Abstract
Sarcopenia is prevalent among 11-25% of adult cancer survivors, depending on the cancer type, although the available data on post-treatment survivors in Japan are limited. If cancer patients develop cachexia, they may experience sustained weight loss as a result, ultimately leading to sarcopenia. Conversely, some patients experience post-treatment weight gain, resulting in sarcopenic obesity. Both sarcopenia and obesity elevate the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality; therefore, the importance of sarcopenia prevention and management is undeniable. The Guidelines for Exercise for Cancer Survivors recommend continued physical activity. Recent studies have reported the effectiveness of multimodal interventions, combining pharmacological, nutritional, and exercise approaches, necessitating multidisciplinary care for post-treatment sarcopenia. Innovative health interventions using mobile devices have also gained attention. However, studies on sarcopenia in post-treatment cancer survivors, especially those regarding exercise interventions, remain scarce in Japan, primarily due to limited insurance coverage for such post-treatment interventions and workforce challenges. It is clear that some cancer survivors have sarcopenia, which can lead to worse survival and secondary illness. While the benefits of exercise are clear, a comprehensive approach to sarcopenia is a further challenge for the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress has a potential role in carcinogenesis. Anti-oxidant enzymes have a neutralizing effect on both cancer initiation and progression. We aimed to assess the oxidant and anti-oxidant levels of pediatric cancer patients and to compare the levels in healthy controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study involved 105 pediatric cancer patients (40 undergoing chemotherapy, 65 survivors) and 40 healthy children. The serum total oxidant status (TOS) and total anti-oxidant status (TAS) were measured. RESULTS The oxidative stress index was significantly lower in pediatric cancer patients compared to the levels in the controls (0.20 ± 0.07 vs. 0.26 ± 0.10; P = 0.001). The mean serum TAS level was significantly higher in patient groups compared to the level in the control (1.87 ± 0.48 vs. 1.63 ± 0.32 mmol/L, P = 0.001). The TAS level of children with cancer in survivors was also found to be significantly higher compared to the levels in the control group (1.85 ± 0.45 vs. 1.63 ± 0.32 mmol/L, P = 0.005). Radiotherapy, surgery, relapsed disease, presence of metastases, and receiving enteral nutritional support caused no change in the TAS/TOS level. CONCLUSION It has been revealed for the first time that the serum total anti-oxidant level was high in children undergoing chemotherapy and the survivor group as well. Moreover, the oxidative stress index was low in children with cancer. Longitudinal prospective studies are needed to reveal the alterations in oxidant status among children with cancer.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide, which seriously endangers human health. A number of studies have shown that sarcopenia occurs more frequently in patients with gastric cancer than in the general population and can significantly affect the disease status and survival of patients, which is of great significance in predicting the prognosis of gastric cancer. Patients with gastric cancer may suffer sarcopenia no matter before or after surgery, and the pathogenesis is complex. Abnormal nutrient metabolism and reduced exercise are the leading causes. In addition, surgical treatment and chemotherapy for gastric cancer might participate in the physiological and pathological mechanism of sarcopenia. Generally speaking, exercise and nutritional therapy are the main prevention and treatment methods for sarcopenia. But more prospective evidence is needed to establish reasonable interventions, and other drug treatments are in their infancy. For the diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia, the cut-off values of the skeletal muscle mass index obtained from CT images vary widely and need to be standardized and unified. We also need to explore simple predictors to facilitate sarcopenia risk assessment. More research is needed to formulate more appropriate treatments for gastric cancer patients with sarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dietary sodium intake is a crucial lifestyle factor that should be assessed in adult cancer survivors due to their increased risk of adverse health outcomes compared to the general population. However, its with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in adult cancer survivors remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association of dietary sodium intake categorized by the American Heart Association (AHA) recommendation with IFG in the community-dwelling adult cancer survivors. METHODS A total of 1,052 adult cancer survivors without diabetes were identified from the sixth and seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), 2013-2018. Data on dietary sodium intake was categorized as <1,500 mg/day, 1,500-2,999 mg/day, 2,300-3,999 mg/day, and ≥4,000 mg/day according to the AHA recommendation. A multiple logistic regression model adjusted for demographic, lifestyle, and health status was used to compute odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for IFG according to dietary sodium intake categories. RESULTS After adjusting for confounding variables identified in the KNHANES, the adjusted OR among the adult cancer survivors who consumed 1,500-2,999 mg/day, 2,300-3,999 mg/day, and ≥4,000 mg/day of dietary sodium were 1.16 (95% CI: 0.25-5.27), 1.93 (95% CI: 0.40-9.37), and 2.67 (95% CI: 0.59-12.18), respectively, as compared to those who consumed <1,500 mg/day (P value for trend = 0.036). CONCLUSION Among community-dwelling adult cancer survivors, high dietary sodium intake was marginally associated with increased odds of IFG. Well-designed cohort studies or randomized clinical trials are needed to establish more epidemiologic evidence on this association in adult cancer survivors.

