Association of Low Muscle Mass and Low Muscle Radiodensity With Morbidity and Mortality for Colon Cancer Surgery [PDF]
Given the risks of postoperative morbidity and its consequent economic burden and impairment to patients undergoing colon resection, evaluating risk factors associated with complications will allow risk stratification and the targeting of supportive interventions.

Individual and Synergistic Relationships of Low Muscle Mass and Low Muscle Function with Depressive Symptoms in Korean Older Adults [PDF]
This study examined the relationship of low appendicular skeletal muscle mass and low muscle function with depressive symptoms in Korean older adults. Community-dwelling Korean older adults aged 65 years and older (n = 521) participated in this study. Appendicular muscle mass (ASM) and muscle function (MF) scores were assessed using dual-energy X-ray ...

Modeling Low Muscle Mass Screening in Hemodialysis Patients
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.

Assessment of low muscle mass and strength in a control population
Background and aims: low muscle mass (LMM) conditions the nutritional status of an individual and has implications for quality of life and prognosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate body composition and determine normal values in the diagnosis of LMM in a control group of healthy individuals. Methods: a cross-sectional study of healthy volunteers

Low Muscle Mass Is Associated with Readmission for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
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 ...

Polygenic Models Partially Predict Muscle Size and Strength but Not Low Muscle Mass in Older Women [PDF]
Background: Heritability explains 45-82% of muscle mass and strength variation, yet polygenic models for muscle phenotypes in older women are scarce. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to (1) assess if total genotype predisposition score (GPSTOTAL) for a set of polymorphisms differed between older women with low and high muscle mass, and

Previous studies have shown that low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), visceral obesity and low muscle mass may share pathophysiological mechanisms, such as insulin resistance and chronic inflammation. In this study, we investigated whether low CRF is associated with low muscle mass, visceral obesity, and visceral obesity combined with low muscle mass ...

ASSOCIATION OF LOW MUSCLE MASS AND ISOKINETIC STRENGTH WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME
Background and objectives Sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome (MetS) increase incidence with age. This study evaluated the prevalence of MetS in middle-age to elderly men according to knee and grip strength and muscle mass. Methods Data from 256 males aged 40–69 years were analyzed.

Association of Diet Quality with Low Muscle Mass-Function in Korean Elderly [PDF]
There is a growing body of evidence that links nutrition to muscle mass and function in the elderly, suggesting that it has an important role to play both in the prevention and management of age-related sarcopenia. Some nutrients have been studied, but less is known about the influence of overall diet quality on the loss of skeletal muscle mass and ...

Low skeletal muscle mass and liver fibrosis in children with cerebral palsy [PDF]
AbstractThe purpose of the study was to conduct a nutritional and metabolic assessment of children with cerebral palsy, including an investigation of liver status, body composition, and bone mineral density. In this cross-sectional study we included 22 children with cerebral palsy. By using ultrasound, transient elastography, dual x-ray absorptiometry (
