastic band resistance training on the physical and mental health of the elderly, but also emphasizes the preference and obstacles of elderly individuals face.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) across patient phenotypes may differ. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanics and neurophysiology of swallowing between healthy volunteers (HVs) and patients with dysphagia as a consequence of aging (OOD), post-stroke (PSOD), Parkinson's disease (POD), or dementia (DOD). A retrospective study including 35 HVs and 109 OOD, 195 PSOD, 78 POD, and 143 DOD patients was performed. Videofluoroscopic data of signs of impaired efficacy and safety, penetration-aspiration scale (PAS) score, and the biomechanics of laryngeal vestibule closure (LVC) and opening (LVO) and of upper esophageal sphincter opening (UESO) were collected. Neurophysiology was assessed with pharyngeal sensory evoked potentials and neurotopography maps. All OD phenotypes showed signs of impaired efficacy and safety of swallowing, increased PAS score (p < 0.001), and delayed time to LVC (p < 0.0001). OOD (p < 0.0001), PSOD (p < 0.0001), and POD (p = 0.0065) patients also had delayed time to LVO, and OOD (p = 0.0062) and DOD (p = 0.0016) patients to UESO. Regarding neurophysiology, all phenotypes presented impaired pharyngeal sensitivity, a significant reduction in cortical activation, and impaired sensory input integration. Additionally, only PSOD was associated with impaired conduction of sensory stimuli. In conclusion, we found common but also specific pathophysiological elements. These results improve our understanding of OD pathophysiology and may help pave the way for phenotype-specific treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The physiopathology of sarcopenia is still not completely understood. AIM To assess the relationship between dehydration and skeletal muscle catabolism, muscle mass, and sarcopenia in an aged population. METHODS Observational cross-sectional study of community-dwelling subjects aged 70 years and older. Dehydration was assessed by plasma osmolarity; bioimpedance analysis (BIA) was used to assess body composition and water content; sarcopenia was established according to the EWGSOP-2 criteria; and 3-methyl-histidine (3MH) was used as an indicator of muscle catabolism. RESULTS 190 participants were recruited (77.4 years; 51.6% women). In total, 22.6% and 20.5% presented plasma osmolarity of 295-300 mOsm/L and >300 mOsm/L, respectively. Age was correlated with plasma osmolarity (rs = 0.439; p < 0.001). Plasma osmolarity was correlated with 3MH (rs = 0.360; p < 0.001) and showed an effect on 3MH levels, with an adjusted (by age, sex, and number of medications) beta of 0.283 (p < 0.001). BIA water content indicators showed no correlation with 3MH. Lower in sarcopenic compared to non-sarcopenic subjects were the intracellular water percentage (60.3 vs. 61.2%; p = 0.004) and intracellular water/free-fat mass ratio (44.3 vs. 45.0; p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Dehydration is a highly prevalent clinical condition in aged populations, increases with age, and is associated with muscle catabolism but not sarcopenia.

Therapeutic Effect on Swallowing Function and on Hydration Status of a New Liquid Gum-Based Thickener in Independently-Living Older Patients with Oropharyngeal Dysphagia. Nutrients 2023; 15:4621. [PMID: 37960274 PMCID: PMC10647578 DOI: 10.3390/nu15214621] [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: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
ThickenUp® Gel Express (TUGE) is a new, xanthan- and acacia-gum-based, liquid, thickening product. In independently living older adults with oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD), we assessed: (1) the rheological properties of TUGE; (2) its therapeutic effect at four viscosity levels (achieved by 5 g, 10 g, 20 g and 30 g of TUGE in water + Omnipaque X-ray contrast) versus thin liquid; and (3) the effect on hydration status and gastrointestinal tolerance after fourteen days. Shear viscosity of TUGE was measured in SI units (mPa·s at 50 s-1). The Penetration Aspiration Scale (PAS) score and the swallow response at each viscosity level was assessed with videofluoroscopy (VFS), and in the 14-day study we assessed fluid intake, hydration, and tolerance. Thickened fluids with TUGE were unaffected (-0.3%) by α-salivary amylase (α-SA). The shear viscosity values with VFS were 49.41 ± 2.38, 154.83 ± 10.22, 439.33 ± 11.72 and 672.5 ± 35.62 mPa·s. We studied 60 independently living adults (70 ± 11.4 years) with mild OD (PAS 4.1 ± 2.2, 25% aspirations). TUGE caused a shear-viscosity-dependent improvement in PAS at 150-670 mPa·s and in safety of swallow, slightly increased oral residue, did not affect pharyngeal residue and reduced time to laryngeal vestibule closure (-27%) at 670 mPa·s. Fluid intake with TUGE (1488 mL/day) was well tolerated, and hydration status improved. In conclusion, TUGE was unaffected by α-SA and strongly improved safety of swallow in a viscosity-dependent manner without affecting pharyngeal residue. Fourteen-day treatment of thickened fluids with TUGE is safe and well tolerated and improves hydration status in older adults with dysphagia.

