3D Body Scanning-Derived Normative Values of Appendicular Circumferences: A Novel Tool for Sarcopenia Screening in Chinese Adults.

BACKGROUND

Appendicular circumferences (ACs) are critical predictors of skeletal health, cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. Currently, comprehensive reference values and associated factors for thigh (TC), calf (CC), upper arm (UAC) and forearm (FC) circumferences remain unestablished in Chinese adults.

METHODS

This community-based cross-sectional...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and sarcopenia-related markers in diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

AIMS

GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are first-line therapies for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) due to their additional weight-lowering and cardiovascular benefits. However, their impact on muscle mass is debated, posing a concern for sarcopenia in older adults with T2DM. This systematic...

High Loss of Adipose Tissue During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Predicts Poor Prognosis in Patients With Gastric Cancer.

BACKGROUND

Gastric cancer (GC) patients often have nutritional risks or malnutrition, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) tends to exacerbate malnutrition. Body composition parameters are associated with the prognosis of GC patients. Little is known about body composition changes during NAC and its...

3D deep learning-based muscle volume quantification from thoracic CT as a surrogate for DXA-Derived appendicular muscle mass in older adults.

BACKGROUND

In order to identify patients with sarcopenia, the use of routine imaging could provide valuable support. One of the most common radiological examinations, especially in geriatric inpatient care, is CT thoracic imaging. Therefore, it would be desirable to generate muscle...

Sarcopenia and gender disparities in liver transplant waiting lists: evaluating predictive scores and delisting risks.

BACKGROUND

The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and model for end-stage liver disease-sodium (MELD-Na) scores are the most widely used for prioritizing patients on the liver transplant (LT) waiting list. However, the quality and accuracy of these scores are questionable....

Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Radiation Attenuation Is Associated With Increased 1-Year Mortality in Polytrauma Patients.

BACKGROUND

Polytrauma patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS)โ€‰โ‰ฅโ€‰16 have a high mortality rate. Early identification of patients at risk of mortality is key. Different risk stratification models are available; however, body composition on third lumbar computed tomography (L3 CT) is...

Body composition in patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: A comparison study.

Appendicular lean mass index is a major determinant of cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Moreover, appendicular lean mass index can be used to diagnose sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in this population. We...
