Sarcopenia and obesity

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2019
Together with age-related body composition changes, the increased prevalence of obesity observed in the past few decades in older individuals has led to a condition called sarcopenic obesity, characterized by a mismatch between muscle mass and fat mass. The operative definition of sarcopenic obesity is still under discussion and creates difficulties in

Identifying sarcopenia

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2012
The present review describes and discusses the currently available definitions for sarcopenia from consensus studies.Different sarcopenia definitions have been proposed in these last years. Six main approaches to an operative definition of sarcopenia have been identified.

Exercise and Sarcopenia

Journal of Clinical Densitometry, 2015
Sarcopenia is a major component of the frailty syndrome and is also a strong predictor of disability, morbidity, and mortality in older persons. Without any available pharmacological intervention to sarcopenia, non-pharmacological interventions are the only option to prevent these poor outcomes in sarcopenic patients.

Consequences of Sarcopenia

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2011
This article describes the relationship of sarcopenia and dynapenia with three important outcomes in aging research: functional status, falls, and mortality. The data from epidemiologic studies conducted in large samples of older men and women suggest that muscle functioning, as indicated by muscle strength or muscle power, has a strong impact on ...

Sarcopenia should stay sarcopenia

2012
to the editor: Sarcopenia has been defined initially as the decrease of muscle mass and function during aging. As pointed out by Hepple et al. (2), this definition has been extended to muscle atrophy situations such as undernourishment or acute catabolic states (ACS) like sepsis and cancer.

Malnutrition and sarcopenia

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2019
Risk for or established malnutrition is frequent in older adults, accompanied by functional limitations, increased morbidity and mortality. Protein-energy malnutrition is often observed and leads besides other predisposing factors to sarcopenia, the increased loss of muscle mass with aging.

Sarcopenia

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2015
To highlight the new international definitions of sarcopenia.New international definitions of sarcopenia have been evaluated and shown to be predictive of poor outcomes in older persons.There is now international agreement that the definition for sarcopenia should include not only muscle mass, but also some measure of muscle function, such as walking ...

Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis

Gerontology
Background: Sarcopenia and osteoporosis are common age-related conditions that frequently coexist, forming a syndrome known as osteosarcopenia. Sarcopenia is defined by the progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, while osteoporosis is characterized by reduced bone mineral density and altered bone quality.

The Epidemiology of Sarcopenia

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2011
The term sarcopenia was coined in 1989 and refers to the age-related loss in skeletal muscle mass. Operational definitions of sarcopenia have been used in research studies to identify older persons with healthy muscle mass values (normal) and older adults with unacceptably low muscle mass values (sarcopenic). Despite the enormous research on sarcopenia
