The authors reply: Letter on: “Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard” by Clark et al.

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
However, semantics aside, we think that DXA can indeed serve as a reference standard for measuring muscle mass. Obviously, CT and MRI are advanced techniques that can and have been used to obtain important information such as muscle size/volume and more ...

The Copenhagen Sarcopenia Study: lean mass, strength, power, and physical function in a Danish cohort aged 20–93 years

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2019
Despite no international consensus on the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia, low lean mass, muscle strength, and physical function are important risk factors for disability, frailty, and mortality in older individuals, as well as in a wide range of ...

Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018
Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement of muscle mass, but the techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, the literature does not establish consensus on the best technique for measuring lean body mass. Thus, the

Establishing the Link Between Lean Mass and Grip Strength Cut-points With Mobility Disability and Other Health Outcomes: Proceedings of the Sarcopenia Definition and Outcomes Consortium Conference.

The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences, 2019
BACKGROUND Lack of consensus on how to diagnose sarcopenia has limited the ability to diagnose this condition and hindered drug development. The Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) was formed to develop evidence-based diagnostic cut ...

Validation of a description of sarcopenic obesity defined as excess adiposity and low lean mass relative to adiposity

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2020
This study aims to assess the construct validity of a body composition‐defined definition of sarcopenic obesity based on low appendicular lean mass relative to fat mass (ALMIFMI) and high fat mass index (FMI) and to compare with an alternative definition

Cutpoints for Low Appendicular Lean Mass That Identify Older Adults With Clinically Significant Weakness [PDF]

, 2014
Background. Low lean mass is potentially clinically important in older persons, but criteria have not been empirically validated. As part of the FNIH (Foundation for the National Institutes of Health) Sarcopenia Project, this analysis sought to identify ...

Association of change in muscle mass assessed by D3‐creatine dilution with changes in grip strength and walking speed

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2020
Background Muscle mass declines with age. However, common assessments used to quantify muscle mass are indirect. The D3‐creatine (D3Cr) dilution method is a direct assessment of muscle mass; however, longitudinal changes have not been examined in ...

Changes in Lean Mass, Absolute and Relative Muscle Strength, and Physical Performance After Gastric Bypass Surgery

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2019
Context Bariatric surgery results in reduced muscle mass as weight is lost, but postoperative changes in muscle strength and performance are incompletely understood.

Meta-Analysis Examining the Importance of Creatine Ingestion Strategies on Lean Tissue Mass and Strength in Older Adults

Nutrients, 2021
Creatine supplementation in conjunction with resistance training (RT) augments gains in lean tissue mass and strength in aging adults; however, there is a large amount of heterogeneity between individual studies that may be related to creatine ingestion ...
