Sarcopenia
Prevalence, Characteristics, and Prognostic Associations of Cachexia Diagnosed Using Asian Working Group for Cachexia 2023 Criteria in Older Adults With Heart Failure.
Few studies have examined the characteristics of heart failure (HF) patients with cachexia using the Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) 2023 criteria. This study assessed the characteristics and clinical impact of cachexia in older adults with HF. Results of...
Associations between sarcopenic, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity and metabolic syndrome in adults aged 45ย Years or older: A prospective cohort study from the China health and retirement longitudinal study.
Although previous studies have reported associations between sarcopenic obesity (SO) and metabolic syndrome (MetS), the findings remain inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the associations between sarcopenia, obesity, and MetS, and to determine whether sarcopenic obesity synergistically increases the risk...
Comment on "Risk of Sarcopenia Following Long-Term Statin Use in Community-Dwelling Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Japan" by Huang etย al.
Melatonin and Exercise Restore Myogenesis and Mitochondrial Dynamics Deficits Associated With Sarcopenia in iMS-Bmal1 Mice.
Sarcopenia, a condition associated with aging, involves progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, leading to impaired mobility, health, and increased mortality. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear, which limits the development of effective therapeutic interventions. Emerging evidence implicates chronodisruption...
Comprehensive Evaluation of Frailty and Sarcopenia Markers to Predict Survival in Glioblastoma Patients.
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults. Patients with GBM are particularly susceptible to moderate-to-high frail. Frailty status has been associated with the outcome of many types of cancer, including GBM, although there is still...
Transcriptional Intermediary Factor 1ฮณ-Induced Irisin in Skeletal Muscle Attenuates Renal Fibrosis in Diabetic Nephropathy.
Transcriptional intermediary factor 1ฮณ (TIF1ฮณ) is a negative regulator of TGF-ฮฒ1 signalling and has been associated with patient survival in renal cell carcinoma. However, its role in diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly in diabetic nephropathy (DN), remains unclear. DN is the...
Nutritional Status Predicts Functional Recovery and Adverse Outcomes in Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Despite the high prevalence of malnutrition in acutely ill older patients, nutritional status is rarely assessed in emergency departments (EDs), and the impact of nutritional risk screening on functional recovery is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the association...
Association of Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index and Insulin Resistance With Mortality in Multi-Nationwide Cohorts.
Although sarcopenia and insulin resistance are closely related, there is limited evidence regarding how they interact to influence mortality across different population groups. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and insulin resistance...
HD6277 Suppresses Muscle Atrophy by Promoting Myogenic Factors and Inhibiting Proteolysis in Aged Mice.
G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) acts as a modulator of various physiological functions, including glycaemic lowering, anti-inflammation and antioxidative stress, in several tissues. However, the role of GPR40 in skeletal muscles remains unclear. To investigate the roles of muscle GPR40,...
Comment on 'Impact of Resistance Training and Chicken Intake on Vascular and Muscle Health in Elderly Women' by Fujie etย al.
Weight cycling and its effects on muscle mass, sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity.
The prevalence of obesity is rising around the world, as the number of subjects dieting and experiencing weight loss followed by unintentional weight regain, the so-called weight cycling (WC). In this narrative review we sought to reveal the effects of...
A Novel Research Paradigm for Sarcopenia of Limb Muscles: Lessons From the Perpetually Working Diaphragm's Anti-Aging Mechanisms.
Skeletal muscle function and mass continuously decrease during aging. Most studies target limb muscles owing to their direct impact on mobility and falls risk. The diaphragm (DIA), also a type of skeletal muscle with different phenotype, has received less attention....
Impact of Hospitalization on Sarcopenia, NADPH-Oxidase 2, Oxidative Stress, and Low-Grade Endotoxemia in Elderly Patients.
Hospitalization in older adults often worsens sarcopenia due to prolonged bed rest, poor nutrition, and inactivity. This study examined how hospitalization impacts muscle mass, focusing on oxidative stress and gut-derived endotoxemia. Thirty-one hospitalized older adults were compared with 31 outpatients....
ROS-responsive MnO mesoporous hydrogel to modulate liver-muscle crosstalk and mitigate NAFLD-associated sarcopenia via exosomal miR-582-5p delivery.
The interrelation between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and sarcopenia has emerged as a significant concern due to its systemic impact on metabolic health. However, therapeutic approaches targeting the liver-muscle axis remain underdeveloped. Oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways are key...
Prognostic and associative significance of malnutrition in sarcopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Malnutrition is a common phenomenon, particularly in those at an increased risk of muscle mass and function losses. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to explore the association of malnutrition with sarcopenia in middle-aged and older adults and...
