Anthropometric parameters as predictors of muscle mass in elderly women

Motricidade, 2015
The aims of study were to analyze the relationship between muscle mass and anthropometric parameters in elderly women and to develop a mathematical model to predict muscle mass based on anthropometric parameters. The study included 63 elderly women (71.4

Effects of muscle mass on muscle force predictions in human movementEffects of muscle mass on muscle force predictions in human movement [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Muscle mass significantly influences skeletal muscle behaviour, potentially explaining why traditional massless Hill-type models struggle to predict the forces generated by larger muscles during dynamic, submaximal contractions.

High risk of malnutrition is associated with low muscle mass in older hospitalized patients - a prospective cohort study

BMC Geriatrics, 2017
Background Malnutrition, low muscle strength and muscle mass are highly prevalent in older hospitalized patients and associated with adverse outcomes. Malnutrition may be a risk factor for developing low muscle mass.

Muscle mass measures and incident osteoporosis in a large cohort of postmenopausal women

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2019
Background Despite several muscle mass measures being used in the current definitions of sarcopenia, their usefulness is uncertain because of limited data on their association with health outcomes.

Pectoralis muscle area and mortality in smokers without airflow obstruction

Respiratory Research, 2018
Background Low muscle mass is associated with increased mortality in the general population but its prognostic value in at-risk smokers, those without expiratory airflow obstruction, is unknown. We aimed to test the hypothesis that reduced muscle mass is

Strength and multiple types of physical activity predict cognitive function independent of low muscle mass in NHANES 1999–2002

Lifestyle Medicine, 2023
Introduction Multiple domains of cognitive function decline with age, resulting in a significant burden on quality of life and the healthcare system. Recent studies increasingly point to links between muscle mass, particularly low muscle mass, and risk ...

Displaced myonuclei are attributable to both resident myonuclear migration and stem cell fusion during mechanical loading in adult skeletal muscle

Skeletal Muscle
Non-peripheral (displaced) myonuclei are characteristic of skeletal muscle pathology and severe injury but also appear after exercise and with aging. Displaced myonuclei are typically attributed to the activity of muscle stem cells, or satellite cells ...