Abstract
Both quality and quantity of skeletal muscle are considered important for prognostic factors and clinical outcomes in solid cancers. However, few studies have examined both quality and quantity of skeletal muscle in patients with hematological malignancies. The aim of the present study was to clarify the prevalence of low skeletal muscle quantity and quality and their associated factors in patients before allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Pretransplant plain CT imaging at the third lumber vertebra level was used to measure the psoas muscle mass index (PMI) and the intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC) in 113 adult patients (age 47.1 ± 14.6 years) before HSCT. We analyzed the factors associated with PMI and IMAC, respectively. Although 62.8% of all patients had low skeletal muscle mass, only 8% had poor skeletal muscle quality. Multivariable logistic analysis showed that older age [odds ratio (OR) = 2.45, confidence interval (CI) = 1.04-5.76, P = 0.04], male (OR = 4.35, CI = 0.05-0.97, P = 0.04), and low BMI (OR = 0.83, CI = 0.71-0.97, P = 0.02) were independent risk factors for low PMI before HSCT. Only age (≤ 50 years) was significantly associated with muscle quality (modified OR = 0.07, CI = 0.00-0.43, P < 0.01) in univariate analysis. Most patients already showed low skeletal muscle mass before allo-HSCT although skeletal muscle quality was relatively preserved. These results may be indicative of pre-cachexia and may be useful for its long-term management in allo-HSCT patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to describe the effect of preoperative sarcopenia on oncologic outcomes of organ-confined renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after radical nephrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 632 patients with pT1-2 RCC who underwent radical nephrectomy between 2004 and 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. From preoperative computerized tomography (CT) scans, skeletal muscle index (SMI) was measured and gender-specific cutoff values at third lumbar vertebra of 52.4 cm2/m2 for men and 38.5 cm2/m2 for women were used to define sarcopenia. Survivals were compared and associations with sarcopenia were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier log rank tests and Cox proportional hazard regression models. Median follow-up was 83 months. RESULTS Of 632 patients, 268 (42.4%) were classified as sarcopenic. The sarcopenic group was more advanced in age (57 versus 53 years) and more predominantly male (71.3% versus 59.9%). Sarcopenic patients had lower body mass index (BMI, 23.0 versus 25.9 kg/m2), but there was no difference in tumor size, stage, or nuclear grade. Sarcopenia was associated with poorer overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS; OS 94.0% versus 82.1%; p < 0.001 and CSS 97.5% versus 91.8%; p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 2.58; 95% CI 1.02-6.54] and cancer-specific mortality (HR 3.07; 95% CI 1.38-6.83). CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia at diagnosis was an independent risk factor for all-cause and cancer-specific mortality after radical nephrectomy for pT1-2 RCC. These findings underscore the importance of assessing presence of sarcopenia for risk stratification even among surgical candidates.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer patients frequently suffer from sarcopenia, and reports on the association of resectable lung cancer and their postoperative outcomes are increasing. Information on whether sarcopenia has any impact on short- and long-term postoperative outcomes in patients surgically treated for non-small cell lung cancer remains insufficient. Furthermore, reports vary regarding the pathological stage, surgical procedure, diagnostic tool of sarcopenia, cut-off value, prognosis, and postoperative complications. We believe that sarcopenia assessment should be included as one of the factors which affect the surgical outcomes of lung cancer. Thus, we conducted a review and meta-analysis to ascertain the association between sarcopenia and postoperative outcomes. Methods We performed a systematic literature search in PubMed/MEDLINE. Studies included cases defined sarcopenia, received lung cancer surgery, assessed postoperative complications, and prognosis. The pooled odds ratios for survival and postoperative complications, with 95% confidence intervals, were generated using Review manager 5.3. Results A total of ten retrospective studies were eligible for this meta-analysis, including a total of 2,643 non-small cell lung cancer patients. All reviews used skeletal muscle mass as a diagnostic tool for sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was associated