Effect of Testosterone Treatment on Leucocyte Telomere Length in Men: Results From a Randomised Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lower testosterone concentrations in older men are associated with poorer health outcomes. Objective We examined whether, on a background of lifestyle intervention, testosterone treatment modulates leucocyte telomere length, a postulated marker of biological ageing, in overweight men with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or newly ...

Bone Health and Aging in Klinefelter Syndrome

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is typically diagnosed in young adults, but advances in prenatal testing have led to its recognition at a much earlier age. Conversely, diagnosis in late adulthood remains uncommon, but still occurs. Independently from the age at diagnosis, KS individuals now receive more accurate and tailored care management than in ...

Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists and muscle strength changes in older adults: Risks beyond muscle mass reductions

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists are increasingly prescribed for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet research pertinent to their effects on muscle health is limited. Considering the central role of muscle strength as a sarcopenia component, this article summarizes emerging ...

World Health Organization Healthy Ageing model applied to adults with cerebral palsy: A systematic review of reported intrinsic capacity measures

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
This systematic review reports on quantitative measures of intrinsic capacity domains of the WHO Healthy Ageing model for adults with CP. Reports from 102 studies showed reduced locomotor, vitality andn possibly cognitive intrinsic capacity reserves for adults aged 30–45 years.

Efficacy and Safety of SGLT2 Inhibitors in Patients With Genetic Lipodystrophy: A Real‐Life Experience From a National Reference Network

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Lipodystrophy syndromes are rare diseases with metabolic and cardiovascular consequences. This study explores the metabolic and renal effects of sodium‐glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with genetic lipodystrophy. Patients and Methods Patients with familial partial lipodystrophy (n = 57) or congenital generalised ...

Body Composition Remodelling During GLP‐1‐Based Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis Using a Hierarchical Physiological Framework

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Body composition changes during glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1)‐based therapy remain incompletely characterized, particularly regarding their effects on adiposity, muscle quantity, and muscle quality. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis using a predefined physiological framework to evaluate body composition ...
