Associations of Serum Lipid Traits With Fracture and Osteoporosis: A Prospective Cohort Study From the UK Biobank.

Previous studies reveal inconsistent associations between serum lipid traits and the risks of fractures and osteoporosis in the general population. This prospective cohort study analysed data from 414 302 UK Biobank participants (223 060 women and 191 242 men, aged 37-73 years) with serum...

Prognostic Value of Systemic Inflammation, Nutritional Status and Sarcopenia in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Nutritional status, systemic inflammatory responses and muscle mass are associated with the prognosis of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). However, the optimal biomarker for predicting prognosis remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the optimal indicators of survival among...

Heat exposure promotes sarcopenia via gut microbiota-derived metabolites.

The unprecedented rise in global ambient temperatures in the last decade has significantly impacted human health, yet how heat exposure affects the development of sarcopenia remains enigmatic. Here, we demonstrate that chronic heat exposure induces skeletal muscle volume loss, leading...

Body composition derangements in lung cancer patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab: A multicentre observational study.

While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly reshaping the therapeutic landscape of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only a limited proportion of patients achieve a relevant and long-lasting benefit with these treatments, calling for the identification of clinical and, ideally modifiable,...

Nutrition in the prevention and treatment of skeletal muscle ageing and sarcopenia: a single nutrient, a whole food, and a whole diet approach.

Loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia) is common in older adults and associated with an increased risk of disability, frailty, and premature death. Finding cost-effective prevention and treatment strategies for sarcopenia for the growing ageing population is therefore...

Durable Muscle Extracellular Matrix Engineered with Adhesive Phenolic Moieties for Effective Skeletal Muscle Regeneration in Muscle Atrophy.

Muscle atrophy detrimentally impacts health and exacerbates physical disability, leading to increased mortality. In particular, sarcopenia, aging-related degenerative muscle loss, necessitates urgent remedies. Current approaches for treating muscle atrophy include exercise and nutrition, while drug exploration remains in its early...

Rodent model intervention for prevention and optimal management of sarcopenia: A systematic review on the beneficial effects of nutrients & non-nutrients and exercise to improve skeletal muscle health.

Sarcopenia is a common musculoskeletal disorder characterized by degenerative processes and is strongly linked to an increased susceptibility to falls, fractures, physical limitations, and mortality. Several models have been used to explore therapeutic and preventative measures as well as to...

Muscle Mass and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: Adaptive or Maladaptive Response to Weight Loss?

Recent studies have shown that pharmacologic weight loss with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and combination therapies is approaching magnitudes achieved with surgery. However, as more weight loss is achieved, there is concern for potential adverse effects on muscle...

Nutritional strategies for improving sarcopenia outcomes in older adults: A narrative review.

Sarcopenia is characterized by a decline in muscle strength, generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass, and impaired physical performance, which are common outcomes used to screen, diagnose, and determine severity of sarcopenia in older adults. These outcomes are associated with...

Masseter Muscle Volume and Its Association with Sarcopenia and Muscle Determinants in Older Japanese Adults: the Bunkyo Health Study.

Sarcopenia has been with a decrease in masseter muscle (MM) thickness in high-risk older populations. However, the relationship between sarcopenia and determinants of MM volume (MMV) in the general elderly population remains unclear. In a cross-sectional study of 1,484 older...