Abstract
Objective Depression is a common psychiatric disorder and related to poor outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Previous studies have reported some associations between sarcopenia and depressive symptoms. Recently, intracellular water (ICW) and total body water (TBW) have been found to reflect muscle function and muscle mass. ICW/TBW ratio is a marker of sarcopenia that is simple to assess. However, the relationship between ICW/TBW ratio and depression has not been explored in MHD patients. Methods In our cross-sectional and multi-center study, 3300 adult MHD patients were included from June 1, 2021, to August 30, 2021. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). TBW and ICW were measured by Body Composition Monitor (BCM). Multivariable logistic regression, stratified analyses, and interactive analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between ICW/TBW ratio and depression. Results About 16.5% of the 3300 MHD patients were found to have depressive symptoms. The prevalence of depression increased with decreasing quartiles of ICW/TBW ratios, and decreased ICW/TBW ratio was independently associated with depression after adjusting for potential confounders. Patients in Quartile 1 of ICW/TBW ratios were more likely to have depressive symptoms (odds ratio 1.55, 95% confidence interval 1.07-2.22; p=0.002) than those in Quartile 4. History of diabetes and education status had interactive roles in the relationship between depression and ICW/TBW ratios (p < 0.05). The association of ICW/TBW ratios and depression existed in patients of both genders and different education levels, but only in non-diabetic patients. Conclusion In MHD patients, the decreased ratio of ICW/TBW was independently related to high depression rates.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the impact of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) and body water component (BWC) on the survival of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and whether the combined effect had a potential prognostic and predictive efficacy. We evaluated the accuracy of GNRI for malnutrition and estimated the predictive capacity of BWC for survival. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and cox regression analyses were used to examine the prognostic effects. A nutrition-water score (NWS) model was developed and evaluated the survival predictive power. GNRI and extracellular water-to-intracellular water ratio (ECW/ICW) were integrated, with the cut-off values of 103.5 and 63.7%. Lower GNRI and higher ECW/ICW were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in CRC patients. The combination of the two into the NWS model demonstrated a higher risk of death for patients with NWS ≥ 1 compared to those with NWS of 0. NWS showed a better predictive capability compared to GNRI and ECW/ICW, with the concordance index of 0.681. Our study demonstrates GNRI and ECW/ICW's prognostic utility in CRC, with their combination improving survival prediction to help guide patient-centered treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between intracellular water (ICW) and sarcopenic obesity in patients undergoing chronic haemodialysis (HD). METHODS A multicentre, cross-sectional study of 3354 adult chronic HD patients was conducted in 20 haemodialysis centres from June 1, 2021, to August 30, 2021. The diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity was made according to the revised Asian Working Group's definition of sarcopenia combined with obesity per the body fat percentage definition. Body composition was evaluated by a body composition monitor using bioimpedance spectroscopy. Multiple logistic regression models, stratified analyses, interactive analyses, and receiver-operating characteristic analyses were conducted. RESULTS A total of 752 patients were diagnosed with sarcopenic obesity among 3354 participants. The patients were grouped by sex-specific ICW median levels, and the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity was significantly higher in the low ICW group than in the high ICW group (41.3%vs 3.0%). Decreased ICW was significantly associated with sarcopenic obesity. The association remained statistically significant even after adjusting for dialysis vintage, age, body mass index, biochemical indicators, and various medical histories. The odds ratios of the low ICW group were much higher than those of the high ICW group in both males and females (P for trend < 0.001). The association was stable across subgroups, and the interaction analysis showed that age, body mass index and history of diabetes had interactive roles in the association between ICW and sarcopenic obesity (P for interaction < 0.05). Furthermore, the ICW cut-off values for identifying sarcopenic obesity were 19.1 kg and 14.5 kg for males and females, respectively. CONCLUSION Decreased ICW was an independent risk factor for sarcopenic obesity in chronic HD patients. The measurement of ICW by bioimpedance spectroscopy might be a non-invasive and valid means for identifying the risk of future sarcopenic obesity in HD patients.

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
Infections are important factors contributing to the morbidity and mortality among elderly patients. High rates of consumption of antimicrobial agents by the elderly may result in increased risk of toxic reactions, deteriorating functions of various organs and systems and leading to the prolongation of hospital stay, admission to the intensive care unit, disability, and lethal outcome. Both safety and efficacy of antibiotics are determined by the values of their plasma concentrations, widely affected by physiologic and pathologic age-related changes specific for the elderly population. Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are altered in different extents depending on functional and morphological changes in the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, liver, and kidneys. Water and fat content, skeletal muscle mass, nutritional status, use of concomitant drugs are other determinants of pharmacokinetics changes observed in the elderly. The choice of a proper dosing regimen is essential to provide effective and safe antibiotic therapy in terms of attainment of certain pharmacodynamic targets. The objective of this review is to perform a structure of evidence on the age-related changes contributing to the alteration of pharmacokinetic parameters in the elderly.

