Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnostic criteria for respiratory sarcopenia have been recently reported. However, no studies have clarified the characteristics of skeletal muscle impairment of the limbs in subjects with respiratory sarcopenia. This study aimed to explore the factors, including skeletal muscle, associated with probable respiratory sarcopenia in elderly subjects. METHODS Subjects were classified into the probable respiratory sarcopenia group and nonrespiratory sarcopenia group. Probable respiratory sarcopenia was defined as the concurrent presence of respiratory muscle weakness (as less than the predicted value calculated from age, sex, and height) and low skeletal muscle mass (<7.0 kg/m2 in males and 5.7 kg/m2 in females). The following factors were measured: respiratory muscle strength, skeletal muscle mass index, muscle thickness and echo intensity of the rectus femoris, extracellular-to-intracellular water ratio, hand grip strength, 5 sit-to-stand, knee extension strength, bone mineral density, age, sex, body mass index, degree of frailty, presence or absence of medical history, presence or absence of habitual exercise, period of time since the start of exercise, and number of hours of exercise at a time. The association subjects with probable respiratory sarcopenia were analyzed using hierarchical logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Twenty-six with probable respiratory sarcopenia and 54 with nonrespiratory sarcopenia were included. Hierarchical logistic regression analysis revealed that echo intensity was a significant predictor of probable respiratory sarcopenia. The odds ratio for echo intensity was 2.54 (95% confidence interval: 1.04-6.23). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that a decrease in muscle quality in the lower extremity is associated with probable respiratory sarcopenia.

Front Public Health 2024; 12:1415398. [PMID: 39161853 PMCID: PMC11331796 DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2024.1415398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Understanding the epidemiological information of a certain disease is the first step in related prevention and control work. This article aims to understand the prevalence and associated risk factors of sarcopenia among the older adult (≥60 years old) in China and to provide an evidence-based basis for early identification, management, and prevention of sarcopenia patients. Methods We searched seven databases: CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from the establishment of the database until January 31, 2024. The Quality evaluation criteria of cross-sectional studies recommended by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) were used for literature quality evaluation. Stata 18.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results We finally included 45 studies, involving a total of 37,571 cases. After statistical analysis, we found that the prevalence of sarcopenia among the older adult in China was 20.7% [95% CI (18.3, 23.0%)]. The results of subgroup analysis suggest that: ① According to gender, the prevalence rate of sarcopenia in women (21.6%) is higher than that in men (19.2%); ② According to age, the prevalence rate of older adult people aged ≥80 (45.4%) was the highest, followed by 70-79 (27.2%) and 60-69 (15.7%). ③ According to region, the prevalence rate of the older adult in the south (21.7%) is higher than that in the north (19.0%); ④ According to the time of publication, the prevalence of sarcopenia among the older adult in China has increased (from 19.2% in 2014-2018 to 21.4% in 2019-2024); ⑤ According to the diagnostic criteria, the detection rate of AWGS (2019) is higher than that of AWGS (2014) (24.5% vs. 19.3%). Finally, aging, low BMI, low leg circumference, smoking, depression, osteoporosis, malnutrition and malnutrition risk are all risk factors for sarcopenia among the older adult in China. Conclusion The prevalence of sarcopenia in the older adult in China was higher (20.7%), which should be paid attention to by relevant health authorities. In addition, aging, low BMI, low calf circumference, smoking, depression, osteoporosis, malnutrition and malnutrition risk are risk factors for the development of sarcopenia in the older adult in China. For these high-risk populations, early identification, prevention, and intervention can be carried out to delay the occurrence and progression of sarcopenia.

