Identification of Sarcopenic Obesity by Fat-to-Muscle Ratio in Older Adults: A Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND

The diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity has been established in Europe and Japan, but screening tools remain inconsistent and lack standardization. The fat-to-muscle ratio (FMR) is a potential screening measure for sarcopenic obesity; however, its diagnostic accuracy compared with other tools...

Interactions between bone density and muscle mass in predicting all-cause mortality: a 10-year prospective cohort study of 1388 older men (aged 77-101 years).

Low bone density and low muscle mass are both independent risk factors for mortality in older men. However, it is unknown if these tissues interact to increase mortality risk. Elucidating this information is important as bone and muscle are modifiable...

A serum creatinine-cystatin C-derived index as a predictive marker for sarcopenia incidence and progression in community-dwelling older adults: a prospective cohort study.

Identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia incidence or progression remains challenging. Serum creatinine- and cystatin C-derived indices are objective markers of muscle metabolism; however, their predictive value for sarcopenia progression remains uncertain. This study evaluated the association between a creatinine-...
