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...
Mitochondrial pathways and sarcopenia in the geroscience era.
Sarcopenia is associated with structural, ultrastructural, and molecular abnormalities of skeletal muscle. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a pivotal factor involved in muscle aging and sarcopenia. Mitochondrial bioenergetics are significantly reduced in muscles of older adults which is associated with whole-body aerobic...
Sarcopenia.
Sarcopenia is the accelerated loss of skeletal muscle mass and function commonly, but not exclusively, associated with advancing age. It is observed across many species including humans in whom it can lead to decline in physical function and mobility as...
Metabolomic analysis of dietary-restriction-induced attenuation of sarcopenia in prematurely aging DNA repair-deficient mice.
Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, and is a major risk factor for disability and independence in the elderly. Effective medication is not available. Dietary restriction (DR) has been found to attenuate aging and aging-related...
Cross-sectional interactive associations of physical activity and sedentary behaviour with physical capacity across adulthood.
The way physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) independently and interactively modify the age-related decline in physical capacity remains poorly understood. This cross-sectional study investigated the independent and interactive associations of PA and SB with physical function and performance...
Leukocyte telomere length is associated with MRI-thigh fat-free muscle volume: data from 16 356 UK Biobank adults.
Telomere attrition may share common biological mechanisms with bone and muscle loss with aging. Here, we investigated the association between these hallmarks of aging using data from UK Biobank, a large observational study. Leukocyte telomere length (LTL as T/S ratio)...
Effect of Bimagrumab on body composition: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Sarcopenia, a condition marked by progressive muscle mass and function decline, presents significant challenges in aging populations and those with chronic illnesses. Current standard treatments such as dietary interventions and exercise programs are often unsustainable. There is increasing interest in...
Sex difference, proteostasis and mitochondrial function impact stroke-related sarcopenia-A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The prevalence of stroke-related sarcopenia has been noted; however, epidemiological data and interventions that increase or reduce the incidence of stroke-related sarcopenia remain lacking. Studies on stroke-related sarcopenia were included in association or interventional analyses. All analyses were performed using...
Immunomodulation: A new approach to cancer cachexia, potentially suitable for aging.
Cancer cachexia is the prototypical example of comorbidity, occurring in most of cancer patients. It is a direct consequence of tumor growth and of the associated inflammatory/immune response. Cachexia can be exacerbated by anti-cancer therapies, frequently resulting in dose limitation...
The Evolving Landscape of Sarcopenia in Asia: A Systematic review and meta-analysis following the 2019 Asian working group for sarcopenia (AWGS) diagnostic criteria.
Sarcopenia, characterized by age-related loss of muscle mass and function, poses a significant public health concern, particularly in Asia's rapidly aging population. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the current epidemiology of sarcopenia in Asia using the 2019...
Effects of sarcopenia on changes in prevalence of patients with depressive mood during hospitalization in geriatric rehabilitation.
The effect of sarcopenia on depressive mood during geriatric rehabilitation remains unclear. This study investigated the potential influence of sarcopenia on depressive mood among geriatric patients in a rehabilitation setting. This observational cohort study enrolled 204 patients aged โฅ65 years...
Survey on the knowledge and practices in anorexia of aging diagnosis and management in Japan.
Anorexia of aging (AA) is a condition in older adults that includes loss of appetite and reduced food intake. There is a lack of detailed analysis of the potential influence of educational initiatives in addressing AA. This study aimed to...
An executive summary on the Global conceptual definition of Sarcopenia.
The BET inhibitor JQ1 targets fat metabolism and counteracts obesity.
Obesity, one of the most frequent health problems in the adult population, is a condition characterized by excessive white adipose tissue accumulation and accompanied by the increased risk to develop other disorders such as type II diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, physical...