Abstract
The aim of this study were to estimate associations of sarcopenic status with depressive symptoms. We used mixed-effects linear model to estimate longitudinal association between sarcopenic status and rate of change in 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scores, and used Cox regression model to estimate the association between sarcopenic status and incident depression (CES-D ≥ 10). Stratification analyses were performed when the interactions between sarcopenic status and covariates were significant. A total of 6522 participants were ultimately included. After adjusting for covariates, participants with possible sarcopenia (β = 0.117; 95% CI 0.067 to 0.166; P < 0.001) and sarcopenia (β: 0.093; 95% CI 0.027-0.159; P < 0.001) had a faster increase in CES-D scores compared with normal individuals. Interactions between smoking and sarcopenic status were significant (Pinteraction < 0.05). We found significantly positive associations of sarcopenic status with CES-D scores in nonsmokers, but not in current and past smokers. Besides, compared with normal participants, those with possible sarcopenia (HR 1.15; 95% CI 1.05 to 1.27) and sarcopenia (HR 1.28; 95% CI 1.12 to 1.46) (Ptrend < 0.001) had elevated risks of incident depression. Sarcopenia is associated with a faster increase in CES-D scores and increased risks of depression among Chinese middle-aged and older adults. Stronger associations between sarcopenia and trajectory of CES-D scores were found in nonsmokers than in smokers.

Abstract
Background Growing evidence indicates that there is a close relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and sarcopenia, and T2DM patients are often accompanied by obesity. However, research exploring the connection between body fat percentage (BFP) and sarcopenia is currently limited. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that included 676 patients with T2DM over 50 years old. The appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), handgrip strength, and 5-time chair stand test (5-TCST) were measured, and sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the Asian Working Group on Sarcopenia (AWGS). Spearman's coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation of BFP and body mass index (BMI) with the diagnostic elements of sarcopenia, and BFP and other relevant covariates were included in the binary logistic regression model. The subgroup performed an interaction test for statistically significant population baseline information. Results The prevalence of sarcopenia was 18.0% in males and 11.6% in females. Spearman correlation analysis showed that BFP was positively correlated with ASMI in women (R=0.107, P=0.029), but not in men. BFP was negatively correlated with grip strength (male: R= -0.187, P=0.003; female: R=-0.108, P=0.029). There was a positive correlation between BFP and 5-TCST (male: R=0.199, P=0.001; female: R=0.144, P=0.003). After adjusting for confounding factors, BFP was an independent risk factor for sarcopenia (men, OR: 1.33, 95% CI: 1.15-1.54; women, OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 1.13-1.41). This correlation was generally consistent, as demonstrated in further subgroup analyses. Conclusion High BFP was significantly associated with sarcopenia risk, and this association was independent of gender, age, and BMI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Smoking is a risk factor for sarcopenia. Nevertheless, few studies analyzed the independent effects of various smoking dimensions (duration, intensity, cumulative dose) on sarcopenia risk. This is a cross-sectional study based on an older population in Zhejiang Province to determine which smoking dimensions are mainly important for sarcopenia risk and to explore the dose-response relationship between them. METHODS Our study included 783 patients with sarcopenia and 4918 non-sarcopenic individuals. Logistic regression and restricted cubic with logistic regression (for nonlinear dose effects) were used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals as well as restricted cubic splines (RCS) curves. RESULTS Compared with never-smokers, current smokers had an increased risk of sarcopenia (OR = 1.786; 95% CI 1.387-2.301) after adjusting for confounders such as age, sex, education, alcohol consumption, disease history, etc. There was no significant association between smoking intensity and sarcopenia after more than 20 cigarettes per day (OR = 1.484; 95% CI 0.886-2.487), whereas the risk of sarcopenia increased significantly with increasing duration of smoking after more than 40 years (OR = 1.733; 95% CI 1.214-2.473). Meanwhile, there was a significant non-linear dose-response relationship between smoking duration or intensity and the risk of sarcopenia. However, the risk of sarcopenia increased linearly with the number of pack-years of smoking, which is not a significant nonlinear dose-response relationship. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated the association between smoking and sarcopenia. Both smoking duration and cumulative dose were significantly and positively associated with sarcopenia. These findings reflect the important role of the number of years of smoking in increasing the risk of sarcopenia and provide scientific evidence that different smoking dimensions may influence the risk of the sarcopenia.

