Adductor pollicis muscle thickness has a low association with muscle mass and lean mass in kidney transplantation patients

Clinical Nutrition ESPEN, 2018
The use of adductor pollicis muscle thickness (APMT) as a predictor of muscle and lean mass is not fully understood and little is known whether the APMT evaluation presents advantages when compared to simpler anthropometric measurements, such as body weight.

Effect of low skeletal muscle mass combined with low muscle strength to predict survival in patients with incurable cancer

Clinical Nutrition ESPEN, 2022
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of muscle mass, alone and combined with muscle strength, in predicting survival in patients with incurable cancer. Muscle mass was assessed by computed tomography (CT).Low muscle mass and low muscle strength was defined, respectively, by skeletal muscle index (SMI) assessed by CT and handgrip strength (HGS) below ...

Calculated body muscle mass as a useful screening marker for low skeletal muscle mass and sarcopenia in chronic liver disease

Hepatology Research, 2020
AimSarcopenia is a harmful condition in patients with chronic liver disease. However, the evaluation of body muscle mass requires expensive instrumentation. The sarcopenia index (SI): (creatinine / cystatin C × 100) has been reported to correlate with muscle volume.

Low Serum Selenium Level Is Associated With Low Muscle Mass in the Community-Dwelling Elderly

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2014
Elderly persons with low muscle mass (LMM) or sarcopenia are prone to frailty and functional decline. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum selenium level and skeletal muscle mass in community-dwelling elderly.Cross-sectional observational study.A total of 327 elderly Taipei citizens (mean age 71.5 ± 4.7 years) were recruited ...

A low muscle mass increases mortality in compensated cirrhotic patients with sepsis

Liver International, 2018
AbstractBackground & AimsSevere infections and muscle wasting are both associated to poor outcome in cirrhosis. A possible synergic effect of these two entities in cirrhotic patients has not been previously investigated. We aimed at analysing if a low muscle mass may deteriorate the outcome of cirrhotic patients with sepsis.MethodsConsecutive ...

Low muscle mass is associated with efficacy of biologics in Crohn's disease

Clinical Nutrition
Low muscle mass (LMM) can be a frequent complication in Crohn's disease (CD). We attempted to explore the effect of LMM on the efficacy of biologics in patients with CD.The retrospective cohort study included moderate-to-severe CD patients treated with infliximab or ustekinumab, and appendicitis patients as control. The skeletal muscle area (SMA) of L3
