Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity in Postmenopausal Women: Limitations of BMI as a Predictor of Sarcopenic Obesity

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
The prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity is large among community‐dwelling postmenopausal women, and lower body mass index is a significant predictor of both. The finding that low body mass index predicts both sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, highlights the limitation of body mass index as a measure of adiposity in the assessment of ...

Sports Activity Recognition Using Textile‐Based Sensor Fusion and Complex‐Valued Residual Convolutional Neural Networks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Motion artifacts in electrocardiographic signals, conventionally dismissed as noise, are shown to encode discriminative activity information. A smart t‐shirt fusing textile strain sensors with textile ECG electrodes, processed through a complex‐valued residual network, recognizes 12 sport activities.

An Integrated Fabric‐Pneumatic Soft Sensing System for Multi‐Site Muscle Activity Decoding

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Fabric‐pneumatic chambers convert muscle deformation into pressure signals without electronics at the body‐contact sensing interface. A unified processing pipeline enables static posture classification, continuous elbow‐angle estimation, forearm gesture recognition, and knee‐movement detection across three anatomical sites.
