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.38(1):317-323

This study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary and circulating magnesium on skeletal muscle mass in a UK population of 14,340 middle to older-aged men and women participating in the EPIC-Norfolk cohort study.

Biological Processes and Biomarkers Related to Frailty in Older Adults: A State-of-the-Science Literature Review

J. Wang, C.A. Maxwell, F. Yu

Biol Res Nurs. 2019;21(1):80-106

The objectives of this literature review were to (1) synthesize biological processes linked to frailty and their corresponding biomarkers and (2) identify potential associations among these processes and biomarkers.

Epidemiology of Sarcopenia and Factors Associated With It Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Taiwan

Y.H. Kuo, T.F. Wang, L.K. Liu, et al.

Am J Med Sci. 2019;357(2):124-133

Sarcopenia is a well-recognized geriatric syndrome. We sought to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and factors associated with it among community-dwelling older adults in Taiwan.

Dietary Factors Associated with Frailty in Old Adults: A Review of Nutritional Interventions to Prevent Frailty Development

J.J. Hernández Morante, C. Gómez Martínez, J.M. Morillas-Ruiz

Nutrients. 2019;11(1). pii: E102. doi: 10.3390/nu11010102

As the population ages, the need for specialised geriatric care will increase immensely, and consequently, the need for specialised services for the care of these people will increase accordingly. From a nutritional point of view, to control or balance the nutritional status of residents will be essential in order to prevent sarcopenia and, consequently, frailty development.

Changes in frailty status in a community-dwelling cohort of older adults: The VERISAÚDE study

L. Lorenzo-López, R. López-López, A. Maseda, et al.

Maturitas. 2019;119:54-60

Greater understanding of changes in the degree of frailty is important for clarifying the natural history of frailty and may help clinical decision-making regarding preventive interventions. The objectives of this study were to explore natural frailty transition rates at 1-year follow-up and to identify the main determinants of such transitions.

Dietary factors associated with the development of physical frailty in community-dwelling older adults

R. Otsuka, C. Tange, M. Tomida, et al.

J Nutr Health Aging. 2019;23(1):89-95

Nutrition plays an important role in the development of frailty, and the present prospective cohort study examined the association between energy, macronutrient, and food intake and the development of physical frailty.

Which frailty scale for patients admitted via Emergency Department? A cohort study

E.T. Lewis, E. Dent, H. Alkhouri, et al.

Arch Gerontol Geriatr. 2019;80:104-114

The aim is to determine the prevalence of frailty in Emergency Departments (EDs); examine the ability of frailty to predict poor outcomes post-discharge; and identify the most appropriate instrument for routine ED use.

Quantifying appendicular muscle mass in geriatric inpatients: Performance of different single frequency BIA equations in comparison to dual X-ray absorptiometry

R. Reiter, B. Iglseder, W. Treschnitzer, et al.

Arch Gerontol Geriatr. 2019;80:98-103

Quantification of skeletal muscle mass is mandatory for diagnosing sarcopenia, a highly prevalent geriatric syndrome. While dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the reference method in a clinical context, bioimpedance analysis (BIA) is more readily applicable on a broad scale. Recently BIA equations for the prediction of appendicular skeletal muscle mass in higher age groups have been published, but data on their performance in geriatric inpatients are lacking.
