The effect of ageing on skeletal muscle as assessed by quantitative MR imaging: an association with frailty and muscle strength

M. Farrow, J. Biglands, S.F. Tanner, et al.

Aging Clin Exp Res. 2020 Mar 20. doi: 10.1007/s40520-020-01530-2. [Epub ahead of print]

The aim was to investigate whether quantitative MRI measures of T2, fat fraction (FF), diffusion tensor imaging and muscle volume can detect differences within the muscles between three age groups, and to assess how these measures compare with frailty index, gait speed and muscle power.

Differences in the Prevalence of Sarcopenia in Community-Dwelling, Nursing Home and Hospitalized Individuals. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

S.K. Papadopoulou, P. Tsintavis, P. Potsaki, et al.

J Nutr Health Aging. 2020;24(1):83-90. doi: 10.1007/s12603-019-1267-x.

The current systematic review and meta-analysis study was carried out to estimate the overall prevalence of sarcopenia in both males and females in different regions around the world and to show the major differences in its occurrence among different populations.

Novel Insights on Intake of Fish and Prevention of Sarcopenia: All Reasons for an Adequate Consumption

M. Rondanelli, C. Rigon, S. Perna, et al.

Nutrients. 2020 Jan 24;12(2). pii: E307. doi: 10.3390/nu12020307.

This narrative literature review was performed to evaluate evidence regarding the actual benefit of fish consumption in the prevention of sarcopenia and the positive action on the muscle mass of the biological compounds present in fish.

Musculoskeletal adaptations to strength training in frail elderly: a matter of quantity or quality?

S.N. Aas, M. Breit, S. Karsrud, et al.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle. 2020 Feb 24. doi: 10.1002/jcsm.12543. [Epub ahead of print]

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of heavy-load strength training on a broad number of factors related to specific strength in frail elderly.

The association between sarcopenia and fracture in middle-aged and elderly people: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies

H. Chen, J. Ma, A. Liu, et al.

Injury. 2020 Feb 18. pii: S0020-1383(20)30146-7. doi: 10.1016/j.injury.2020.02.072. [Epub ahead of print]

The association between sarcopenia and risk of fracture remained controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between sarcopenia and fracture incidence in the middle-aged and elderly people.

Which one came first: movement behavior or frailty? A cross-lagged panel model in the Toledo Study for Healthy Aging

A. Mañas, B. Del Pozo-Cruz, I. Rodríguez-Gómez, et al.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle. 2020 Jan 8. doi: 10.1002/jcsm.12511. [Epub ahead of print]

This study aimed to determine the potential bidirectionality of the relationship between accelerometer-assessed between moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behaviour (SB), and frailty over time in older adults.

Limitations of SARC-F in the diagnosis of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults

T. Kera, H. Kawai, H. Hirano, et al.

Arch Gerontol Geriatr. 2020 Mar - Apr;87:103959. doi: 10.1016/j.archger.2019.103959. Epub 2019 Sep 24.

The SARC-F is a recommended screening tool for sarcopenia; however, its sensitivity is reported to be very low. This study aimed to confirm the diagnostic efficacy of the SARC-F and whether it is affected by population characteristics.
