Autonomic dysfunction of overweight combined with low muscle mass

Clinical Autonomic Research, 2013
To examine the relationship between overweight combined with low muscle mass and the cardiac autonomic nervous system using heart rate variability (HRV) in healthy workers.A total of 1,150 workers were included, with a mean age of 43.55 ± 11.45 years. The subjects were classified as low muscle mass if their appendicular skeletal muscle mass was below ...

Relationship between Low Free Testosterone Levels and Loss of Muscle Mass [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2013
We assessed longitudinal relationships between baseline testosterone and muscle mass changes in Japanese men. Data were collected from community-dwelling 957 adult men who participated in a longitudinal study of ageing biennially from 1997-2010. Appendicular muscle mass (AMM) was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and follow-up ...

The prospective relationship between low muscle mass and thyroid hormones among 198,069 euthyroid men and women; comparing different definitions of low muscle mass [PDF]

International Journal of Clinical Practice, 2020
The impact of thyroid hormones within normal range on muscle mass remains unknown. We examined the association between new onset of low muscle mass (LMM) and thyroid hormones among euthyroid men and women with three different definitions of LMM in prospective cohort study.We performed a cohort study of 198 069 Korean adults (mean age of 39.2 years ...

Implications of low muscle mass across the continuum of care: a narrative review [PDF]

Annals of Medicine, 2018
Abnormalities in body composition can occur at any body weight. Low muscle mass is a predictor of poor morbidity and mortality and occurs in several populations. This narrative review provides an overview of the importance of low muscle mass on health outcomes for patients in inpatient, outpatient and long-term care clinical settings.

PROGNOSTIC IMPACT OF LOW MUSCLE MASS AND MUSCLE DENSITY IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA [PDF]

Journal of Geriatric Oncology, 2019
Low muscle mass (LMM) and low muscle density (LMD) are increasingly recognized as prognostic factors for survival in different malignancies. This study determined the association of LMM and LMD with survival in DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) patients. CT-based measurement of muscle was performed in 164 DLBCL patients prior to chemo-immunotherapy.

The Impact of Low Muscle Mass Definition on the Prevalence of Sarcopenia in Older Australians [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2014
Background.Sarcopenia is the presence of low muscle mass and low muscle function. The aim of this study was to establish cutoffs for low muscle mass using three published methods and to compare the prevalence of sarcopenia in older Australians.Methods.Gender specific cutoffs levels were identified for low muscle mass using three different methods.

Fat-Free Mass Index as a Surrogate Marker of Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index for Low Muscle Mass Screening in Sarcopenia

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, 2022
We aimed to examine the relationship between the fat-free mass index (FFMI; FFM/height2) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI; ASM/height2), measured using both bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and investigate the effects of age and obesity. We also evaluated the suitability of BIA-measured

Impact of Low Muscle Mass and Low Muscle Strength According to EWGSOP2 and EWGSOP1 in Community-Dwelling Older People

The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, 2020
Abstract Background A universal definition of sarcopenia is still lacking. Since the European criteria have been recently revised, we aimed at studying prevalence of low muscle strength (LMS) and low muscle mass (LMM), as defined according to the European Working Group of Sarcopenia in Older People ...

Use of alfacalcidol in osteoporotic patients with low muscle mass might increase muscle mass: An investigation using a patient database [PDF]

Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2014
AimSarcopenia causes a decline in physical performance and decreased quality of life. However, there is little evidence for effective treatments. Because of the similarities between osteoporosis and sarcopenia, alfacalcidol used for osteoporosis might be beneficial for low muscle mass.

The MUSCLES Treasury Survey I: Motivation and Overview [PDF]

, 2016
Ground- and space-based planet searches employing radial velocity techniques and transit photometry have detected thousands of planet-hosting stars in the Milky Way. The chemistry of these atmospheres is controlled by the shape and absolute flux of the stellar spectral energy distribution, however, flux distributions of relatively inactive low-mass ...
