M. Yang, X. Hu, L. Xie, et al.J Am Med Dir Assoc. 2018 Jun 13. pii: S1525-8610(18)30229-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jamda.2018.04.012. [Epub ahead of print] The Mini Sarcopenia Risk Assessment (MSRA), a new sarcopenia screening tool, has 2 versions: MSRA-7 (full version, 7 items) and MSRA-5 (short version, 5 items). We aimed to compare the diagnostic values of MSRA-7 and MSRA-5 to SARC-F for screening sarcopenia. |
M. Yang, X. Hu, L. Xie, et al.Medicine (Baltimore). 2018;97(30):e11726 A 3-item SARC-F (termed SARC-F-3 in our study) was recently suggested as a screening tool for sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of SARC-F-3 to SARC-F in community-dwelling older people. |
O. Theou, J.K. Sluggett, J.S. Bell, et al.J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2018;73(8):1090-1096 The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare whether frailty is associated with hospitalization and mortality among residents of aged care services. |
K. Uemura, H. Makizako, S. Lee, et al.Maturitas. 2018;113:26-31 Sarcopenia had a strong impact on the risk of becoming homebound. Particularly in old-old subjects, sarcopenia and physical inactivity may impair people's ability to engage in activities outside the home much more than either their mental status or their level of social participation. |
M.D. Saraiva, G.S. Suzuki, S.M. Lin, et al.Age Ageing. 2018 Jul 21. doi: 10.1093/ageing/afy104. [Epub ahead of print] Pain is prevalent in frail older adults; however, the association of pain and frailty has not been evaluated yet by a systematic assessment of prospective longitudinal studies. We aimed to assess the association of persistent pain as a risk factor for frailty incidence, using data from longitudinal studies in a systematic review and meta-analysis. |
A.M.M. Vaes, M. Tieland, N. Toussaint, et al.J Nutr. 2018;148(5):712-720 Vitamin D supplementation is proposed as a potential treatment strategy to counteract functional decline in older adults. However, data from randomized trials are either limited or inconsistent. This study investigated the effect of daily supplementation with 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D3] or cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) on muscle strength and physical performance in older adults. |
