The association between weight-adjusted-waist index and sarcopenia in adults: a population-based study

Scientific Reports
AbstractThis study aims to investigate the relationship between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), a new body index, and sarcopenia, while also assessing the potential of WWI as a tool for screening sarcopenic patients. The cross-sectional study involved adults who possessed complete data on WWI and appendicular skeletal muscle mass from the 1999–2006 ...

Mid‐upper arm circumference, steatosis indices, and elastography for screening liver steatosis in children with overweight/obesity: A prospective cross‐sectional study

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is common in children, and practical screening approaches are needed in populations with overweight/obesity. We aimed to evaluate mid‐upper arm circumference (MUAC) as a simple marker for ultrasonography (US)‐detected liver steatosis (LS) in children with overweight ...

The Effects of Biologic Agents on Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness and Hepatic Steatosis in Patients With Moderate‐To‐Severe Psoriasis: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
In this prospective observational cohort study, 34 patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis received biologic therapy (anti‐TNF‐α, anti‐IL‐12/23, or anti‐IL‐17) for 6 months. Carotid intima–media thickness decreased significantly in the overall cohort (p < 0.01), with the greatest reductions in the anti‐IL‐17 and anti‐IL‐12/23 groups.