Association of appendicular extracellular-to-intracellular water ratio with age, muscle strength, and physical activity in 8,018 community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults. Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2023; 108:104931. [PMID: 36701946 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2023.104931] [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: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The appendicular extracellular-to-intracellular water ratio (Ap ECW/ICW) has recently gained attention as a non-invasive measurable marker of muscle quality. However, there is a lack of basic evidence regarding age-related changes, sex differences, contribution to muscle strength independent of skeletal muscle mass (SMM), and potential improvement through physical activity (PA) in Ap ECW/ICW. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 8,018 middle-aged and older Japanese individuals (aged 45-75 years). The Ap ECW/ICW and SMM were measured using segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. Muscle strength was evaluated by measuring the handgrip strength (HGS) with a dynamometer, and the PA level (PAL) was measured with an accelerometer. We performed a linear regression analysis of the associations of the Ap ECW/ICW with age, HGS, and PAL. RESULTS The Ap ECW/ICW increased by 0.019 for men and 0.014 for women per 5-year increase in age (p < 0.001), and the age-related increase was greater in men than in women (p for interaction <0.001). The Ap ECW/ICW was more strongly associated with the HGS than with the SMM in both men and women (p < 0.001). PAL showed a significant inverse association with the Ap ECW/ICW in both men and women (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Ap ECW/ICW is higher with age, and it varies by sex. The Ap ECW/ICW may reflect muscle strength more than the SMM, suggesting that the Ap ECW/ICW may be improved by PA. The findings from this study may provide a framework for further Ap ECW/ICW research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the association of whole-body composition and segmental bioimpedance variables with cold pattern (CP) in different sexes. METHODS We assigned 667 older individuals to a CP group (n = 488) and a non-CP group (n = 179) by using an eight-item self-administered questionnaire. Seven body composition variables and three pairs of segmental bioimpedance variables for the upper and lower extremities, which were obtained from a segmental multifrequency bioimpedance analyzer, were employed to investigate their association with CP. Participants' characteristics were first described. Then we compared the selected body composition and bioimpedance variables between the CP and non-CP groups. Finally, their association with CP was investigated using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. All analyses were performed separately for women and men. RESULTS Both women and men exhibited a comparable mean age in the CP and non-CP groups; however, women with CP had significantly lower blood pressures, whereas men with CP showed a higher proportion of osteoarthritis than those without CP. Compared with the non-CP group, individuals with CP exhibited significantly smaller body sizes indicated by shorter height and smaller weight, lower body mass index, and smaller volume-to-body surface area ratio in both sexes. After controlling for age, height, weight, and other covariates, we found significant reductions in body lean mass such as fat-free mass and body cell mass, basal metabolic rate per unit mass, total body water, and intra-to-extracellular water ratio in the CP group. With regard to segmental bioimpedance analysis, the resistance ratios and phase angles in the upper and lower extremities yield significant associations with CP incidence, as demonstrated by the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 1.72 (1.16-2.57), 1.69 (1.18-2.48), 0.60 (0.40-0.89), and 0.57 (0.39-0.82), respectively. However, these results did not emerge in men. CONCLUSION Abnormal cellular water distribution and deterioration in body cell mass and/or cell strength are associated with CP prevalence, regardless of age, height, weight. These findings are similar in the upper and lower extremities and are more pronounced in women. The abovementioned patterns may be considered effective indicators for identifying CP in the older adult population.

Association between systemic inflammation and water composition and survival in colorectal cancer. Front Oncol 2022; 12:896160. [PMID: 36353554 PMCID: PMC9638509 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.896160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Systemic inflammation and water composition are important factors affecting cancer prognosis. This study aimed to explore the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and intracellular water/total body water (ICW/TBW) ratio and overall survival (OS) in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods This multicenter, prospective cohort included 628 patients with CRC between June 2012 and December 2019. The association between the covariates and OS was assessed using a Cox proportional hazards model and restricted cubic spline models. Concordance index (C-index), which integrated discriminant improvement (IDI) index and continuous net reclassification index, (cNRI) was used to compare the predictive ability of the markers. Results The optimal cutoff values for the NLR and ICW/TBW ratio were 2.42 and 0.61, respectively. The NLR was negatively associated with OS, while the ICW/TBW ratio was positively correlated with OS. NLR ≥2.42 and ICW/TBW ratio <0.61 were both independent poor prognostic factors (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.44–2.88 and HR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.04–2.02, respectively). Subsequently, we combined the two factors to construct an inflammation-water score (IWS). Patients with IWS (2, ≥1) had worse OS (HR: 2.86 and 95% CI: 1.77–4.63; HR: 1.74 and 95% CI 1.17–2.57, respectively) than those without one. Compared to its component factors, IWS score showed better predictive ability for C-index, IDI index, and cNRI. Conclusion A high NLR and a low ICW/TBW ratio were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with CRC. The combination of the two factors can provide a better prognostic prediction effect.