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
Background and Objective: This study aimed to identify the incidence of sarcopenia and disease risk factors in Korean adults and to provide data for sarcopenia prevention. Materials and Methods: Based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey, 2008-2011, we selected 14,185 adults over the age of 20 who participated in sarcopenia diagnostic tests and health surveys. We analyzed sarcopenia risk factors using complex sample multi-logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of sarcopenia in Korea was 31.3%, with 20.2% in men and 40.4% in women. In men, there was a higher risk of sarcopenia in those of older age, without a spouse, with a low body mass index (BMI), who never engage in resistance exercise, or who do mid-level intensity resistance exercises. In women, sarcopenia risk was higher in those in their 20s compared to those in their 60s, and risk factors included a low BMI, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and waist circumference measurements, alcohol consumption, aerobic exercise, and resistance exercise. Conclusions: Interventions and lifestyle improvements will help prevent the onset of sarcopenia in elderly men and young women with risk factors such as a low BMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a common cancer with a poor prognosis and is associated with a high prevalence of cachexia, a metabolic syndrome of muscle wasting due to complex mechanisms. In addition to loss of muscle mass, cancer patients also experience functional deterioration. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is an association between muscle mass and function and clinical outcomes, particularly survival. METHODS We performed a prospective cohort study including all patients with PDAC at Monash Health from March 2016 to December 2017. We conducted body composition analysis for myopenia and handgrip strength testing. We constructed Kaplan-Meier curves to estimate whether myopenia and low hand grip strength were associated with poorer survival. RESULTS Myopenia was not associated with a significant difference in PDAC-specific survival (log-rank P = 0.60). However, low handgrip strength was associated with significantly worse PDAC-specific survival compared with other patients (log-rank hazard ratio, 1.88; 95% confidence interval, 1.15-3.09; P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS The relationship between survival in PDAC and handgrip strength, but not anatomical muscle mass, suggests that functional testing of strength may be important in prognostication of patients with PDAC, alongside existing tools such as the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is closely associated with sarcopenia. We aimed to examine the relationship between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and the incidence of sarcopenia among adults in the United States. In this study, a cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2013 to 2018 and included 5999 adult participants. LE8 score was categorized into low (< 49), moderate (49-79), and high CVH (≥ 79) groups and consisted of health behavior score and health factor score based on American Heart Association definitions. Sarcopenia was defined according to The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health Sarcopenia Project. Multivariate logistic regressions, restricted cubic spline regressions, and subgroup analyses were used to assess the association between LE8 and sarcopenia. LE8 and its subscales score were negatively associated with the incidence of sarcopenia in US adults.

Abstract
Background Oxidative Balance Score (OBS) is a tool for assessing the oxidative stress-related exposures of diet and lifestyle. The study aimed to investigate the association between OBS and low muscle mass. Methods Overall, 6,307 individuals over the age of 18 were assessed using data from the 2011 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Weighted logistic regression and models were used, together with adjusted models. Results There was a negative relationship between OBS and low muscle mass [odds ratio (OR): 0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.94-0.97, p< 0.0001] using the first OBS level as reference. The values (all 95% CI) were 0.745 (0.527-1.054) for the second level, 0.650 (0.456-0.927) for the third level, and 0.326 (0.206-0.514) for the fourth level (P for trend <0.0001). Independent links with low muscle mass were found for diet and lifestyle factors. A restricted cubic spline model indicated a non-linear association between OBS and low muscle mass risk (P for non-linearity<0.05). In addition, the inflection points of the nonlinear curves for the relationship between OBS and risk of low muscle mass were 20. Conclusion OBS and low muscle mass were found to be significantly negatively correlated. By modulating oxidative balance, a healthy lifestyle and antioxidant rich diet could be a preventive strategy for low muscle mass.

Abstract
Sarcopenia can lead to more postoperative complications and poorer prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer; however there is limited research exploring the incidence and influencing factors of different stages of sarcopenia in patients with colorectal cancer. We investigated 312 patients with colorectal cancer. Sarcopenia was determined by measuring muscle mass, grip strength, and gait speed. According to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) 2010, patients were classified into four groups: nonsarcopenia, presarcopenia, sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia. The incidence of sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia was 10.3% and 8.7%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, TNM stage smoking history, total protein, upper arm circumference, waist circumference, and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) score were independently associated with sarcopenia at different stages. This study suggests that routine data should be used to provide targeted care during hospitalization for patients with colorectal cancer in order to reduce the incidence of sarcopenia and improve prognosis.

