Sarcopenia was a strong predictor of 1-year adverse outcomes among acutely ill older outpatients. Combining handgrip strength with calf circumference may be a practical and efficient approach to screen for sarcopenia, and thereby identify high-risk older adults in busy clinical settings.

Given the lack of equivalence from individual muscle groups, we recommend that further work be undertaken to investigate which muscle group, or indeed whether the gold standard of whole L3 skeletal muscle, provides the best correlation with clinical outcomes. Overall, our findings show that sustaining nutritional support might be clinically relevant in increasing physical performance in elderly malnourished patients and that the use of specific BCAAem might ameliorate also cognitive performance thanks to an amelioration of mitochondria bioenergetics.

Both sarcopenia and visceral obesity were associated with adverse outcomes in severe CD patients whereas usual nutritional assessment was not. Our network displayed excellent ability to analyze diverse body composition phenotypes and clinical cohorts, which will create feasible opportunities to advance our capacity to predict health outcomes in clinical populations.
- |||||||||| Clinical, Journal: Increased arterial velocity pulse index is an independent factor related to skeletal muscle mass reduction and tissue damage in patients with cardiovascular disease. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 18, 2021
Stepwise multivariate regression analysis showed that sex, age, PA, hypertension, and AVI were factors independently correlated with SMI. In conclusion, advanced vascular damage, such as increased arterial stiffness and peripheral resistance, might play an important role in the reduction in skeletal muscle mass, possibly through damage to skeletal muscle tissue in CVD patients.

For this reason, appropriate identification and management of NAFLD are clinically relevant particularly in the group of older patients with type 2 diabetes. In this regard, clinicians should consider the peculiar characteristics of elderly patients, such as frailty, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy.
- |||||||||| Preclinical, Journal: Measuring Exercise Capacity and Physical Function in Adult and Older Mice. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 18, 2021
We found that there was an overall age-related significant decline (p&0.05) in all measurements, and the CFAB score demonstrated that some individual mice (the upper quartile) retained the functional capacity of average mice one cohort younger. We conclude that the CFAB is a powerful, repeatable and non-invasive tool to assess and compare physical function and assess complex motor task ability in mice, which will enable researchers to easily track performance at the individual mouse level.

We conclude that the CFAB is a powerful, repeatable and non-invasive tool to assess and compare physical function and assess complex motor task ability in mice, which will enable researchers to easily track performance at the individual mouse level. No abstract available
- |||||||||| Journal: Neuroprotective effects of exercise on the aging human neuromuscular system. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 18, 2021
Although there is some discrepancy across studies of masters athletes, if one considers all experimental limitations as well as the available literature in animals, there is compelling evidence of a protective effect of chronic physical training on human MUs. Our tenet is that high-levels of physical activity can mitigate the natural trajectory of loss of quantity and quality of MUs in old age.
