Predictive Model Development and Validation for Low Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass in Chinese Older Adults

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
This predictive model divides the low ASMI into three risk categories. Older adults in the low‐risk category, for whom SMM measurement is probably unnecessary. ABSTRACT Objectives Low skeletal muscle mass is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Due to constraints related to cost and equipment availability, direct measurement of skeletal muscle ...

Association between sarcopenia and multimorbidity among middle-aged and older adults in China: Findings from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study

Experimental Gerontology
Background: Little is known about the association between sarcopenia and multimorbidity among middle-aged and older adults. This study investigated whether sarcopenia is associated with multimorbidity in middle-aged and older Chinese individuals ...

Impact of Body Weight Loss During Preoperative Chemoradiotherapy on Prognosis of Patients With Lower Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between changes in body weight and composition during chemoradiotherapy, such as the psoas muscle mass index, visceral fat index, and subcutaneous fat index obtained from computed tomography images, and long‐term outcomes in rectal cancer patients.

Is home-based, high-intensity interval training cycling feasible and safe for patients with knee osteoarthritis? Study protocol for a randomized pilot study [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease affecting the knee joint of many middle-aged and older adults. As OA symptoms typically involve knee pain and stiffness, individuals with knee OA are often insufficiently physically active ...

Psoas Muscle Volume as a Predictor of Postoperative Complications in Patients Undergoing Emergency Surgery for Strangulated Small Bowel Obstruction: A Retrospective Single‐Center Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study identified low preoperative psoas muscle volume, measured by computed tomography, as an independent predictor of postoperative complications in patients undergoing emergency surgery for strangulated small bowel obstruction. Low psoas muscle volume, particularly in older adults, was associated with cardiopulmonary and systemic ...

Novel individualized power training protocol preserves physical function in adult and older mice [PDF]

, 2019
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, contributes to frailty, functional decline, and reduced quality of life in older adults. Exercise is a recognized therapy for sarcopenia and muscle dysfunction, though not a cure. Muscle power

Prognostic Value of Psoas Major Muscle Volume in Assessing Sarcopenia in Elderly Patients With Rectal Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study investigates the prognostic utility of a novel volumetric indicator—psoas volume index (PVI)—for assessing sarcopenia in elderly rectal cancer patients. Sarcopenia classified by our proposed PVI cut‐off values was associated with poor nutritional and inflammatory status, and patients with low PVI showed significantly worse long‐term outcomes.

Prognostic Significance of Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Treated With Chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To examine the significance of portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) as a prognostic factor for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery. Methods The study retrospectively examined 313 patients with borderline resectable (BR) or locally advanced (LA) PDAC who underwent CRT ...