Background To verify (1) the association between classic and specific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) with body composition, hydration, and physical performance in older adults with and without sarcopenia; (2) which BIVA most accurately distinguishes sarcopenia. Methods A sample of 94 older adults with and without sarcopenia (29 men and 65 women, 60–85 years) was evaluated. The classic and specific BIVA procedures, Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and deuterium dilution were performed. Sarcopenia was defined by muscle weakness and low skeletal muscle index, while severity was indicated by low physical performance. Results The BIVA's potential to monitor hydration and muscle mass loss in older adults seems feasible. Classic and specific BIVA were able to distinguish sarcopenia in women (p < 0.001), but not in men. When the sarcopenia criteria were individually analyzed, both classic and specific BIVA were able to distinguish low skeletal muscle index in women, while only classic BIVA did for men. For the criterion of slow physical performance, only the classic BIVA showed severity differences for women. The vectors of adults without sarcopenia of both sexes tended to be positioned in the left region of the ellipses, revealing a predominance of soft tissues. Conclusions Classic BIVA has a distinct sarcopenic association with body composition, hydration, and physical performance in older adults, while specific BIVA was similar between groups. Both BIVAs are sensible to detect female morphological changes (skeletal muscle index) but not for functional (handgrip, 6-min walk test) sarcopenia criteria. These procedures are promising tools for monitoring sarcopenia risks during aging.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between tongue factors (tongue strength and tongue volume), systemic factors (grip strength and walking speed), and the extracellular water/total body water ratio. METHODS This cross-sectional study included community-dwelling adults. Body water composition and skeletal muscle mass index were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Moreover, tongue grip strength, tongue volume, occlusal support condition (Eichner classification), and walking speed were measured. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the tongue and systemic factors as dependent variables and body water composition. RESULTS We included 171 community-dwelling adults (62 men and 109 women) aged 70.0 years (interquartile range: 8). Tongue strength (r=-0.22, p=0.004) and grip strength (r=-0.39, p<0.001) were correlated with the extracellular water/total body water ratio. In multiple linear regression analysis, tongue strength was associated with the extracellular water/total body water ratio (β=-0.20, p=0.034), and grip strength was associated with the extracellular water/total body water ratio (β=-0.12, p=0.047), sex, body mass index, skeletal muscle mass index, and occlusal support condition. CONCLUSIONS A higher extracellular water/total body water ratio indicates lower tongue and grip strength. Dentists and dental hygienists should be aware of systemic factors present in patients with lower tongue and grip strength. These findings may lead to further medical investigations and diagnosis of other systemic diseases.