Abstract
Objectives Sarcopenia is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer. However, the clinical factors that lead to colorectal cancer patients with sarcopenia are still unclear. The objective of this study is to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the occurrence of sarcopenia and to provide healthcare professionals with a reliable tool for early identification of high-risk patients with colorectal cancer associated sarcopenia. Methods A total of 359 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer from July 2021 to May 2022 were included. All patients were randomly divided into a training (n = 287) cohort and a validation cohort (n = 72) at the ratio of 80/20. Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were performed to evaluate the factors associated with sarcopenia. The diagnostic nomogram of sarcopenia in patients with colorectal cancer was constructed in the training cohort and validated in the validation cohort. Various evaluation metrics were employed to assess the performance of the developed nomogram, including the ROC curve, calibration curve, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test. Results Smoking history, drinking history, diabetes, TNM stage, nutritional status, and physical activity were included in the nomogram for the prediction of sarcopenia. The diagnostic nomograms demonstrated excellent discrimination, with AUC values of 0.971 and 0.922 in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Moreover, the calibration performance of the nomogram is also excellent, as evidenced by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test result of 0.886. Conclusions The nomogram consisting of preoperative factors was able to successfully predict the occurrence of sarcopenia in colorectal cancer patients, aiding in the early identification of high-risk patients and facilitating timely implementation of appropriate intervention measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Household air pollution from solid fuel combustion is a leading cause of age-related diseases worldwide. However, little is known about the association between indoor solid fuel use and sarcopenia, especially in developing countries. METHODS A total of 10,261 and 5129 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were enrolled in the cross-sectional and follow-up analysis, respectively. The effects of household solid fuel use (for cooking and heating) on sarcopenia were evaluated using generalized linear models in the cross-sectional analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression models in the longitudinal analysis. RESULTS The prevalence of sarcopenia in the total population, clean cooking fuel users, and solid cooking fuel users were 13.6 % (1396/10,261), 9.1 % (374/4114), and 16.6 % (1022/6147), respectively. A similar pattern was observed for heating fuel users, with a higher prevalence of sarcopenia among solid fuel users (15.5 %) than among clean fuel users (10.7 %). In the cross-sectional analysis, solid fuel use for cooking/heating, separately or simultaneously, was positively associated with an elevated risk of sarcopenia after adjusting for potential confounders. During the four-years follow-up period, 330 participants (6.4 %) with sarcopenia were identified. The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio (HR) (95 % confidence interval [95 % CI]) for solid cooking fuel users and solid heating fuel users was 1.86(95 % CI:1.43-2.41) and 1.32(95 % CI:1.05-1.66), respectively. Moreover, compared with persistent clean fuel users, participants who switched from clean to solid fuel for heating appeared to have an increased risk of sarcopenia (HR:1.58; 95 % CI:1.08-2.31). CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that household solid fuel use is a risk factor for sarcopenia development among middle-aged and older Chinese adults. The transition from solid to clean fuel use may help reduce the burden of sarcopenia in developing countries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the longitudinal association between cognitive impairment and sarcopenia in a sample of Brazilian community-dwelling older adults. DESIGN Nine-year observational prospective study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS A total of 521 community-dwelling older adults from 2 Brazilian sites of the Frailty in Brazilian Older Adults (FIBRA in Portuguese) study. METHODS Sarcopenia was defined as low hand-grip strength and low muscle mass. Cognitive impairment was determined at baseline using the Mini-Mental State Examination, with education-adjusted cutoff scores. The logistic regression model was used to assess the association between cognitive impairment and incident sarcopenia after adjusting for gender, age, education, morbidities, physical activity, and body mass index. Inverse probability weighting was applied to correct for sample loss at follow-up. RESULTS The mean age of the study population was 72.7 (±5.6) years, and 365 were women (70.1%). Being 80 years and older (odds ratio [OR], 4.62; 95% CI, 1.38-15.48; P = .013), being under- and overweight (OR, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.11-0.76; P = .012, and OR, 5.12; 95% CI, 2.18-12.01; P < .001, respectively) and having cognitive impairment (OR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.18-5.04; P = .016) at baseline predicted sarcopenia after 9 years. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Cognitive impairment may predict sarcopenia in Brazilian older adults. More studies are necessary to identify the main mechanisms shared by sarcopenia and cognitive decline, which could support the development of prevention interventions.

