The following 14 risk factors were significantly associated with frailty: at risk of malnutrition, sarcopenia, severe mobility limitation, poor social capital, rural dwellers, depressive symptoms, poor self-perceived health, polypharmacy, elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, elevated glycosylated hemoglobin, low 25-hydroxy vitamin D level, longer Timed Up and Go, and low Short Physical Performance Battery score (p < 0.05). Physiconutritional, psychological, sociodemographic, and medical factors are strongly associated with frailty.

Results from the present study indicated an association between manual grip strength and multimorbidity among this population, and the effect measures were greater in men. Manual grip strength proved to be a good marker of health in this population, especially in those who did not present with myopenia.

Sarcopenia is a key indicator of adverse outcomes in patients with cirrhosis, such as hepatic decompensation, poor quality of life and premature mortality. Patients with NAFLD and advanced fibrosis/cirrhosis should undergo anthropometric measures (hand grip strength), dry body mass index and measures of physical frailty (including muscle function, not just mass) to enable targeted early interventions of nutrition (low fat, 1.5g/kg/day protein intake, 2-3 hourly food intake) and exercise (combined resistance and aerobic).

In contrast, inhibition of cPLA in vivo mitigates LOOH production and muscle atrophy and maintains individual muscle fiber size while decreasing oxidative damage. Overall, we show that loss of innervation in several muscle atrophy models including aging induces generation of LOOHs produced by arachidonic acid metabolism in the cPLA pathway contributing to loss of muscle mass.

Nitrate supplementation did not change the abundance of calcium-handling proteins in the diaphragm of old mice, in contrast with findings from the limb muscles of young mice in previous studies. Our findings suggest that nitrate supplementation enhances myofibrillar protein function without affecting the phosphorylation status of key myofibrillar proteins.

Anti-osteoporotic drugs are effective and well tolerated in the geriatric population and should be initiated to prevent fractures in high risk cohorts and for secondary prevention. Recently, coordinator-based fracture liaison services have been shown to effectively reduce fracture risk in the high risk geriatric population.
