Bioelectrical impedance analysis for sarcopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy.

To evaluate the diagnostic performance of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) for detecting sarcopenia across diverse populations. We conducted a search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science up to 2 January 2024. Cross-sectional, retrospective, and prospective cohort studies evaluating BIA's...

Altered Relaxation and Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contacts Precede Major (Mal)Adaptations in Aging Skeletal Muscle and Are Prevented by Exercise.

Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle dysfunction, contributes to morbidity and mortality. Besides decreases in muscle force, sarcopenia is associated with atrophy and fast-to-slow fiber type switching, which is typically secondary to denervation in humans and rodents. However, very little is known...

Sarcosine decreases in sarcopenia and enhances muscle regeneration and adipose thermogenesis by activating anti-inflammatory macrophages.

Age-related changes in circulating metabolites influence systemic physiology and may contribute to diseases such as sarcopenia. Although metabolic dysregulation is closely linked to sarcopenia, the roles of specific metabolites remain unclear. In this study, we performed comprehensive plasma metabolomic and...

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...

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....