Abstract
Tobacco smoking is a major cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). These diseases share common pathogenesis and significantly influence each other's clinical presentation and prognosis. There is increasing evidence that the mechanisms underlying the comorbidity of COPD and ASCVD are complex and multifactorial. Smoking-induced systemic inflammation, impaired endothelial function and oxidative stress may contribute to the development and progression of both diseases. The components present in tobacco smoke can have adverse effects on various cellular functions, including macrophages and endothelial cells. Smoking may also affect the innate immune system, impair apoptosis, and promote oxidative stress in the respiratory and vascular systems. The purpose of this review is to discuss the importance of smoking in the mechanisms underlying the comorbid course of COPD and ASCVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia, or loss of skeletal muscle mass and decreased contractile strength, contributes to morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The severity of sarcopenia in COPD is variable, and there are limited data to explain phenotype heterogeneity. Others have shown that COPD patients with sarcopenia have several hallmarks of cellular senescence, a potential mechanism of primary (age-related) sarcopenia. We tested if genetic contributors explain the variability in sarcopenic phenotype and accelerated senescence in COPD. METHODS To identify gene variants [single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)] associated with sarcopenia in COPD, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of fat free mass index (FFMI) in 32 426 non-Hispanic White (NHW) UK Biobank participants with COPD. Several SNPs within the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene were associated with sarcopenia that were validated in an independent COPDGene cohort (n = 3656). Leucocyte telomere length quantified in the UK Biobank cohort was used as a marker of senescence. Experimental validation was done by genetic depletion of FTO in murine skeletal myotubes exposed to prolonged intermittent hypoxia or chronic hypoxia because hypoxia contributes to sarcopenia in COPD. Molecular biomarkers for senescence were also quantified with FTO depletion in murine myotubes. RESULTS Multiple SNPs located in the FTO gene were associated with sarcopenia in addition to novel SNPs both within and in proximity to the gene AC090771.2, which transcribes long non-coding RNA (lncRNA). To replicate our findings, we performed a GWAS of FFMI in NHW subjects from COPDGene. The SNP most significantly associated with FFMI was on chromosome (chr) 16, rs1558902A > T in the FTO gene (β = 0.151, SE = 0.021, P = 1.40 × 10-12 for UK Biobank |β= 0.220, SE = 0.041, P = 9.99 × 10-8 for COPDGene) and chr 18 SNP rs11664369C > T nearest to the AC090771.2 gene (β = 0.129, SE = 0.024, P = 4.64 × 10-8 for UK Biobank |β = 0.203, SE = 0.045, P = 6.38 × 10-6 for COPDGene). Lower handgrip strength, a measure of muscle strength, but not FFMI was associated with reduced telomere length in the UK Biobank. Experimentally, in vitro knockdown of FTO lowered myotube diameter and induced a senescence-associated molecular phenotype, which was worsened by prolonged intermittent hypoxia and chronic hypoxia. CONCLUSIONS Genetic polymorphisms of FTO and AC090771.2 were associated with sarcopenia in COPD in independent cohorts. Knockdown of FTO in murine myotubes caused a molecular phenotype consistent with senescence that was exacerbated by hypoxia, a common condition in COPD. Genetic variation may interact with hypoxia and contribute to variable severity of sarcopenia and skeletal muscle molecular senescence phenotype in COPD.

