Low muscle mass, low muscle function, and sarcopenia in the urban and rural elderly
Scientific Reports, 2022 Health outcomes of the elderly vary between rural and urban areas. Sarcopenia is diagnosed as loss of muscle strength or impaired physical performance, namely “low muscle function” and low muscle mass.

Nutrition interventions to treat low muscle mass in cancer [PDF]
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2020 Many patients with cancer experience poor nutritional status, which detrimentally impacts clinical outcomes. Poor nutritional status in cancer is primarily manifested by severe muscle mass (MM) depletion, which may occur at any stage (from curative to ...

Low Muscle Mass Is Associated with Readmission for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2023 Patients with inflammatory bowel disease tend to have malnutrition, frailty, and low muscle mass, which impact on poor clinical outcomes. Abdominal computed tomography is frequently used to assess body composition. This study aimed to evaluate the association of low muscle mass and readmission within 1 year in patients with inflammatory bowel disease ...

Association between Low Muscle Mass and Inflammatory Cytokines [PDF]
BioMed Research International, 2021 Sarcopenia is a multifaceted geriatric syndrome associated with the loss of muscle mass. We examined the relationship between low muscle mass and inflammatory cytokines in the context of aging. This study involved 299 participants (127 men and 172 women; mean age 63.3 ± 9.8 years) who underwent health checkups for body composition and inflammatory ...

Modeling Low Muscle Mass Screening in Hemodialysis Patients
Nephron, 2022 Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) can accurately measure muscle mass, which is necessary for diagnosing sarcopenia, even in dialysis patients. However, CT-based screening for such patients is challenging, especially considering the availability of equipment within dialysis facilities.
