Sarcopenia, Muscle Mass and Protein Intake in Adults Older Than 65 Years After Earlier Bariatric Surgery.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a proven treatment for obesity. Yet weight loss is accompanied by loss of muscle which may predispose to sarcopenia. The prevalence of low muscle mass in older adults after MBS remains unexplored, even though...

Androgen Deprivation Therapy-Induced Muscle Loss and Fat Gain Predict Cardiovascular Events in Prostate Cancer Patients.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with prostate cancer. ADT can induce body composition change; however, the association between body composition change and cardiovascular outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the...

Sarcopenia

Sarcopenic obesity defined by Japanese Working Group on Sarcopenic Obesity in post-stroke inpatients: prevalence and clinical implications.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is characterized by the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, associated with adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SO as defined by the recently published Japanese Working Group on Sarcopenic Obesity (JWGSO) criteria...

Weight cycling and its effects on muscle mass, sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.

The prevalence of obesity is rising around the world, as the number of subjects dieting and experiencing weight loss followed by unintentional weight regain, the so-called weight cycling (WC). In this narrative review we sought to reveal the effects of...

Body Composition Assessment Provides Prognostic Information in Patients With Cancer Affected by Chronic Graft vs. Host Disease.

Additional tools are needed to assess mortality risk among patients with cancer. Patients with chronic graft vs. host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) represent a high-risk cancer population with mortality risk explained by cGVHD severity, but also...

Multimodal interventions for cachexia management.

Cachexia (disease-related wasting) is a complex metabolic syndrome which occurs in people with chronic illnesses, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, kidney disease, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). People with cachexia experience unintentional weight loss, muscle loss, fatigue, loss of...

Paradoxical Effect of Myosteatosis on the Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Response in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has shifted from tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapy, improving outcomes but with variable individual responses. This study investigated the prognostic implications of pretreatment low skeletal muscle mass...

The usefulness of the updated bioelectrical impedance vector analysis references for assessing malnutrition, sarcopenia and predicting mortality in hospitalized patients.

The application of validated pre-screening tools is crucial in clinical practice to identify patients at risk for disease. Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA) has gained recognition as a qualitative method for monitoring body composition and assessing the health status of...

Anamorelin Efficacy in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Patients With Cachexia: Insights From ROMANA 1 and ROMANA 2.

Cancer cachexia presents a significant challenge, but the ghrelin agonist anamorelin shows promise as a potential treatment. This study examined whether the baseline systemic inflammatory response (SIR) (measured by the modified Glasgow Prognostic Score [mGPS]), low BMI or greater weight...

Association of body composition with left ventricular remodeling and outcomes in diabetic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: assessment of sarcopenic obesity using cardiac MRI.

Obesity is common in the heart failure (HF) population and is regarded as an important risk factor for developing HF. Greater skeletal muscle mass has shown to be the underlying protective factor against cardiac failure. Since diabetic mellitus (DM) can...

Fat-Free Mass: Friend or Foe to Metabolic Health?

Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are body composition estimates commonly reported in research studies and clinical settings. Recently, fat-free mass indexed to height (fat-free mass index; FFMI) has been shown to be positively associated with impaired insulin sensitivity...
