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 ...

Sarcopenia and catastrophic health expenditure by socio‐economic groups in China: an analysis of household‐based panel data

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2022
Background Sarcopenia was thought to be associated with adverse outcomes and will cause lots of health expenditure. But the relationship between sarcopenia and catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) had been little explored.

Oxytocin is an age-specific circulating hormone that is necessary for muscle maintenance and regeneration. [PDF]

, 2014
The regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle declines with age. Previous studies suggest that this process can be reversed by exposure to young circulation; however, systemic age-specific factors responsible for this phenomenon are largely unknown.

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.

Use machine learning to help identify possible sarcopenia cases in maintenance hemodialysis patients

BMC Nephrology, 2023
Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients often suffer from sarcopenia, which is strongly associated with their long-term mortality. The diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia, especially possible sarcopenia for MHD patients are of great ...

Reference Standards for Lean Mass Measures Using GE Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Caucasian Adults

, 2017
Body composition assessments commonly focus predominantly on fat mass, however lean mass (LM) measurements also provide useful information regarding clinical and nutritional status.

Relationship Between GLIM‐Defined Malnutrition and Postoperative Outcomes After Curative Resection in Patients With Gastroenterological Cancer: Update Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
GLIM‐defined malnutrition probably worsens overall survival in patients with gastroenterological cancer after surgery. ABSTRACT Background In cancer patients, malnutrition worsens postoperative outcomes, with increased complications and poor prognosis.

Changes in sarcopenia and incident cardiovascular disease in prospective cohorts

BMC Medicine
Background Previous studies have identified sarcopenia as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, these studies primarily focused on sarcopenia status at baseline, without considering changes in sarcopenia status during ...

Body composition, IGF1 status, and physical functionality in nonagenarians: implications for osteosarcopenia [PDF]

, 2018
OBJECTIVES: Body composition alterations occur during aging. The purpose of the present analysis was to explore the functional consequences of the overlap of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, and the potential role of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in ...
