There is a dearth of screening tools for cardiorespiratory disease and fracture risk, such as risk prediction models, for adults with cerebral palsy (CP). There is heterogeneity of pathophysiology related to the severity of CP and aging, such that a...
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a set of five cardiometabolic risk factors that typically worsen with age. One exercise-training programme is effective at improving those factors in middle-aged individuals with MetS. To our knowledge, exercise-training efficacy as MetS individuals age has...
Around 80% of patients with advanced cancer have cancer cachexia (CC), a serious complication for which there are currently no FDA-approved treatments. Nuciferine (NF) is the main active ingredient of lotus leaf, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and other effects. The...
Visceral obesity (VO), associated with excessive visceral adipose tissue (VAT), has been extensively studied in cancer. However, whether low VAT can predict the prognosis of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) remains unknown. This multicentre real-world cohort study...
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...
Additional tools are needed to assess mortality risk among patients with cancer. Patients with chronic graft vs. host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) represent a high-risk cancer population with mortality risk explained by cGVHD severity, but also...
Metformin has effects on multiple biological systems relevant to ageing and has been posited as a candidate therapy for sarcopenia and physical frailty. We aimed to test the efficacy and safety of metformin, a candidate geroprotector, to improve physical performance...
Cellular senescence (CS) is a key aging process that leads to irreversible cell cycle arrest and an altered secretory phenotype. In skeletal muscle (SkM), the accumulation of senescent cells contributes to sarcopenia. Despite exercise being a known intervention for maintaining...
Macrophages are key innate immune cells in the muscle environment of sarcopenia patients, significantly influencing muscle stem cell (MuSC) proliferation and differentiation. However, prolonged activation of macrophages can hinder muscle recovery. In this study, it synthesizes lipoic acid-modified gold nanoparticles...
Evidence of an association between sarcopenic obesity (SO) and the risk of long-term atrial fibrillation (AF) is lacking, and the underlying involvement of insulin resistance (IR) and inflammation is not clear. This community-based prospective cohort study evaluated sarcopenia, obesity, and...
Frailty is associated with mortality and functional outcome after cardiac arrest. Temporalis muscle thickness (TMT) is a measure of sarcopenia, which represents one dimension of frailty. We assessed the correlation between TMT, measured on head computed tomography (CT), and Clinical...
Recent studies have indicated a correlation between certain Amino acids (AAs) and sarcopenia. However, the exact causal relationship among these associations is still unclear. This study aims to elucidate the causal relationships between 20 types of AAs and the phenotypic...
COPD patients suffering from malnutrition or sarcopenia often incur higher healthcare costs and experience adverse clinical outcomes. Despite this, the effectiveness of nutrient supplements in this population remains uncertain. Two reviewers will independently search seven databases-PubMed, Embase, Web of Science,...
In patients receiving anti-cancer treatment, cachexia results in poorer oncological outcomes. However, there is limited understanding and no systematic review of oncological endpoints in cancer cachexia (CC) trials. This review examines oncological endpoints in CC clinical trials. An electronic literature...
