Associations Between Exercise Training, Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour and Mortality: An Umbrella Review of Meta-Analyses.

Numerous studies support the association of exercise training, physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) with both mortality and morbidity outcomes. The results across studies have been inconsistent, and no umbrella reviews have yet been conducted on this topic. We...

The association between sarcopenic obesity and malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults.

The increase in fat tissue and the decrease in muscle mass with advancing age have prompted researchers to explore the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, i.e. sarcopenic obesity (SO). SO may lead to malnutrition due to poor diet quality, while...

Early Administration of Bosentan in High-Risk COVID-19 Outpatients at Risk of Sarcopenia: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Endothelial damage induces myofibrillar breakdown and muscle degradation in COVID-19 infection. There is a relationship between increased endothelin-1 synthesis and sarcopenia. We evaluated the preventive effect of early bosentan therapy as an endothelin receptor blocker in sarcopenia in high-risk outpatients...

Body Composition and Intradialytic Exercise in Kidney Disease: A Combined Analysis of the PEDAL and CYCLE-HD Randomised Controlled Trials.

Haemodialysis patients are at high risk of myopenic obesity, necessitating effective nutritional status monitoring and intervention strategies. This combined analysis of two clinical trials (PEDAL trial and CYCLE-HD study) aimed to (i) determine the clinical utility of body mass index...

Zinc Alleviates Diabetic Muscle Atrophy via Modulation of the SIRT1/FoxO1 Autophagy Pathway Through GPR39.

Muscle atrophy is a severe complication of diabetes, with autophagy playing a critical role in its progression. Zinc has been shown to alleviate hyperglycaemia and several diabetes-related complications, but its direct role in mediating diabetic muscle atrophy remains unclear. This...

BIO101 in Sarcopenic Seniors at Risk of Mobility Disability: Results of a Double-Blind Randomised Interventional Phase 2b Trial.

Sarcopenia is a progressive muscle disorder that may lead to mobility disability. No pharmaceutical interventions are currently available, and treatment relies on physical exercise and nutrition. The aim of SARA-INT was to investigate whether BIO101 (20-hydroxyecdysone), an activator of the...

Assessing sarcopenia: The JOHAS (Judgment of Objective Hyper-steatosis and Atrophy in Sarcopenia) index as a pragmatic surrogate for skeletal muscle index by bioimpedance analysis.

The aim of this study was to develop a new, less cumbersome index for determining sarcopenia using axial slice images from computed tomography (CT) as a surrogate for the skeletal muscle index (SMI) measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). We...

Detrimental Effects of ฮฒ2-Microglobulin on Muscle Metabolism: Evidence From Inย Vitro, Animal and Human Research.

ฮฒ2-Microglobulin (B2M) has garnered considerable interest as a potential pro-ageing factor, leading to speculation about its involvement in muscle metabolism and the development of sarcopenia, a key component of ageing phenotypes. To explore this hypothesis, we conducted a comprehensive investigation...

Deep Learning Technique for Automatic Segmentation of Proximal Hip Musculoskeletal Tissues From CT Scan Images: A MrOS Study.

Age-related conditions, such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia, alongside chronic diseases, can result in significant musculoskeletal tissue loss. This impacts individuals' quality of life and increases risk of falls and fractures. Computed tomography (CT) has been widely used for assessing musculoskeletal...

Multicomponent Interventions for Adults With Cancer Cachexia: A Systematic Review.

Cancer cachexia has substantial impacts on people's quality of life. There is no current gold standard treatment, but the complex pathophysiology of cachexia suggests that a multitargeted and individualised treatment approach is needed. We aimed to evaluate the extent to...

Nutritional intake as a determinant of high-speed resistance and multicomponent training efficacy on strength in older women at risk of sarcopenia. A randomized clinical trial.

Low-Carbohydrate Diet Exacerbates Denervation-Induced Atrophy of Rat Skeletal Muscle Under the Condition of Identical Protein Intake.

While decreased protein intake is associated with muscle mass loss, it is unclear whether a decrease in carbohydrate intake adversely affects muscle atrophy independently of protein intake. Herein, we examined whether a low-carbohydrate (low-CHO) diet exacerbates denervation-induced muscle atrophy under...
