M. Bernabeu-Wittel, Á. González-Molina, R. Fernández-Ojeda, et al.J Clin Med. 2019 Apr 18;8(4). pii: E535. doi: 10.3390/jcm8040535. We performed a multicenter prospective observational study in six hospitals in order to assess prevalence, clinical features, outcome and associated risk factors of sarcopenia and frailty in a hospital-based population of polypathological patients. |
K. Rustani, L. Kundisova, P.L. Capecchi, et al.Arch Gerontol Geriatr. 2019;83:151-154 According to European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) the diagnosis of sarcopenia requires the assessment of muscle mass, muscle force and function, that is time-consuming and not easily at hand in everyday clinical practice. We propose the B-mode ultrasound measurement of muscle thickness as a quick screening test to assess the presence of sarcopenia. |
C.W. Li, K. Yu, N. Shyh-Chang, et al.J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle. 2019 Apr 10. doi: 10.1002/jcsm.12417. [Epub ahead of print] In this study, we evaluated whether proinflammatory cytokines are associated with the onset of sarcopenia, which circulating factors are associated with the severity of sarcopenia, and how these factors change after lifestyle interventions in sarcopenic elderly persons. |
T. Snijders, M. Leenders, L.C.P.G.M. de Groot, et al.Exp Gerontol. 2019;121:71-78. Although resistance type exercise training (RT) effectively increases muscle mass and strength in older individuals, it remains unclear whether gains in muscle mass and strength are maintained without continued supervised training. We assessed the capacity of older individuals to maintain muscle mass and strength gains one year after partaking in a successful RT program. |
A. Granic, A.A. Sayer, S.M. RobinsonNutrients. 2019 Mar 30;11(4). pii: E745. doi: 10.3390/nu11040745. The prevalence of sarcopenia increases with age and leads to high personal, social, and economic costs. Finding adequate nutritional measures to maintain muscle health, preserve function, and independence for the growing population of older adults would have important scientific and societal implications. |
D.S. Kehler, O. TheouMech Ageing Dev. 2019 Mar 26. pii: S0047-6374(18)30244-6. doi: 10.1016/j.mad.2019.03.004. [Epub ahead of print] Here, we summarize epidemiological and clinical trial evidence concerning the impact of physical activity and sedentary behaviors on frailty levels. We also analysed the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data to describe physical activity and sedentary behavior accumulation patterns across frailty levels and their impact on mortality risk. |
