Reference Methods for Measuring Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Critical Perspective
ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle (SM) is an integral organ component in the pathophysiology of many acute and chronic diseases. But is there a ‘gold’ standard or accepted reference method for quantifying the amount and composition of human SM mass? Exploring that question led us to recognize the existence of a SM measurement paradigm that divides methods into ...

ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia is a progressive, age‐related condition characterized by a decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength and performance. Diagnosis remains challenging because current consensus criteria are difficult to scale and existing biomarkers lack accuracy.

Prediabetes Associates With Musculoskeletal Alterations Independent of Total Body Adiposity
ABSTRACT Background Excess adiposity is a major risk factor for insulin resistance, prediabetes, and Type 2 diabetes and increases the risk for sarcopenia and osteosarcopenia later in life. It has been proposed that altered metabolic function and musculoskeletal status in people with obesity are directly linked, presumably because they share common ...

ABSTRACT Background Current treatments for knee osteoarthritis (OA) offer limited functional and structural improvements. Compared to age‐ and gender‐matched controls, patients with knee OA show a higher prevalence of muscle weakness, which negatively affects their ability to exercise—a key factor in enhancing physical mobility and delaying disease ...
