Effects of digital-based interventions on the outcomes of the eligibility criteria for sarcopenia in healthy older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

While the digital-based interventions targeting older adults to prevent age-related health problems such as sarcopenia have grown rapidly in recent years, there are no meta-analyses indicating synthesized pooled estimates. To examine the effects of digital-based interventions on sarcopenia-related measures, including...

The microbiota-derived bile acid taurodeoxycholic acid improves hepatic cholesterol levels in mice with cancer cachexia.

Alterations in bile acid profile and pathways contribute to hepatic inflammation in cancer cachexia, a syndrome worsening the prognosis of cancer patients. As the gut microbiota impinges on host metabolism through bile acids, the current study aimed to explore the...

Body composition alterations in patients with lung cancer.

Most patients with lung cancer experience cancer cachexia (CC), a syndrome of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue wasting. Knowledge of body composition changes in patients is limited, however, because most studies have been cross-sectional, comparing patients with non-cancer controls or...

Prevalence of Cachexia and Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Diseases: A National Database Analysis of 5 484 103 Hospitalisations.

Cachexia is a frequent companion of chronic diseases and a well-established predictor of poor patient performance and outcome. Since cachexia as a discharge diagnosis is not much investigated, we aimed to investigate prevalence of cachexia in hospitalised patients and their...

Weight and Blood-Based Markers of Cachexia Predict Disability, Hospitalization and Worse Survival in Cancer Immunotherapy Patients.

Cancer-associated cachexia can inhibit immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy efficacy. Cachexia's effect on ICI therapy has not been studied in large cohorts of cancer patients aside from lung cancer. We studied associations between real-world routinely collected clinical cachexia markers and...

Long-Term Impact of Physical Activity on Mortality in Adults With Multimorbidity: A 12-Year Cohort Longitudinal Study From the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe.

While physical activity (PA) is known to reduce mortality in the general population, this relationship in individuals with multimorbidity (≥ 2 chronic conditions) is unclear. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate whether there is a long-term association between PA levels and...

Multiomics Analysis Reveals Therapeutic Targets for Chronic Kidney Disease With Sarcopenia.

The presence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with poor prognosis. The mechanism underlying CKD-induced muscle wasting has not yet been fully explored. This study investigates the influence of renal secretions on muscles using multiomics...

Targeting Drug Delivery System to Skeletal Muscles: A Comprehensive Review of Different Approaches.

The skeletal muscle is one of the largest organs in the body and is responsible for the mechanical activity required for posture, movement and breathing. The effects of current pharmaceutical therapies for skeletal muscle diseases are far from satisfactory; approximately...

Multi-omic profiling of sarcopenia identifies disrupted branched-chain amino acid catabolism as a causal mechanism and therapeutic target.

Sarcopenia is a geriatric disorder characterized by a gradual loss of muscle mass and function. Despite its prevalence, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, and there are currently no approved treatments. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of the...

Dynapenia and Sarcopenia as Risk Factors for Mortality in Interstitial Lung Disease.

Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Patients often exhibit impaired nutritional status and alterations in body composition, such as dynapenia and sarcopenia, which correlate with poor pulmonary function, reduced exercise tolerance and diminished quality...

Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial and Autophagic Dysregulation Are Modifiable in Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a health- and life-limiting neuromuscular disorder. Although varying degrees of mitochondrial abnormalities have been documented in SMA skeletal muscle, the influence of disease progression on pathways that govern organelle turnover and dynamics are poorly understood....

Rapid Quantitative Assessment of Muscle Sodium Dynamics After Exercise Using Na-MRI in Dysferlinopathy and Healthy Controls.

Dysferlin plays a key role in cell membrane repair; its absence or malfunction in patients with dysferlin-deficient limb girdle muscular dystrophy leads to muscle fibre death. Muscle magnetic resonance (MR) imaging allows non-invasive and repeatable measurements that can report on...

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Acetylation Mediating Muscle Dysfunction Contributes to Sleep Apnoea in Obesity.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) occurs frequently among individuals with obesity, which is attributed to upper airway muscle dysfunction. Muscle function is regulated by the dynamic balance of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its reduced form (NADH), which is controlled...

Melatonin Ameliorates Age-Related Sarcopenia via the Gut-Muscle Axis Mediated by Serum Lipopolysaccharide and Metabolites.

Sarcopenia affects the quality of life and increases adverse outcomes in the elderly. However, as a potential safe and effective remedy to many age-related disorders, little is known about the protective effect of melatonin against sarcopenia, especially the underlying mechanisms...

Disrupted methionine cycle triggers muscle atrophy in cancer cachexia through epigenetic regulation of REDD1.

The essential amino acid methionine plays a pivotal role in one-carbon metabolism, facilitating the production of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a critical supplier for DNA methylation and thereby a modulator of gene expression. Here, we report that the methionine cycle is disrupted...
