Recent sarcopenia definitions—prevalence, agreement and mortality associations among men: Findings from population‐based cohorts

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 14, Issue 1, Page 565-575, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The 2019 European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP2) and the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) have recently proposed sarcopenia definitions. However, comparisons of the performance of these approaches in terms of thresholds employed, concordance in individuals and prediction of important ...

Frailty trajectories in community‐dwelling older adults during COVID‐19 pandemic: The PRESTIGE study

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Frailty has been recognized as potential surrogate of biological age and relevant risk factor for COVID‐19 severity. Thus, it is important to explore the frailty trajectories during COVID‐19 pandemic and understand how COVID‐19 directly and indirectly impacts on frailty condition.

Gender differences in risk factors for the 2 year development of sarcopenia in community‐dwelling older adults

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 1908-1918, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Sarcopenia is an age‐related chronic condition that can lead to mobility disabilities. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for incident sarcopenia in older Korean adults. Methods The Korean Frailty and Aging Cohort Study (KFACS) is a multicentre prospective study with a baseline examination in 2016–2017.

Evaluating quality of life in frailty: applicability and clinimetric properties of the SarQoL® questionnaire

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 319-330, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Background The SarQoL® questionnaire was specifically designed to measure quality of life (QoL) in sarcopenia. Frailty and sarcopenia have areas of overlap, notably weak muscle strength and slow gait speed, which may mean that the SarQoL could provide a measure of QoL in frailty.

Mortality in malnourished older adults diagnosed by ESPEN and GLIM criteria in the SarcoPhAge study

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 1200-1211, October 2020., 2020
Abstract Background The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria have been recently launched by consensus of the major nutrition societies. GLIM criteria are partly constructed on the previous definition of malnutrition developed by the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN).

Osteosarcopenia: epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment—facts and numbers

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 609-618, June 2020., 2020
Abstract Background Osteosarcopenia, the presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia, is an emerging geriatric giant, which poses a serious global health burden. Methods and results The prevalence of osteosarcopenia ranges in community‐dwelling older adults [5–37% (≥65 years)] with the highest rates observed in those with fractures (low‐trauma ...

Osteosarcopenia in Chronic Kidney Disease: An Overlooked Syndrome?

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Healthy ageing relies on maintaining physiological systems, particularly the musculoskeletal system (MKS). After 50, declines in bone density, muscle mass and strength increase the risk of osteoporosis and sarcopenia, leading to frailty, fractures and higher healthcare costs.

Overall mortality for community‐dwelling adults over 50 years at risk of malnutrition

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 15, Issue 6, Page 2509-2518, December 2024.
Abstract Background It is well reported that malnutrition in acute care is associated with poorer health outcomes including increased mortality. However, the consequences of malnutrition on survival in community settings is uncertain. Malnutrition in people 65 years or over is often cited.

Floral interventions enhance flower visitor communities and pollination services in moringa plantations

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 90-102, January 2024.
Our results provide clear evidence that floral interventions in the form of intercropping and border cropping can enhance pollinator communities and services they provide in tropical smallholder systems. These findings underpin a practical management option for farmers to enhance flower visitor communities and pollination services, which can ...