with worse survival outcomes and increased postoperative complications in patients with resected lung cancer. Conclusions Sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for postoperative death and postoperative complications in patients who have undergone surgery. It is necessary to explore the mechanism of sarcopenia and optimal intervention, such as exercise, nutrition, or drug therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate the prevalence and predictive variables of sarcopenia. METHODS We recruited participants from the Peking Union Medical College Hospital Multicenter Prospective Longitudinal Sarcopenia Study (PPLSS). Muscle mass was quantified using bioimpedance, and muscle function was quantified using grip strength and gait speed. Logistic regression revealed the relationships between sarcopenia and nutritional, lifestyle, disease, psychosocial and physical variables. RESULTS The prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity was 9.2%-16.2% and 0.26%-9.1%, respectively. Old age, single status, undernourishment, higher income, smoking, low physical activity, poor appetite and low protein diets were significantly associated with sarcopenia. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age was a risk factor for all stages of sarcopenia, and participants above 80 years were greater than fivefold more susceptible to sarcopenia, while lower physical activity was an independent risk factor. The optimal cut-off value for age was 71 years, which departs from the commonly accepted cut-off of 60 years. Female participants were greater than twofold less susceptible to sarcopenia than male participants. The sterol derivative 25-hydroxyvitamin D was associated with fourfold lower odds of sarcopenia in male participants. Several protein intake variables were also correlated with sarcopenia. Based on these parameters, we defined a highly predictive index for sarcopenia. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support a predictive index of sarcopenia, which agglomerates the complex influences that sterol metabolism and nutrition exert on male vs female participants.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sarcopenia has been reported to be associated with higher mortality and increased toxicity of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. However, evidence from Asian countries is scarce. Here, we investigated the association between sarcopenia and the frequency of severe laboratory adverse events due to perioperative chemotherapy in Japanese breast cancer patients. METHODS Eighty-two patients with breast cancer receiving perioperative epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide therapy were evaluated. Skeletal muscle of the cross-sectional area at the third lumbar vertebra was measured by computed tomography, and sarcopenia was defined as skeletal muscle index < 40 cm2/m2. Laboratory toxicity during all cycles of perioperative chemotherapy was assessed. The study endpoint was the frequency of severe (grade 3 or more) laboratory adverse events. RESULTS Overall, 10 patients (12.2%) were classified as sarcopenic. The frequency of severe laboratory adverse events was 28.0%, and this was significantly higher in sarcopenic patients compared to non-sarcopenic patients (70% vs. 22.2%, odds ratio 7.9 (95% CI, 1.6-52.8), p = 0.004). Neither of body weight, body mass index, area of visceral adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue, nor skeletal muscle density was significantly associated with the frequency of severe laboratory adverse events. CONCLUSION Sarcopenia was a significant risk factor of severe laboratory toxicity in breast cancer patients receiving perioperative epirubicin plus cyclophosphamide therapy. This finding raises the potential use of body composition assessment to predict the risk of chemotherapy toxicity and determine an individualized treatment strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, is an enormous health problem in an aging world because of its many clinical and societal adverse effects. The uncovering of healthy dietary patterns is an important strategy to prevent or delay sarcopenia. We used K-means clustering to identify subgroups of men and women based on nutritional and health-related factors and investigated risk factors for low muscle mass in the subgroups and in the study population as a whole. METHODS We analyzed a total 10,863 participants over 40 years of age who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2008 to 2011. