Prevalence of low muscle mass according to body mass index in older adults
Nutrition, 2017Low muscle mass has been associated with increased morbi-mortality and should be identified for optimizing preventive and therapeutic strategies. This study evaluates the prevalence of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived low muscle mass in older persons using definitions found through a systematic literature search and determines the link ...

Association between obesity with low muscle mass and dialysis mortality
Internal Medicine Journal, 2017AbstractBackground/AimTo examine the association between body composition and dialysis mortality.MethodsAdult patients who underwent haemodialysis in Taoyuan General Hospital from 2012 to 2016 were enrolled. We reviewed their baseline characteristics and followed up their treatment over 5 years after dialysis. Patients with body mass index >25 kg/m2

Association Between Peritonitis and Low Muscle Mass in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Journal of Renal Nutrition, 2020Peritoneal dialysis (PD) peritonitis is a common complication in PD patients. The remission of peritonitis is easily achieved, but its presence is associated with local/systemic inflammation in PD patients, which would lead to decreases in muscle mass. Here, we hypothesized that the history of PD peritonitis is associated with low muscle mass (LMM) in ...

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 ...

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.

Introduction: Low muscle mass and low muscle strength, the defining components of sarcopenia, are associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease and mortality. However, little is known about the association of sarcopenia with markers of subclinical atherosclerosis, such as coronary artery calcium (CAC).

Financial impact of sarcopenia or low muscle mass – A short review
Clinical Nutrition, 2019Low muscle mass is associated with increased falls, medical complications, length of hospital stay and loss of independence. An increasing number of studies has also shown the association between sarcopenia and health care expenditure. The following narrative review summarizes the current evidence on the economic relevance of low muscle mass (MM) or ...

Muscle strength: A better index of low physical performance than muscle mass in older adults
Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2015AimThe most appropriate muscle index for the definition of sarcopenia has not been agreed on. We aimed to investigate the associations of muscle mass and strength with 5‐year mortality and low physical performance.MethodsWe included 560 participants aged 65 years or older in the analysis.
