Osteosarcopenic obesity: A systematic review and a call for consensus on definitions and diagnostic criteria.

Osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) is a clinical and functional condition characterized by the coexistence of osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity (excess adiposity). Currently, the lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria and cut-off values complicates prevalence estimates and limits its potential role as...

Sarcopenic obesity and the risk of atrial fibrillation in non-diabetic older adults: A prospective cohort study.

Evidence of an association between sarcopenic obesity (SO) and the risk of long-term atrial fibrillation (AF) is lacking, and the underlying involvement of insulin resistance (IR) and inflammation is not clear. This community-based prospective cohort study evaluated sarcopenia, obesity, and...

Efficacy of nutrient supplements in managing malnutrition and sarcopenia in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

COPD patients suffering from malnutrition or sarcopenia often incur higher healthcare costs and experience adverse clinical outcomes. Despite this, the effectiveness of nutrient supplements in this population remains uncertain. Two reviewers will independently search seven databases-PubMed, Embase, Web of Science,...

Polymorphism (rs1143634) and IL-1ฮฒ Plasma Concentration as Predictors of Nutritional Disorders and Prognostic Factors in Multiple Myeloma Patients.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological neoplasm of the early precursor of B-cells. The most characteristic symptoms observed during MM include hypocalcemia, anemia, bacterial infections, and renal damage. Nutritional disorders, especially malnutrition, are noted in about 35-71% of MM patients....
