Association Between Dietary Patterns and Sarcopenia in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Sarcopenia is a prevalent and debilitating complication in patients with liver cirrhosis, contributing to poor clinical outcomes. Although diet quality is believed to influence muscle health, the role of overall dietary patterns in patients with cirrhosis remains inadequately explored.

Co‐Contraction Training Induces Muscle Hypertrophy but Not Strength Gains in Older Adults: A Controlled Intervention Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Aging is associated with neuromuscular decline, impairing function and independence. Resistance training mitigates these effects; however, in some contexts, barriers such as access to facilities, transportation, and adherence may limit participation, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged and community‐dwelling older ...

Exercise Modalities to Preserve Muscle Mass and Bone Health After Metabolic Bariatric Surgery

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) effectively reduces fat mass (FM), but how to best preserve muscle and bone mass after MBS is unknown. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of aerobic, resistance and combined exercise regimens on body composition, bone mineral density (BMD) and physical function in adults following MBS.

Muscle Health and Prognosis in Patients With Cancer: New Insights

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Reduced muscle mass and impaired composition have each been independently associated with worse outcomes in patients with cancer. However, emerging evidence suggests that reduced muscle strength—namely, dynapenia—may be particularly important for prognostication, as it is easier to assess in clinical practice compared to muscle mass.
