Sarcopenia and body composition abnormalities in chronic pancreatitis: Pathophysiology, assessment, and clinical impact.

Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease associated with substantial nutritional and metabolic consequences. Beyond classical malnutrition, patients frequently develop alterations in body composition, particularly sarcopenia, which are increasingly recognised as clinically relevant but remain inconsistently assessed. The reported prevalence...

Combined GLIM-defined malnutrition and sarcopenia and the risk of 2-year mortality in adults with heart failure: A FRAGILE-HF study post hoc analysis.

BACKGROUND

Malnutrition is common in older patients with heart failure and predicts poor outcomes. However, the prognostic value of assessing muscle function and fat stores alongside GLIM remains unclear. We therefore tested whether assessing handgrip strength and fat mass index alongside...

Prevalence and risk factors of malnutrition among older adults with sarcopenia: a protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND

Sarcopenia and malnutrition are closely interrelated geriatric syndromes that significantly contribute to frailty, functional decline, and increased mortality in older adults. Although a growing body of evidence suggests a strong association between these conditions, reported prevalence rates and associated risk...

Sarcopenic obesity: Call to action and nutritional agenda from the international clinical nutrition community.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO; defined as obesity with low skeletal muscle function and mass) has been recently recognized as a relevant obesity phenotype, with substantial negative clinical impact. The prevalence of SO is likely increasing, due to the growing prevalence of...

Phenotype profiling of disease-related malnutrition with inflammation: Document elaborated by the ESPEN special interest group (SIG) ''cachexia-anorexia in chronic wasting diseases''.

In the ESPEN SIG meetings the similarities and differences between cachexia and disease-related malnutrition (DRM) were previously analyzed, as well as the role of inflammation in DRM. In the years 2023-2025, the SIG moving forward emphasized the relevance of the...

Screening for Malnutrition, Sarcopenia, and Physical Frailty Beyond One Year after Liver Transplantation.

BACKGROUND/AIMS

Malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty negatively impact quality of life and increase mortality following liver transplantation (LT). However, long-term follow-up data remain limited. This study aimed primarily to assess the malnutrition risk at 1-, 2-, and 3-years post-LT. Secondary objectives included...

Burden of malnutrition and sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis: pathophysiology, assessment, and management.

Malnutrition and sarcopenia are highly prevalent and robustly associated with reduced quality of life, disease progression, and poor outcomes, including complications and mortality, in patients with cirrhosis. Their pathophysiology is multifactorial, involving inadequate dietary intake and malabsorption, impaired liver functional...

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...

Cachexia in Pancreatic Cancer: New Insights to Impact Quality of Life and Survival.

Introduction: Cancer cachexia is associated with systemic inflammation and metabolic derangement, leading to muscle atrophy, which affects over 80% of pancreatic cancer patients, the highest rate among all malignancies, negatively impacting quality of life and significantly reducing survival rate. Malnutrition,...

A triad strategy of rehabilitation, nutrition, and oral management for malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in super-aged societies.

BACKGROUND

Rapid population aging has intensified the prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty, and oral dysfunction, significantly affecting healthcare outcomes and quality of life in older adults. A growing body of evidence suggests that integrating rehabilitation, nutrition support, and oral health management-a...

ODIASP: An Open-Source Software for Automated SMI Determination-Application to an Inpatient Population.

The diagnosis of malnutrition has evolved with the GLIM recommendations, which advocate for integrating phenotypic criteria, including muscle mass measurement. The GLIM framework specifically suggests using skeletal muscle index (SMI) assessed via CT scan at the third lumbar level (L3)...