Abstract
Sarcopenia, a disorder that involves the generalized loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass, was formally recognized as a disease by its inclusion in the International Classification of Diseases in 2016. Sarcopenia typically affects older people, but younger individuals with chronic disease are also at risk. The risk of sarcopenia is high (with a prevalence of ≥25%) in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and this rheumatoid sarcopenia is associated with increased likelihood of falls, fractures and physical disability, in addition to the burden of joint inflammation and damage. Chronic inflammation mediated by cytokines such as TNF, IL-6 and IFNγ contributes to aberrant muscle homeostasis (for instance, by exacerbating muscle protein breakdown), and results from transcriptomic studies have identified dysfunction of muscle stem cells and metabolism in RA. Progressive resistance exercise is an effective therapy for rheumatoid sarcopenia but it can be challenging or unsuitable for some individuals. The unmet need for anti-sarcopenia pharmacotherapies is great, both for people with RA and for otherwise healthy older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ageing traits and frailty are important health issues in modern medicine. Evidence supporting the causal effects of tobacco smoking on various ageing traits is required. METHODS This study performed Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis instrumenting 377 genetic variants associated with being an ever-smoker at a genome-wide significance level to test the causal estimates from tobacco smoking. The outcome data were obtained from 337 138 white British ancestry participants from the UK Biobank. Leucocyte telomere length, appendicular lean mass index, subjective walking pace, handgrip strength, and wristband accelerometry-determined physical activity degree were collected as ageing-related outcomes. Summary-level MR analysis was performed using the inverse variance-weighted method and pleiotropy-robust MR methods, including weighted median and MR-Egger. Observational association between the outcome traits and phenotypically being an ever-smoker was also investigated. RESULTS Summary-level MR analysis indicated that a higher genetic predisposition for tobacco smoking was significantly associated with shorter leucocyte telomere length (twofold increase in prevalence of smoking towards standardized Z-score, -0.041 [-0.054, -0.028]), lower appendicular lean mass index (-0.007 [-0.010, -0.005]), slower walking pace (ordinal category, -0.047 [-0.054, -0.033]) and lower time spent on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (hours per week, -0.39 [-0.56, -0.23]). The causal estimates were non-significant towards handgrip strength phenotype (kg, 0.074 [-0.055, 0.204]). Pleiotropy-robust MR results generally supported the main causal estimates. The observational findings also showed significant association between being an ever-smoker and the ageing traits. CONCLUSIONS Genetically predicted and observational tobacco smoking status are significantly associated with poor ageing phenotypes. Healthcare providers may continue to reduce tobacco use, which may be helpful in reducing the burden of ageing and frailty.

Abstract
Background: Calf circumference (CC) is regarded as a surrogate marker of skeletal muscle mass with high sensitivity and specificity for predicting sarcopenia. A cross-sectional study reported older adults living alone were at high risk of developing sarcopenia. Whether living alone affects the change of calf circumference is unknown and there is no evidence from longitudinal study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between living arrangements and the change of calf circumferences among older adults in China. Methods: The data were from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. A total of 2,203 older adults (age ≥65 years, mean age: 80.61 ± 8.30 years, 50.0% female) who were interviewed in 2014 and then 2018 follow-up survey were finally included for analysis. Living arrangements and other information were collected in 2014. Calf circumferences were measured and recorded in the questionnaires of two waves and the differences were calculated. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the association of living arrangements (living alone or not living alone) with the change of calf circumferences (decline or no decline). Results: There were 446 (20.2%) participants living alone and 1,757 (79.8%) participants not living alone. After about 4 years, calf circumferences of 866 (39.3%) older adults declined. Compared to not living alone, living alone was negatively associated with calf circumference decline, even after adjustment for covariates (OR: 0.702, 95% CI: 0.547-0.901, p = 0.005). This significant association was found in 65-79 years old (OR: 0.619, 95% CI: 0.407-0.942, p = 0.025), female (OR: 0.567, 95% CI: 0.408-0.790, p = 0.001) and city/town (OR: 0.461, 95% CI: 0.310-0.685, p < 0.001) subgroups but not in advanced age (≥80 years old), male and rural subgroups. Conclusion: This study revealed that living alone was associated with a decreased risk of calf circumference decline among older adults, and might be a protective factor for sarcopenia.

