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.
Despite advances in research on training and nutritional supplementation, it is largely unknown how micronutrient intake modulates the response to training in older adults. This study investigates the relationship between nutrient intake and response to training in older women at...
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...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an oral nutritional supplement (ONS) enriched with hydroxy-methyl-butyrate (HMB) in subjects with disease-related malnutrition (DRM) and to monitor these effects with an ultrasound Imaging System, based on artificial intelligence, in a real-world...

Cancer cachexia presents a significant challenge, but the ghrelin agonist anamorelin shows promise as a potential treatment. This study examined whether the baseline systemic inflammatory response (SIR) (measured by the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score [mGPS]), low BMI or greater weight...

CT-based body composition analysis (BCA) enables the extraction of biomarkers from routine CT data. The influence of body composition on the prognosis of different patient groups has been highlighted in recent years. Typically, the segmentation of muscle and fat compartments...

Aging-related sarcopenia represents a significant health concern due to its impact on the quality of life in the elderly. This study elucidates the molecular mechanisms underlying sarcopenia by employing single-cell sequencing and public transcriptome databases to compare young and aged...

Osteosarcopenia refers to the co-occurrence of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, which are characterized by progressive bone density and muscle mass loss, respectively. Muscle and bone are regulated by many common genes and pathways, enabling potential co-treatment. Because keratocan protects against osteoporosis,...

Obesity is common in the heart failure (HF) population and is regarded as an important risk factor for developing HF. Greater skeletal muscle mass has shown to be the underlying protective factor against cardiac failure. Since diabetic mellitus (DM) can...
Cachexia is a clinically challenging multifactorial and multi-organ syndrome, associated with poor outcome in cancer patients, and characterised by inflammation, wasting and loss of appetite. The syndrome leads to central nervous system (CNS) function dysregulation and to neuroinflammation; nevertheless, the...

The study aimed to investigate whether the associations of accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) vary based on different levels of hand grip strength, identifying the modifying role of grip strength in...

Patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have elevated late-night cortisol levels and a flattened circadian rhythm. Cortisol oversecretion mediates muscle breakdown and reduces muscle strength and mass, thus possibly leading to sarcopenia. This study first investigated the association between...

Although the role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in muscle mass and strength is well established, the effects of vitamin D (VD) on muscle remain controversial due to various factors. Herein, the influence of sex on the effects of VD...

Appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), a crucial indicator of sarcopenia and estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a surrogate marker of insulin resistance (IR), are associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases. However, it remains unclear whether the collective effects,...

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is prominently involved in the tumour microenvironment and tissue remodelling processes in most cancers, and its expression is also noted in normal skeletal muscle. This study aims to explore the relationship between FAP expression and age-related...