Abstract
Objective To examine the changes in body composition, water compartment, and bioimpedance in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) individuals. Methods We obtained seven whole-body composition variables and seven pairs of segmental body composition, water compartment, and impedance variables for the upper and lower extremities from the segmental multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) of 939 elderly participants, including 673 cognitively normal (CN) people and 266 individuals with MCI. Participants’ characteristics, anthropometric information, and the selected BIA variables were described and statistically compared between the CN participants and those with MCI. The correlations between the selected BIA variables and neuropsychological tests such as the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination and Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery – Second Edition were also examined before and after controlling for age and sex. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses with estimated odds ratios (ORs) were conducted to investigate the associations between these BIA variables and MCI prevalence for different sexes. Results Participants with MCI were slightly older, more depressive, and had significantly poorer cognitive abilities when compared with the CN individuals. The partial correlations between the selected BIA variables and neuropsychological tests upon controlling for age and sex were not greatly significant. However, after accounting for age, sex, and the significant comorbidities, segmental lean mass, water volume, resistance, and reactance in the lower extremities were positively associated with MCI, with ORs [95% confidence interval (CI)] of 1.33 (1.02–1.71), 1.33 (1.03–1.72), 0.76 (0.62–0.92), and 0.79 (0.67–0.93), respectively; with presumably a shift of water from the intracellular area to extracellular space. After stratifying by sex, resistance and reactance in lower extremities remained significant only in the women group. Conclusion An increase in segmental water along with segmental lean mass and a decrease in body cell strength due to an abnormal cellular water distribution demonstrated by reductions in resistance and reactance are associated with MCI prevalence, which are more pronounced in the lower extremities and in women. These characteristic changes in BIA variables may be considered as an early sign of cognitive impairment in the elderly population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Body water measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) predicts the outcomes of many diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between body water and the prognosis of cancer patients with sarcopenia. METHODS This study employed 287 cancer patients with sarcopenia underwent BIA from a prospective multicenter study of patients with cancer in China from 2013 to 2020. The primary outcome of interest was all-cause mortality presented as the longest time to follow-up available. Eight indicators of body water [total body water, extracellular water, intracellular water, free fat mass, active cell mass, extracellular water/intracellular water, extracellular water/total body water (ECW/TBW), and intracellular water/total body water] were included in the research. Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) = neutrophil (× 109)/lymphocyte (× 109). The discriminatory ability and prediction accuracy of each factor were assessed using the C-index. The hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTS The median age was 65 years old, and 138 (48%) patients were men. During a mean follow-up of 46 months, 140 deaths were recorded, resulting in a rate of 204.6 events per 1000 patient-years. ECW/TBW showed the best predictive accuracy (C-index = 0.619) compared to the other indicators [p = 0.004, adjusted HR (95% CI) 1.70 (1.18,2.44)]. In the middle tertile (0.385-0.405), ECW/TBW had a strong independent negative association with patient survival [adjusted HR (95% CI) 2.88 (1.39-5.97), p = 0.004]. Patients who had a high ECW/TBW (ECW/TBW ≥ 0.395) combined with a high NLR had 3.84-fold risk of mortality (p < 0.001, 95% CI 1.99,7.38). CONCLUSIONS ECW/TBW was better than other indicators in predicting survival of cancer patients with sarcopenia. High ECW/TBW combined with high NLR would further increase the risk of mortality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pharmacokinetic exposure to gemcitabine and its metabolite, 2',2'-difluorodeoxyuridine (dFdU), might be altered in elderly compared to their younger counterparts. It is unknown if age-based dose adjustments are necessary to reduce the development of treatment-induced adverse events. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of age on the pharmacokinetics of gemcitabine and dFdU. METHODS Pharmacokinetic sampling following a flexible limited sampling strategy was performed in patients ≥ 70 years after gemcitabine infusion. The data were supplemented with pharmacokinetic data in patients included in four previously conducted clinical trials. Nonlinear mixed effects modelling was performed on the pooled dataset to assess the impact of age on the pharmacokinetics of gemcitabine and dFdU. RESULTS In total, pharmacokinetic data were available of 197 patients, of whom 83 patients were aged ≥ 70 years (42%). A two-compartment model for both gemcitabine and dFdU with linear clearances from the central compartments described the data best. Age, tested as continuous and categorical (< 70 years versus ≥ 70 years) covariate, did not statistically affect the pharmacokinetics of gemcitabine and dFdU. CONCLUSION Age was not of influence on the pharmacokinetics of gemcitabine or its metabolite, dFdU. Age-related dose adjustments for gemcitabine based on pharmacokinetic considerations are not recommended. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NL39647.048.12, registered on May 3rd 2012.

Abstract
(1) Background: There are few studies investigating the relationship between physical fitness and body composition in young adults and, to our knowledge, there are no such reports focusing specifically on physiotherapy students. This observational study aimed to assess the relationship between physical fitness and selected anthropometric measurements as well as body composition in Polish students in the first year and in the final year of a university course in physiotherapy. (2) Methods: A group of 100 randomly selected individuals were recruited among first- and fifth-year students of physiotherapy (50% women), who were assigned to two groups: A (aged 19 years) and B (aged 23 years). Body composition was assessed using a Tanita TBF-300 Analyzer, and physical fitness was measured using Zuchora’s Physical Fitness Index. (3) Results: A higher level of general fitness was identified in students from Group B (p = 0.0261), and lower values of the fat mass index was found in Group A (p = 0.0441). Group A was found with correlations between general level of physical fitness and the following indexes: fat% (R = −0.4; p = 0.0018), FM (R = −0.3; p = 0.0310), FFM (R = 0.3; p = 0.0229) and TBW (R = 0.4; p = 0.0024), whereas Group B was found with correlations between general physical fitness and BMI (R = 0.3; p = 0.0308) as well as FM index (R = 0.3; p = 0.0431). (4) Conclusions: The findings show significant differences between the groups in physical fitness, body composition and selected anthropometric measurements. Older students presented higher level of general fitness, whereas younger students were found with a lower mean value of fat index.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is correlated with many chronic diseases, and so far is moderately followed and treated. The present study follows a correlation of the presence of pathogens (Fusobacterium nucleatum, Bacteroides forsythus, and others) in the gingival crevicular fluid and MS. (1) An important role in the fight against MS is to reduce fat mass, inflammatory mediators, and prevent cytokine-associated diseases. (2) A group of 111 people with MS was studied, divided into 3 groups. The control group (CG) received no treatment for either periodontitis or MS. The diet therapy group (DG) followed a clinical diet therapy specific to MS, and the diet therapy and sports group (DSG) in addition to diet therapy introduced regular physical activity; (3) A statistically significant worsening of periodontopathogens was observed correlated with the advancement of MS (increase in fat mass, visceral fat, and ECW/TBW ratio) in the CG group. In the case of DG and DSG groups, an improvement of the parameters was observed, including periodontal diseases. Therefore, anti-inflammatory diet therapy contributes to the reduction of gingival inflammation and thus contributes to the reduction of the development of pathogenic bacteria in the gingival, responsible for the development of periodontal disease and directly by other chronic diseases.