Bone 2022; 164:116521. [PMID: 35985467 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2022.116521] [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: 05/05/2022] [Revised: 08/02/2022] [Accepted: 08/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength is associated with adverse health outcomes. However, to date, peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT)-derived muscle density has been little studied. We used a well characterised cohort of older adults to identify lifestyle and anthropometric determinants of pQCT-derived muscle density measured 11 years later, and to report relationships between pQCT-derived muscle density with history of falls and prevalent fractures. METHODS A lifestyle questionnaire was administered to 197 men and 178 women, aged 59-70 at baseline. After a median of 11.5 (IQR 10.9, 12.3) years, pQCT (Stratec XCT2000) of the radius and tibia was performed to measure forearm muscle density (FMD) and calf muscle density (CMD). Presence of falls and fractures since the age of 45 were determined through participant recall; vertebral fractures were also ascertained through vertebral fracture assessment using iDXA. Total hip BMD (TH aBMD) was assessed using DXA. Baseline characteristics in relation to muscle density at follow-up were examined using linear regression; associations between muscle density and prior falls and fractures were investigated using logistic regression. All analyses were adjusted for sex and age. RESULTS Mean (SD) age at muscle density measurement was 76.3 (2.6) years. Mean (SD) FMD was 79.9 (3.1) and 77.2 (3.2) among males and females, respectively; CMD was 80.7 (2.6) and 78.5 (2.6) among males and females, respectively. Significant sex-differences in muscle density were observed at each site (p < 0.001). Female sex, lower weight, and lower body mass index were associated (p < 0.05) with both lower FMD and CMD. Additional correlates of lower CMD included older age and shorter stature. Lifestyle measures were not associated with muscle density in this cohort. Lower FMD was related to increased risk of previous fracture (odds ratio (95 % CI) per SD lower FMD: 1.42 (1.07, 1.89), p = 0.015) but not after adjustment for TH aBMD (p > 0.08). No significant relationships were seen between muscle density and falls. CONCLUSION Female sex, older age, and lower BMI were associated with subsequent lower muscle density in older community-dwelling adults. Lower FMD was related to increased risk of previous fracture. Changes in muscle density over time might precede adverse outcomes such as falls and fractures and may be a long-term predictor of frailty. It could be also suggested that muscle density could be a more clinically meaningful surrogate of functional decline and disability than muscle size or mass, but more studies are needed to support this notion.

Abstract
Background The goal of this study is to clarify clinical, functional, and biochemical features of postmenopausal women who are at risk of developing osteosarcopenia. Methods This is a cross-sectional study undertaken to investigate the co-accordance of osteoporosis and sarcopenia and common risk factors on 305 postmenopausal Iranian women. Sarcopenia and osteoporosis were defined based on the European Working Group on sarcopenia in Older People guidelines and WHO criteria, respectively. Confounding factors including age, menopausal age, obesity, sun exposure, physical activity, macronutrient composition, and calcium and vitamin D supplementations were considered for all participants. A multivariate model was used to consider the common risk factors of both disorders; osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Results The mean age was 57.9 years ± 6.0 SD (range: 48–78 years) and 37.4% of patients were 60 years or older. Among all participants, 35.7% were obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). Approximately 45% of all the study population had insufficient physical activity and at least half of participants had insufficient intake of protein. There was a significant correlation between bone density and muscle mass and basal metabolic rate (BMR) (p < 0.01). In multivariate-multivariable regression model, after Bonferroni correction for obesity, lower BMR was the only one associated with both lower muscle mass and bone density in lumbar and hip sites (p < 0.007). Conclusions Our data suggest that low BMR might be an early predictor for concordance of osteoporosis and sarcopenia in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of sarcopenia in the elderly has not yet been fully understood. This study aimed to explore the relationship between sarcopenia and several serum biomarkers in elderly population. METHODS It was an observational cross-sectional study of data collected from 70 patients. According to the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS), subjects were divided into the sarcopenia group and nonsarcopenic group. We compared age, body mass index (BMI), biochemical indexes, smoking status, underlying disease, muscle mass, handgrip strength (HS), gait speed (GS), skinfold thickness, muscle thickness, and IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, and TNF-α levels between these groups. RESULTS Of the 70 subjects, 35 patients were diagnosed with sarcopenia. The number of men was higher than that of women in both groups. The patients with sarcopenia were older and had lower BMI and muscle thickness but higher SARC-F questionnaire scores. However, the difference in smoking status and skinfold thickness between these two groups were not statistically significant. Higher IL-6, IL-17A, and TNF-α levels were observed in participants with sarcopenia (P < 0.05). Patients with sarcopenia had a lower IL-10 level. Positive associations were present between the severity of sarcopenia and IL-6, IL-17A, and TNF-α levels, while there was an inverse correlation between the presence of sarcopenia and IL-10 level. CONCLUSIONS Our research found that in sarcopenic elderly subjects, the serum levels of several biomarkers, such as IL-6, IL-17A, and TNF-α, were higher than those in nonsarcopenic elderly persons. Further studies are needed to explore the possible molecular mechanisms and discover new therapeutic targets.

