Resveratrol enhances exercise-induced cellular and functional adaptations of skeletal muscle in older men and women

S.E. Alway, J.L. McCrory, K. Kearcher, et al.

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2017;72(12):1595-1606

Data obtained indicate a novel anabolic role of resveratrol in exercise-induced adaptations of older persons and this suggests that resveratrol combined with exercise might provide a better approach for reversing sarcopenia than exercise alone.

Prevalence of muscle weakness based on different diagnostic criteria in community-dwelling older adults: a comparison of grip strength dynamometers

M. Kim and S. Shinkai

Geriatr Gerontol Int. 2017;17(11):2089-2095

The present study compared the performance of the Jamar and Smedley dynamometers for the measurement of grip strength, and the two dynamometers were used to determine the prevalence rate of weakness in a large, community-dwelling, older adult population, based on different diagnostic criteria.

Sex differences in the effect of fish-oil supplementation on the adaptive response to resistance exercise training in older people: a randomized controlled trial

M. Da Boit, R. Sibson, S. Sivasubramaniam, et al.

Am J Clin Nutr. 2017;105(1):151-158

Long-chain n-3 PUFA supplementation augments the increases in muscle function and quality in older women but not in older men after resistance exercise training.

Cross-sectional associations of dietary and circulating magnesium with skeletal muscle mass in the EPIC-Norfolk cohort

R.P.G. Hayhoe, M.A.H. Lentjes, A.A. Mulligan, et al.

Clin Nutr. 2018 Jan 30. pii: S0261-5614(18)30015-3. doi: 10.1016/j.clnu.2018.01.014. [Epub ahead of print]

This study demonstrated strong associations between dietary magnesium intake, but not serum magnesium levels, and indices of skeletal muscle mass in a UK population of middle to older-aged adults, highlighting the likely importance of dietary magnesium for optimal muscle health in this population.

Potential roles of vitamin E in age-related changes in skeletal muscle health

E. Chung, H. Mo, S. Wang, et al.

Nutr Res. 2018;49:23-36

Current literature suggests that vitamin E molecules (α-, β-, γ-, δ-tocopherols and the corresponding tocotrienols) with their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities may mitigate age-associated skeletal dysfunction and enhance muscle regeneration, thus attenuating sarcopenia.

The association between nutritional status and frailty characteristics among geriatric outpatients

M. Kurkcu, R.I. Meijer, S. Lonterman, et al.

Clin Nutr ESPEN. 2018;23:112-116

In geriatric outpatients, malnutrition is independently related to having ≥3 frailty characteristics. Assessing nutritional status could prove usefulness in early clinical detection and prevention of frailty.

Risk of Malnutrition Evaluated by Mini Nutritional Assessment and Sarcopenia in Noninstitutionalized Elderly People

I. Liguori, F. Curcio, G. Russo, et al.

Nutr Clin Pract. 2018 Feb 13. doi: 10.1002/ncp.10022. [Epub ahead of print]

Malnutrition indices and muscle mass and strength in the elderly are poorly investigated. Moreover, malnutrition seems to be one of the more important factors in the cause of sarcopenia.

The presence of sarcopenia and its relationship with malnutrition indices were studied in noninstitutionalized elderly people who underwent Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA).

Impact of Sarcopenia on One-Year Mortality among Older Hospitalized Patients with Impaired Mobility

M. Pourhassan, K. Norman, M.J. Müller, et al.

J Frailty Aging. 2018;7(1):40-46

The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between sarcopenia and 1-year mortality in a prospectively recruited sample of geriatric inpatients with different mobility and dependency status.