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to determine the appendicular lean mass (ALM) of the participants. Participants with low ALM adjusted BMI (ALM/BMI) were then identified using the criteria of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health sarcopenia project. K-means clustering and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze associations between nutritional and health-related variables and low ALM/BMI in the population as a whole and in the individual clusters. RESULTS A total of 712 (15.8%) men and 869 (13.7%) women had low ALM/BMI. Five clusters were identified in men and women, respectively. Two clusters of men and one cluster of women exhibited an increased risk of low ALM/BMI. Old age, low total energy intake, low levels of physical activity, and a high number of chronic diseases were consistent risk factors for low ALM/BMI in all Korean men and women. Low protein was a common risk factor for low ALM/BMI in men. After dividing all subjects by the K-means clustering algorithm, two risk factors (high fat intake and smoking) and four factors (low intakes of carbohydrate, protein and fat, and high alcohol consumption) were additionally proposed in Korean men and women, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Age, low total energy intake, low level of physical activity, and an increased number of chronic diseases were consistent risk factors for low ALM/BMI in men and women. Cluster-specific risk factors were also noted in men and women.

Abstract
Numerous studies have shown that changes in the epigenome are an important cause of human biochemical or metabolic parameter changes. Biochemical/metabolic parameter disorders of the human body are usually closely related to the occurrence of disease. Therefore, constructing credible DNA methylation site-biochemical/metabolic parameter associations are key in interpreting the pathogenesis of diseases. However, there is a lack of research on systematic integration analysis of DNA methylation with biochemical/metabolic parameter and diseases. In this study, we attempted to use the four-people, multiple time point detected data from the long-term isolation experiment to conduct a correlation analysis. We used the biclustering algorithm FABIA to cluster the DNA methylation site-parameter correlation matrixes into 28 biclusters. The results of the biological function analysis for these biclusters were consistent with the biochemical/metabolic parameter change characteristics of the human body during long-term isolation, demonstrating the reliability of the biclusters identified by our method. In addition, from these biclusters, we obtained highly credible biochemical/metabolic parameter-disease associations, which is supported by several studies. Our results indicate that there is an overlap of biochemical/metabolic parameter-disease associations derived from a small sample, multiple time point data in healthy populations and the associations obtained from a large sample data in patients during disease development. These findings provide insights into understanding the role of the epigenome in biochemical/metabolic parameter change and disease development and has potential applications in biology and medicine research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass and muscular functioning. Although sarcopenia prevalence is highly variable in the literature, pre-chemotherapy sarcopenia prevalence was not well studied in newly diagnosed cancer patients. In this context, the present study aims to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and its related factors in this population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospectively, newly diagnosed cancer patients were evaluated for body composition measurement and muscle strength by employing the bioelectric impedance analysis method and handgrip dynamometer tool. RESULTS A total of 461 patients were included in the study. The median age of patients was 59 years (range 18-83) and 258 patients (56%) were women. Sarcopenia was present in 77 patients (16.7%) and was at significantly higher frequencies in men (p = 0.015), advanced age (≥ 65 years, p = 0.014), lower body mass index (BMI < 25, p = < 0.001), and poor performance status (ECOG status > 0, p = 0.026). In multivariate analyses, advanced age (over 65 years), gender (men), and lower body mass index (BMI < 25) were significantly associated with sarcopenia (p values 0.033, < 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Our study is the first prevalence study conducted with bioelectric impedance analysis on Turkish cancer patients and sarcopenia was detected to be notably prevalent among our patients with newly diagnosed cancer. Given the likely negative outcomes of sarcopenia reported in the literature (treatment failure, increased complications, and impaired survival), it is important to know the presence of sarcopenia before treatment and take preventive precautions.