Effects of Water Restriction and Water Replenishment on the Content of Body Water with Bioelectrical Impedance among Young Adults in Baoding, China: A Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Nutrients 2021; 13:553. [PMID: 33567589 PMCID: PMC7915432 DOI: 10.3390/nu13020553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2020] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 02/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Insufficient water intake may affect body composition. The purpose of this research was to explore the effects of water restriction and replenishment on body composition and to evaluate the optimum amount of water that improves body composition. A total of 76 young adults aged 18-23 years old (40 males and 36 females) in Baoding, China, were recruited in this randomized controlled trial, with a 100% completion rate. After fasting overnight for 12 h, at 8:00 a.m. of day 2, a baseline test, including anthropometric indices and collection of urine and blood samples, was explored. Participants were then subjected to water restriction for 24 h, and three meals with ≤75% water content were provided. At 8:00 AM of day 3, the same indices were determined as a dehydration test. Then, participants were randomly assigned into four groups: three water replenishment groups (WR groups 1, 2, and 3 given 1000, 500, and 200 mL of purified water, respectively) and one non-replenishment group (NR group, with no water). After 90 min, the same measurements were performed as a rehydration test. Compared with the baseline test, during the dehydration test, the intracellular water to total body water ratio (ICW/TBW) increased; and extracellular water (ECW), ECW/TBW (extracellular water to total body water ratio), and TBW decreased (all p < 0.05). For males, significant differences were found in ECW, ECW/ICW (extracellular water to intracellular water ratio), ICW/TBW, and ECW/TBW (all p < 0.05); for females, significant reductions were found in ICW, ECW, TBW, ECW/ICW, ICW/TBW, and ECW/TBW (all p < 0.05). Furthermore, significant differences were found in ICW, ECW, ICW/TBW, ECW/TBW, ECW/ICW, TBW, and TBW/BW between males and females during the baseline and dehydration test (all p < 0.05). Comparing the dehydration test with the rehydration test, there were significant interactions between time × volume in ICW and TBW (F = 3.002, p = 0.036; F = 2.907, p = 0.040); in males, these were only found in ICW (F = 3.061, p = 0.040); in females, they were found in ICW and TBW (F = 3.002, p = 0.036; F = 2.907, p = 0.040). The ICW levels in WR groups 1 and 2 were all higher than in the NR group (all p < 0.05); the TBW was higher in WR group 1 than in the NR group (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found between WR groups 1 and 2, either in males or in females (all p > 0.05). In the rehydration test, significant differences in body composition were found between males and females among the four groups (all p < 0.05). Water restriction had adverse effects on body composition, and females were more susceptible to water restriction than males. Water replenishment improved the water content of body composition, alleviating the adverse effects of water restriction on ICW and TBW. After water restriction for 36 h, the optimum volume of water to improve body composition among young male adults was 1000 mL, but this was not the case for females.

[PMID: 33049941 PMCID: PMC7599595 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics10100797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Revised: 09/16/2020] [Accepted: 10/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Musculoskeletal pain (MSP), specifically low back pain (LBP), is often associated with several adipose tissue-derived cytokines (adipokines) and body composition, but their correlations with the LBP-related disability/severity phenotypes remain poorly understood. In this cross-sectional study, two self-reported validated questionnaires were used to collect back pain and disability data in an ethnically homogeneous family-based population sample (N = 1078). Plasma levels of relatively new adipokines, vaspin and adipsin, were detected by ELISA. Body composition parameters, including fat, skeletal muscle mass, extracellular water (ECW), and others were assessed through bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technology. Statistical analysis was conducted, accounting for the familial composition of the sample. The multiple regression analyses with four LBP-related phenotypes as dependent variables consistently showed, for the first time, the significant associations with vaspin levels, regardless of other covariates. The odds ratios (OR)/SD ranged between 1.24 (95%CI = 1.03-1.50) and 1.33 (95%CI = 1.07-1.64), depending on the LBP phenotype. Among the tested body composition covariates, only ECW levels displayed consistent and highly significant associations with all tested LBP phenotypes (OR from 1.43, 95%CI = 1.14-1.79 to 1.68, 95%CI = 1.26-2.24). The results clearly suggest that circulating concentrations of vaspin and ECW levels could serve as biomarkers of MSP/LBP severity and complications.

