Staying informed on the latest in cachexia, sarcopenia, and wasting disorders research is essential yet challenging. The SCWD Digest offers concise updates and expert insights into significant studies and developments. We highlight and link directly to leading research, making it easier for healthcare professionals to access and apply groundbreaking findings. Our goal: empower the medical community to advance patient care worldwide efficiently.
This pilot study compared serum metabolites in participants with and without sarcopenia. Metabolomic techniques were applied to identify serum metabolites and novel biomarkers specific to patients with sarcopenia. In accordance with AWGS2019 criteria, sarcopenia was defined as low muscle mass...
This study aimed to determine whether changes in phase angle during rehabilitation are associated with clinical outcomes such as activities of daily living (ADL), skeletal muscle index (SMI), and strength in patients with osteoporotic fractures. This retrospective observational study included...
The aim is to examine the prevalence and prognosis of cachexia according to the Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) criteria in patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 271 patients diagnosed with sarcopenic dysphagia out...
: Cardiac cachexia (CC) in chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is characterized by catabolism and inflammation predicting poor prognosis. Levels of responsible transcription factors like signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)1, STAT3, suppressor of cytokine signaling...
Existing literature suggests that sarcopenia is a highly prevalent condition in older people. However, most studies to date reporting data on its prevalence have been mainly carried out in Western countries, while data on sarcopenia in Africa is scarce. With...

This study aimed to determine factors associated with multimodal care practices for cancer cachexia among registered dietitians (RDs) working in cancer care. A secondary analysis was performed using RDs' data. Data on knowledge, skills, and confidence in multimodal care were...
It is unknown to what extent the fluid retention (FR) status disrupts the detection of weight loss rate (WLR) in adult patients with advanced cancer. This study aimed to determine the association of FR status with WLR. This study was...
The international cancer cachexia criteria with a cutoff of 5% weight loss (WL) was proposed in Western patients. The Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) developed new criteria in Asian patients. The AWGC criteria are not cancer-specific and employ a...
Sarcopenia is associated with a decreased kinetic growth rate (KGR) of the future liver remnant (FLR) after portal vein embolization (PVE). However, little is known on the increase in FLR function (FLRF) after PVE. This study evaluated the effect of...

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a frequent phenotype in people with obesity; however, it is unclear whether this links with an impaired bone status. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between SO and low bone mass, and to...
Among patients with advanced NSCLC, there is a group of patients with synchronous oligometastatic disease (sOMD), defined as a limited number of metastases detected at the time of diagnosis. As cachexia and sarcopenia are linked to poor survival, incorporating this...
Cachexia, a systemic wasting condition, is considered a late consequence of diseases, including cancer, organ failure, or infections, and contributes to significant morbidity and mortality. The induction process and mechanistic progression of cachexia are incompletely understood. Refocusing academic efforts away...
Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in individuals with non-small cell lung cancer. Key features of CAC include alterations in body composition and body weight. Here, we explore the association between body composition and body...
Cachexia is a debilitating wasting syndrome and highly prevalent comorbidity in cancer patients. It manifests especially with energy and mitochondrial metabolism aberrations that promote tissue wasting. We recently identified nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) loss to associate with muscle mitochondrial dysfunction...
This study investigates multimodal interventions for older adults with frailty and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), focusing on the effects of physical, nutritional, and educational strategies on improving functional performance. Involving 843 individuals aged 70+, findings highlight improved mobility, especially gait speed, linked to adherence and baseline health. Published in 'Age and Ageing', the research by Alvarez-Bustos A, Laosa O, Marzetti E, et al., emphasizes tailored interventions' importance for T2DM and frailty in the elderly.
This research uncovers the clinical significance of the C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI) in predicting survival outcomes in cancer cachexia (CC). Demonstrating superior predictive accuracy over CRP or TyG indices alone, the study reveals CTI's correlation with increased mortality risks and its potential to refine patient management strategies in CC. Published in 'Cancer and Metabolism', January 2024, by Ruan GT, Deng L, Xie HL, et al., this work highlights CTI's pivotal role in enhancing prognosis and guiding treatment in CC.
