Prognostic performance of Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2025 Constructs for activities of daily living at discharge after stroke: a head-to-head validation.

PURPOSE

To compare the prognostic performance of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2025 diagnostic constructs-specifically height- versus body mass index (BMI)-indexed muscle mass-for discriminating functional outcomes in patients with stroke.

METHODS

From a cohort of 1246 consecutive post-acute stroke admissions, we...

Temporalis muscle thickness: Ultrasound measurement, clinical significance and correlation with sarcopenic indices.

BACKGROUND & AIMS

The clinical relevance of temporal muscle thickness (TMT) as a sarcopenia marker remains uncertain. This analysis reevaluates its potential utility and limitations in sarcopenia assessment.

METHODS

TMT was assessed ultrasonographically in 648 individuals (Mean age: 66.5 (range, 22-98) years, Female...

Sarcopenic obesity defined by Japanese Working Group on Sarcopenic Obesity in post-stroke inpatients: prevalence and clinical implications.

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is characterized by the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity, associated with adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SO as defined by the recently published Japanese Working Group on Sarcopenic Obesity (JWGSO) criteria...

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) phase angle in stroke patients: A systematic review.

Phase angle (PhA), a raw variable of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), is an index of muscle structure and quality and might have a potential role in the evaluation of nutritional status. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate...

Sex difference, proteostasis and mitochondrial function impact stroke-related sarcopenia-A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The prevalence of stroke-related sarcopenia has been noted; however, epidemiological data and interventions that increase or reduce the incidence of stroke-related sarcopenia remain lacking. Studies on stroke-related sarcopenia were included in association or interventional analyses. All analyses were performed using...