Nutritional Status Plays More Important Role in Determining Functional State in Older People Living in the Community than in Nursing Home Residents. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12072042. [PMID: 32660012 PMCID: PMC7400166 DOI: 10.3390/nu12072042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2020] [Revised: 07/05/2020] [Accepted: 07/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to verify whether the relationship between nutritional and functional status differs between seniors in the community and those in long-term care institutions. One hundred nursing home (NH) residents aged 60 years and above and 100 sex- and age-matched community-dwelling (CD) older adults were examined. Functional status was assessed using the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) and nutritional status using anthropometric measures, the Mini Nutritional Assessment questionnaire (MNA) and bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Significant environmental interactions were observed with resting metabolic rate (RMR), extracellular water (ECW) and intracellular water (ICW) ratio, skeletal muscle mass (SMM), skeletal muscle index (SMI) and impedance (Z) and resistance (R) to the results of the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. The two groups demonstrated different relationships between Z and R and handgrip strength and between Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) score and fat free mass (FFM), body density, total body water (TBW) and phase angle (PhA). Nutritional status seems to be more important for functional state in CD older people than in NH residents. Therefore, to ensure the functional independence of seniors living in the community, it is crucial to maintain the correct nutritional parameters. Further studies are necessary to account for the fact that this relationship is less significant among NH residents and to identify other factors that may contribute to these discrepancies between community and institutional environments.

Abstract
An essential effect of environmental stiffness on biological processes in cells at present is generally accepted. An increase in arterial stiffness with advanced age has been reported in many publications. The aim of the present review is to summarize current information about possible chemical reactions and physical processes that lead to tissue stiffening and result in age-related diseases in order to find methods that can prevent or retard time-dependent tissue stiffening. The analysis of published data shows that bound water acts as a plasticizer of biological tissues, a decrease in bound water content results in an increase in biological tissue stiffness, and increased tissue stiffness leads to NF-kB activation and triggered actin polymerization-NF-kB activation is associated with age-related diseases. It can be suggested that changes in bound water content through changing tissue stiffness can affect cellular processes and the development of pathologies related to aging. Both age-related diseases and COVID-19 may be associated with tight-junction disruption and increased tissue stiffness and permeability.

J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9051580. [PMID: 32455974 PMCID: PMC7290582 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9051580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2020] [Revised: 05/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: In aged populations, muscle strength depends more on muscle quality than on muscle quantity, while all three are criteria for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Intracellular water content (ICW) in lean mass (LM) has been proposed as an indicator of muscle quality related to muscle strength in older people. Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between the ICW/LM ratio, muscle strength and indicators of functional performance in obese older adults, and to assess the value of the ICW/LM ratio as an indicator of muscle quality. Methodology: Design: cross-sectional study. Population: persons aged 65–75 years with a body mass index of 30–39 kg/m2. ICW and LM were estimated by bioelectrical impedance. Hand grip, gait speed, unipedal stance test, timed up-and-go (TUG) test, Barthel score and frailty (Fried criteria) were assessed. Sarcopenia was established according to EWGSOP2 criteria. Results: Recruited were 305 subjects (66% women), mean age 68 years. The ICW/LM ratio correlated with the TUG test, gait speed and grip strength, and was also associated with sex, the unipedal stance test and frailty. Independently of age, sex and muscle mass, the ICW/LM ratio was related with gait speed, the TUG test and unipedal stance capacity. One person (0.3%) had sarcopenia defined as low muscle strength and low muscle mass, while 25 people (8.2%) had sarcopenia defined as low muscle strength and poor muscle quality (ICW/LM). With this last definition, sarcopenia was related to frailty, gait speed and the TUG test. Conclusions: ICW content in LM could be a useful muscle quality indicator for defining sarcopenia. However, more studies are required to confirm our findings for other populations.

