Imaging-Derived Sarcopenic Obesity and Cardiovascular Outcomes: Insights Into Heart Failure Risk and Muscle Biology.
BACKGROUND
The prognostic value of obesity in cardiovascular disease is complex. Measures such as body mass index and waist-to-height ratio show differing associations with outcomes, especially in heart failure. Assessing sarcopenic obesity, the coexistence of excess fat and low muscle mass,...

BACKGROUNDS
Obesity and diabetes impair the ability of the muscle to regenerate, repair and remodel, resulting in a gradual decrease in muscle mass and function. However, the underlying mechanisms and effective therapeutic strategies remain poorly understood. M2 macrophages within skeletal muscle...

Body mass index (BMI) is widely used to diagnose obesity and assess chronic disease risk, yet it does not reflect true body composition (BC), particularly fat distribution and lean mass. While widely used and valuable for population-level screening, BMI is...

BACKGROUND
Sarcopenic obesity (SO) confers substantially greater cardiometabolic risk than either sarcopenia or obesity alone, but the tissue-level structural alterations underlying this risk remain unclear. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) characteristics, including both area and radiodensity, may provide clinically relevant insight into...

BACKGROUND
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is characterized by sarcopenic obesity; however, validated screening tools for muscle mass in clinical settings are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of muscle ultrasound (US) for detecting low muscle mass in individuals with...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Sarcopenic obesity (SO) has been proposed as a risk factor for cognitive impairment. Yet evidence is inconsistent and often limited by heterogeneous definitions and lack of longitudinal assessments. This study aimed to examine associations of SO with all-cause...

BACKGROUND
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used for type 2 diabetes and obesity and produce significant weight loss. However, concerns have emerged about potential loss of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) with pharmacologic weight reduction, particularly in older adults...

BACKGROUND
Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is closely associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, traditional body composition-based diagnostic criteria for SO fail to adequately incorporate insulin resistance, a key pathophysiological mechanism. This study aimed to investigate the association between SO, defined using...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Sarcopenia is the accelerated loss of skeletal muscle mass and function associated with ageing. Sarcopenia screening consists of body composition imaging and physical function tests; however, these tests can be burdensome and inconsistent. This review aimed to synthesise...
