Elevated Circulating Ceramides 18:0 and 24:1 as a Risk Factor for Sarcopenia: In Vitro, Animal, and Clinical Evidence.

BACKGROUND

Ceramides have garnered considerable attention as pro-aging bioactive lipids implicated in both metabolic dysfunction and musculoskeletal decline. Among these, C18:0 and C24:1 ceramides may play a role in the pathophysiology of sarcopenia, a key manifestation of age-related deterioration. However, their...

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...

Sarcopenia in Atrial Fibrillation: A Risk Factor for Adverse Outcomes in a UK Biobank Study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS

Sarcopenia, characterized by reduced muscle mass and function, has been increasingly implicated in cardiovascular disorders. However, its prognostic relevance in atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. This study evaluated the association between sarcopenia and adverse outcomes in individuals with...

Overt hepatic encephalopathy after elective and preemptive TIPS: Risk factors and prognosis.

BACKGROUND & AIMS

Overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) develops in 30-50% of patients after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement, depending on patient characteristics and TIPS indication. Data on OHE after preemptive TIPS (pTIPS) are limited. We aimed to assess the prevalence...

Association Between Waist-to-Height Ratio Estimated Fat Mass Categories and Incident Fractures.

Although obesity is a well-known risk factor for various metabolic disorders, its impact on fracture risk remains uncertain. The inconsistency in findings may be due to the fact that most studies have relied solely on body mass index (BMI) as...

Longitudinal Cohort Study Investigating Fall Risk Across Diverse Muscle Health Statuses Among Older People in the Community.

Falls constitute a significant public health concern among older adults, particularly those with diminished muscle health integrity. The relative contributions of reduced muscle mass versus impaired muscle function to fall risk remain debated. Discrepant conclusions in previous studies exist due...