Hetherington-Rauth M, Baptista F, Sardinha LB. BIA-assessed cellular hydration and muscle performance in youth, adults, and older adults. Clin Nutr 2019; 39:2624-2630.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Alterations in body hydration can have an impact on muscle performance, with consequences not only at a sporting level, but on overall health and daily functional competence. Given that the estimation of body water from BIA is based on prediction equations involving assumptions on tissue hydration and body geometry, it is unclear if phase angle (PhA), which is not influenced by assumptions, is a better marker of muscle performance than the BIA estimated parameters of body water. Therefore, the aims of this investigation were to analyze the relationships of BIA-estimated body water compartments with muscle performance among youth, adults, and older adults, and to assess the added value of PhA as a marker of muscle performance. METHODS BIA assessments were completed on 263 youth (ages 6-17), 249 adults (ages 18-64), and 75 older adults (ages 65+). Muscle performance was assessed by jumping mechanography (power and force) and handgrip strength. Partial correlations were used to compare the degree of association among the BIA measures with muscle performance for each age group, controlling for sex, age, and body weight. RESULTS TBW, ICW, and PhA were associated with muscle performance at the lower and upper limbs in all age groups (p < 0.05), with the exception of PhA with handgrip strength in adults and older adults and TBW with lower limb total force in the older adults. In youth, the highest associations observed were PhA with lower limb muscle power (r = 0.45, CI:0.35-0.54, p < 0.05) and with handgrip strength (r = 0.42, CI:0.32-0.52, p < 0.05). In adults and older adults, the major associations observed were those of ICW with lower limb muscle power (adults, r = 0.53, CI:0.43-0.61, p < 0.05; older adults, r = 0.52, CI = 0.33-0.67, p < 0.05). ECW had significantly lower associations (p < 0.05) with both lower limb force and power in adults and older adults compared to youth. In the older adults, ECW was negatively associated with lower limb total force (r = -0.24; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS BIA derived hydration parameters may be useful markers of muscle performance in all age groups. In particular, the ICW compartment was a better predictor of muscle performance in adults and older adults compared to youth. In youth, PhA had stronger associations with muscle performance than those of ICW. Thus, phase angle appears to be a useful marker of muscle performance, particularly in youth.

The Role of Water Homeostasis in Muscle Function and Frailty: A Review. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11081857.

Abstract
Water, the main component of the body, is distributed in the extracellular and intracellular compartments. Water exchange between these compartments is mainly governed by osmotic pressure. Extracellular water osmolarity must remain within very narrow limits to be compatible with life. Older adults lose the thirst sensation and the ability to concentrate urine, and this favours increased extracellular osmolarity (hyperosmotic stress). This situation, in turn, leads to cell dehydration, which has severe consequences for the intracellular protein structure and function and, ultimately, results in cell damage. Moreover, the fact that water determines cell volume may act as a metabolic signal, with cell swelling acting as an anabolic signal and cell shrinkage acting as a catabolic signal. Ageing also leads to a progressive loss in muscle mass and strength. Muscle strength is the main determinant of functional capacity, and, in elderly people, depends more on muscle quality than on muscle quantity (or muscle mass). Intracellular water content in lean mass has been related to muscle strength, functional capacity, and frailty risk, and has been proposed as an indicator of muscle quality and cell hydration. This review aims to assess the role of hyperosmotic stress and cell dehydration on muscle function and frailty.

Abstract
Objective: Older adults present higher risk of functional disability detected by handgrip strength and an increased risk of poor health conditions, such as dehydration and low values of the sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio. This study aimed to quantify the association of hydration status and Na/K ratio with handgrip strength, based on the urinary excretion of older adults.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 735 older adults ≥ 65 years old. Handgrip strength was measured with a Jamar Dynamometer and low values were defined according to body mass index and to sex-specific cutoff points. The hydration status was evaluated based on free water reserve. Sodium and potassium intake were evaluated after converting 24-hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion, respectively. A logistic regression model was used to estimate the probability of presenting low handgrip strength, according to risk of hypohydration and to quartiles of Na/K, stratified by sex and adjusted for potential confounders.Results: The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for presenting low handgrip strength was higher in women at risk of hypohydration, but this association was not found in men. Both women and men with the highest values of Na/K ratio presented higher adjusted OR for low handgrip strength (OR in women was 2.03; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-3.68, and in men was 2.19; 95% CI: 1.11-4.29).Conclusions: The risk of hypohydration was directly associated with low handgrip strength in older women. In older adults, higher values of urinary Na/K ratio were also directly associated with low handgrip strength.

Intracellular Water Content in Lean Mass is Associated with Muscle Strength, Functional Capacity, and Frailty in Community-Dwelling Elderly Individuals. A Cross-Sectional Study.

Abstract
High intracellular water (ICW) content has been associated with better functional performance and a lower frailty risk in elderly people. However, it is not clear if the protective effect of high ICW is due to greater muscle mass or better muscle quality and cell hydration. We aimed to assess the relationship between ICW content in lean mass (LM) and muscle strength, functional performance, frailty, and other clinical characteristics in elderly people. In an observational cross-sectional study of community-dwelling subjects aged ≥75 years, ICW and LM were estimated by bioelectrical impedance, and the ICW/LM ratio (mL/kg) calculated. Muscle strength was measured as hand grip, frailty status was assessed according to Fried criteria, and functional status was assessed by Barthel score. For 324 recruited subjects (mean age 80 years), mean (SD) ICW/LM ratio was 408 (29.3) mL/kg. The ICW/LM ratio was negatively correlated with age (rs = −0.249; p < 0.001). A higher ICW/LM ratio was associated with greater muscle strength, better functional capacity, and a lower frailty risk, even when adjusted by age, sex, nº of co-morbidities, and LM. ICW content in LM (including the muscle) may influence muscle strength, functional capacity and frailty. However, further studies are needed to confirm this hypothesis.
