Associations of length of stay with sarcopenia parameters in geriatric patients: age and sex differences in the oldest old.

BACKGROUND

Hospital-associated deconditioning is a contributor to secondary sarcopenia, which may be driven by prolonged hospital length of stay (LoS). This study investigated the bidirectional association of LoS and sarcopenia indices (lean soft tissue, muscle strength, physical function) in older inpatients,...

Adherence to Physical Activity and Incident Mobility Disability in Older Adults With Mobility Limitations.

Preservation of mobility independence is a primary goal in older adults with physical frailty and sarcopenia (PF&S). Interventions based on the combination of physical activity (PA) and nutritional counselling have been indicated as strategies for the management of this condition,...

Plasma Extracellular Vesicles Biomarkers Linked to Lower Muscle Mass, Function and Physical Performance in Sarcopenia.

As society ages, identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia becomes essential. Several plasma biomarkers are used to assess musculoskeletal status, but their results are inconsistent. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are investigated as disease biomarkers due to their role in transporting molecules...

Longitudinal Cohort Study Investigating Fall Risk Across Diverse Muscle Health Statuses Among Older People in the Community.

Falls constitute a significant public health concern among older adults, particularly those with diminished muscle health integrity. The relative contributions of reduced muscle mass versus impaired muscle function to fall risk remain debated. Discrepant conclusions in previous studies exist due...

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...

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...

Sarcopenia and Insulin Resistance Collective Effect on Atrial Fibrillation Risk: A Non-Diabetic Elderly Cohort Study.

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,...

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...

Association of Muscle Strength With All-Cause Mortality in the Oldest Old: Prospective Cohort Study From 28 Countries.

Ageing is associated with a gradual loss of muscle strength, which in the end may have consequences for survival. Whether muscle strength and mortality risk associate in a gradual or threshold-specific manner remains unclear. This study investigates the prospective association...
