Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2014 Aging process can be characterized as a spontaneous decrease of function in various organs with age. Muscle, as a big organ of human body, undergoes aging process presenting with loss of muscle mass, "sarcopenia". Recently, several working groups have tried to make consensus about sarcopenia for definition and diagnosis.

Does Modified 5‐Item Frailty Index Correlate With Survival in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma?
Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer (OPSCC) is a common subtype of head and neck cancer. It is generally stratified into high, intermediate, and low risk prognostic groups on the basis of HPV (human papillomavirus) status and smoking history (Ang risk stratification).

Transplant International, 2018 van Vugt and colleagues found that sarcopenia is an independent risk factor for increased hospital costs for liver transplant candidates. (1) They report that diminished muscle mass measured on CT imaging as the skeletal muscle index (SMI, cm2 muscle area/m2 patient height) is strongly associated with increased hospitalizations and cost of care.

Fuel for Recovery: Predicting G‐Tube Dependence in HPV‐Negative Operable HNSCC
Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background HPV‐negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients can face prolonged gastrostomy tube (g‐tube) dependence, affecting quality of life and delaying treatment. Existing models lack key health metrics like sarcopenia; this study develops a risk model to enhance preoperative assessment.
