Awareness of the relationship between lifestyle behaviors, systemic chronic inflammation and the development and progression of these 3 common conditions is a key step in prevention, early detection and are essential for addressing the complex interplay of these musculoskeletal disorders. As the global population ages, understanding and effectively preventing and managing osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and sarcopenia become paramount for promoting healthy aging and mitigating the societal and economic burden associated with these conditions.

MR analysis provided further evidence of a significant detrimental link between genetically predicted CRP levels and essential sarcopenia characteristics, with consistent results across various statistical models. Our study uncovered strong evidence supporting a noteworthy inverse association and causality between CRP concentrations and sarcopenia, indicating that CRP has the potential to serve as a biomarker for sarcopenia.

The study also compared the effects based on repetition maximum (RM) settings, revealing that strength increased significantly regardless of whether RM was used, with studies showing medium effects (with RM: SMD, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.4-0.64; I 2 =0%; P<0.05; without RM: SMD, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.4-0.91; I 2 =72%; P<0.05). The study concludes that strength exercises are beneficial for improving muscle strength in chronic stroke patients, but the use of RM to set exercise intensity is not strictly necessary.

The Impact of Weight Loss Grading Scale, a Measure of Cancer Cachexia, on Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (Halls G-H (San Diego Convention Center)) - Nov 6, 2024 - Abstract #ASH2024ASH_2830; Patients received 7+3 (43%), vyxeos (9%), 7+3+ targeted agent (5%), HMA + venetoclax (30%), HMA alone (6%) or other (6%) as frontline therapy...Therefore, the WLGS could be a potential tool to assess for cachexia and improve risk stratification in AML, especially when considering a patient for transplant or treatment for more adverse disease. Future studies are needed to determine if the incorporation of cachexia-based treatment, specifically for higher risk disease, could potentially improve treatment tolerance and survival.

Journal, HEOR: The impact of nutritional intervention on quality of life and outcomes in patients with head and neck cancers undergoing chemoradiation. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 5, 2024 Despite a rapid deterioration of body composition during treatment, nutritional support helped patients to maintain (or in some cases improve) anthropometric parameters from the end of chemoradiotherapy to the following 3 months. Low prealbumin and albumin pre-treatment led to higher risk of toxicities with consequent reduction of cisplatin dose intensity, whereas weight at the end of the treatment seems to be an interesting predicting factor for disease free and overall survival (p=0.007; p=0.015).

Future directions include refining Asian-specific diagnostic criteria, conducting large-scale epidemiological studies across multiple Asian countries, developing culturally appropriate interventions, integrating sarcopenia management into chronic disease care, and advancing pharmaceutical research with a focus on Asian populations. In conclusion, sarcopenia emerges as a critical nexus in the aging process, intricately linked with multiple organ systems and chronic conditions, underscoring the imperative for its recognition as a cornerstone in person-centered care and the holistic management of age-related health challenges.

In addition, we summarized accumulated studies of natural resources investigating their roles in ameliorating the loss of skeletal muscle mass and demonstrating the underlying mechanisms in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, following the studies of natural resources exerting the preventive activity in muscle mass loss, the signaling-based approaches may accelerate the development of functional foods for sarcopenia prevention.

This review also highlights the ongoing efforts in developing meat-based products that span a spectrum of consistencies, ranging from solid to liquid forms, to accommodate the diverse needs of elderly consumers. Despite these advancements, the review found a discrepancy between the pace of meat product development for the elderly and the rapid advancements in kitchen-level technologies and suggests that further research is needed to bridge this gap and align product innovation with emerging technological trends.
