Sarcopenia in Ageing and Chronic Illness: Trial Endpoints and Regulatory Issues.

In December 2024, the Society on Cachexia and Wasting Disorders (SCWD) hosted a Regulatory and Trial Update Workshop in Washington, D.C., bringing together experts from academia, industry, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This article summarizes key topics...

Enhancing Neurocognitive Health via Activity, Nutrition and Cognitive Exercise (ENHANCE): A Randomized Controlled Trial.

While multidomain interventions show promise for promoting healthy aging, their impact on brain structure remains unclear. This randomized controlled trial (ENHANCE) assessed the efficacy of a 12-month group-based multidomain intervention on brain structure and function in community-dwelling older adults, with...

Serum C-Terminal Agrin Fragment With Acute and Long-Term Exercise and Angiotensin II Type I Receptor Blockade.

Sarcopenia represents a major clinical and societal challenge facing rapidly aging populations. Accessible and specific biomarkers represent valuable tools, both in diagnosis and assessing the efficacy of therapeutic interventions. C-terminal agrin fragment (CAF) is the most commonly used blood-based biomarker...

Normative data for age-specific skeletal muscle area based on computed tomography in Korean population.

Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of muscle mass and function, increases health risks in older adults, especially in rapidly ageing populations like Korea. Computed tomography (CT) imaging at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level is a gold standard for assessing skeletal...

Osteosarcopenia and frailty risk in community-dwelling older adults: A follow-up of the I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study.

Osteosarcopenia is suggested to be on the causal pathway to frailty; however, data on this topic is scarce, and it is unclear if osteosarcopenia is associated with frailty risk. To investigate if osteosarcopenia is associated with frailty risk in community-dwelling...

Iron Metabolism and Muscle Aging: Where Ferritinophagy Meets Mitochondrial Quality Control.

In older adults with reduced physical performance, an increase in the labile iron pool within skeletal muscle is observed. This accumulation is associated with an altered expression of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) markers and increased mitochondrial DNA damage, supporting the...

Prevalence of sarcopenia in middle-aged and older adults with cognitive impairment: a meta-analysis.

Cognitive impairment, dementia and sarcopenia significantly reduce the quality of life in middle-aged and older adults by impairing daily functioning, making cognitive decline a major concern for healthcare professionals. To estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia and probable sarcopenia in middle-aged...

A Novel Research Paradigm for Sarcopenia of Limb Muscles: Lessons From the Perpetually Working Diaphragm's Anti-Aging Mechanisms.

Skeletal muscle function and mass continuously decrease during aging. Most studies target limb muscles owing to their direct impact on mobility and falls risk. The diaphragm (DIA), also a type of skeletal muscle with different phenotype, has received less attention....

Impact of Hospitalization on Sarcopenia, NADPH-Oxidase 2, Oxidative Stress, and Low-Grade Endotoxemia in Elderly Patients.

Hospitalization in older adults often worsens sarcopenia due to prolonged bed rest, poor nutrition, and inactivity. This study examined how hospitalization impacts muscle mass, focusing on oxidative stress and gut-derived endotoxemia. Thirty-one hospitalized older adults were compared with 31 outpatients....

Plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor concentrations are elevated in community-dwelling adults with sarcopenia.

The scalability of a blood-based sarcopenia assessment has generated interest in circulating markers that may enhance management strategies. Data regarding the relevance of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a regulator of neuroplasticity, to sarcopenia in community-dwelling adults are scarce. We...

Impact of physical activity on physical function, mitochondrial energetics, ROS production, and Ca handling across the adult lifespan in men.

Aging-related muscle atrophy and weakness contribute to loss of mobility, falls, and disability. Mitochondrial dysfunction is widely considered a key contributing mechanism to muscle aging. However, mounting evidence positions physical activity as a confounding factor, making unclear whether muscle mitochondria...

PrP Glycoprotein Is Indispensable for Maintenance of Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis During Aging.

The cellular prion protein (PrP), a glycoprotein encoded by the PRNP gene, is known to modulate muscle mass and exercise capacity. However, the role of PrP in the maintenance and regeneration of skeletal muscle during ageing remains unclear. This study...

Defective Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Accelerates Skeletal Muscle Aging by Impairing Autophagy/Myogenesis.

Regenerative capacity of skeletal muscles decreases with age. Deficiency in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is associated with skeletal muscle weakness as well as epithelial cell senescence. However, whether and how CFTR plays a role in skeletal muscle regeneration...
