Associations of length of stay with sarcopenia parameters in geriatric patients: age and sex differences in the oldest old.

BACKGROUND

Hospital-associated deconditioning is a contributor to secondary sarcopenia, which may be driven by prolonged hospital length of stay (LoS). This study investigated the bidirectional association of LoS and sarcopenia indices (lean soft tissue, muscle strength, physical function) in older inpatients,...

Associations of Body Composition and Physical Function With Incident Diabetes in Older Adults: A 14-Year Prospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND

Longitudinal associations between age-related changes in body composition, physical performance and incident diabetes mellitus (DM) in older adults and the mediating role of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) remain understudied.

METHODS

This prospective cohort study included 4000 community-dwelling older adults at baseline. Longitudinal...

Asian Reference Values for Handgrip Strength, Gait Speed, Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test, Muscle Mass and Calf Circumference.

BACKGROUND

Handgrip strength, gait speed, Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) performance, skeletal muscle mass and calf circumference are important health outcomes, particularly useful for diagnosing sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to establish reference (normative) values for handgrip strength, gait speed, FTSST...

Effect of host and gut microbiota-altering interventions on sarcopenia or its defining parameters: a systematic review and meta-analysis of nutrition-based intervention studies.

AIM

To investigate effects of host- and gut microbiota (GM)-altering interventions on sarcopenia (parameters).

METHODS

Upon PROSPERO registration (CRD42022347363), six databases and one registry were searched until January 5th 2024 and updated on June 10th 2025 for diet, pre-, pro-, or synbiotics mono-interventions...

Changes in Lean Muscle Mass, Muscle Strength, and Physical Performance Following First-Line Chemotherapy in Patients With Lymphoma.

Lymphomas are common cancers affecting the lymphatic system. Chemotherapy is a standard treatment, yet its impact on patient's physical capacity remains understudied. This study aimed to evaluate changes in body composition, muscle strength, and physical performance in patients diagnosed with...

Exogenous Nucleotides Supplementation Attenuates Age-Related Sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia, an age-related clinical syndrome characterized by reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength, often leads to a loss of physical function. Nucleotides (NTs) supplementation is a potential strategy for preventing age-related sarcopenia as evidence suggests that NTs declined in muscles...

The Interface of a Leaky Gut with Reduced Sarcopenia-Related Quality of Life (SarQoL) in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) frequently exhibit intestinal leaks and age-related muscle impairment, termed sarcopenia. The sarcopenia-related quality-of-life (SarQoL) is a tool to evaluate the quality of life of sarcopenic patients. However, the association of intestinal leak with...

Transcriptomic Signature of Frailty in Older Patients With Cardiovascular Disease Undergoing Cardiac Surgery or TAVI.

Deterioration of functional capacity mostly determinates frailty in older patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms of physical frailty is an important goal for improving functional health-related outcomes. Our objective was the determination of the transcriptomic signature of...

The Effect of Nicotinamide Mononucleotide and Riboside on Skeletal Muscle Mass and Function: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Sarcopenia is associated with the loss of skeletal muscle function and mass. Nicotinamide precursors, such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and nicotinamide riboside (NR), have received attention for their potential to improve NAD levels and mitigate age-related sarcopenia in preliminary models,...

Detrimental Effects of β2-Microglobulin on Muscle Metabolism: Evidence From In Vitro, Animal and Human Research.

β2-Microglobulin (B2M) has garnered considerable interest as a potential pro-ageing factor, leading to speculation about its involvement in muscle metabolism and the development of sarcopenia, a key component of ageing phenotypes. To explore this hypothesis, we conducted a comprehensive investigation...
