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)...

Recent Sarcopenia Definitions-Variability in Prevalence and Disability Associations in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients.

Sarcopenia is common in chronic kidney disease, but no unified consensus exists regarding its diagnostic criteria. New definitions, including the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC), define sarcopenia based on decreased muscle function without measuring muscle mass. However, the application...

The Combination of Fat Distribution and BMI Redefines Obesity: Result From NHANES.

Body mass index (BMI) has well-recognized limitations, particularly in the context of the 'obesity paradox', where higher BMI does not consistently evaluate adverse outcomes. These limitations underscore the need for alternative approaches. This study aimed to redefine obesity using anthropometric...

Osteosarcopenic obesity: A systematic review and a call for consensus on definitions and diagnostic criteria.

Osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) is a clinical and functional condition characterized by the coexistence of osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity (excess adiposity). Currently, the lack of consensus on diagnostic criteria and cut-off values complicates prevalence estimates and limits its potential role as...

Normative data for age-specific skeletal muscle area based on computed tomography in Korean population.

Sarcopenia, a progressive loss of muscle mass and function, increases health risks in older adults, especially in rapidly ageing populations like Korea. Computed tomography (CT) imaging at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level is a gold standard for assessing skeletal...

Prevalence of sarcopenia in middle-aged and older adults with cognitive impairment: a meta-analysis.

Cognitive impairment, dementia and sarcopenia significantly reduce the quality of life in middle-aged and older adults by impairing daily functioning, making cognitive decline a major concern for healthcare professionals. To estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia and probable sarcopenia in middle-aged...