Exp Gerontol 2021; 154:111523. [PMID: 34425203 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2021.111523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/14/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical performance decline associated with aging is clinically important in the development of disability in the older population. More recently, procollagen type III N-terminal peptide (P3NP) and synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP25) have been suggested as potential biomarkers for physical performance decline. OBJECTIVE The objective of this pilot study was to examine plasma P3NP and SNAP25 levels in relation to muscle mass, strength, and performance status, and to investigate the association of plasma P3NP and SNAP25 levels with sarcopenia components. METHODS Seventy-nine community-dwelling elderly men (mean age: 78.1 ± 3.5 years) were randomly selected and matched by age from the Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study. The sample was classified into the "normal," "low muscle mass only," "sarcopenia," and "low physical performance only" groups according to the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of log P3NP and log SNAP25 levels by muscle mass, strength, and performance status were obtained using a generalized linear model. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression analyses were used to assess the association of log P3NP and log SNAP25 levels with appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) index, handgrip strength, and physical performance. RESULTS Log P3NP levels tended to be associated with low physical performance compared with the normal group (estimate = 0.54; 95% CI = -0.05, 1.14; p = 0.072). Log P3NP levels were inversely associated with physical performance (short physical performance battery and five-times sit-to-stand test) after adjusting for potential confounders (all p < 0.05) and tended to have an inverse association with gait speed (p = 0.078). Log P3NP levels tended to have a positive correlation with the ASM index (r2 = 0.042; p = 0.070), but not with handgrip strength (r2 = 0.0009; p = 0.795). However, no significant association between plasma SNAP25 levels and physical performance was observed. CONCLUSION Plasma P3NP levels might be a potential biomarker for decreased physical performance in elderly men. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our findings.

Malnutrition, assessed by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria but not by the mini nutritional assessment (MNA), predicts the incidence of sarcopenia over a 5-year in the SarcoPhAge cohort. Aging Clin Exp Res 2021; 33:1507-1517. [PMID: 33991331 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-021-01880-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The capacity of malnutrition screening to predict the onset of sarcopenia is unknown. AIM Our first objective is to explore the association between the screening of malnutrition and the incidence of sarcopenia and then, to assess the added value of the diagnosis of malnutrition to predict sarcopenia over a 5-year follow-up. METHODS Malnutrition was screened at baseline according to the MNA short-form (MNA-SF) and long-form (MNA-LF) and was diagnosed by the GLIM definition. Sarcopenia was defined using the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) criteria. Kaplan-Meier analysis and adjusted Cox regression were performed to explore the association between nutritional status and the incidence of sarcopenia. RESULTS A total of 418 participants were analyzed (median age 71.7 years (67.7 - 76.8), 60% women) for our first objective. Among them, 64 (15.3%) became sarcopenic during the follow-up period. In the adjusted model, the incidence of sarcopenia was nonsignificantly associated with the risk of malnutrition for both forms of the MNA (MNA-SF: HR of 1.68 (95% CI 0.95 - 2.99); MNA-LF: HR of 1.67 (95% CI 0.86 - 3.26)). However, among the 337 participants for which a GLIM assessment was possible and in which 46 participants became sarcopenic, malnourished subjects had a higher risk than well-nourished participants of developing sarcopenia after 5 years, with an adjusted HR of 3.19 (95% CI 1.56 - 6.50). CONCLUSION A full diagnosis of malnutrition seems more useful than a simple malnutrition screening to predict the incidence of sarcopenia over 5 years.
