Exercise improves key components of physical frailty (functional/aerobic capacity, sarcopenia) and quality of life in chronic liver disease and after liver transplantation. Understanding the type, compliance, intensity and duration of exercise and its impact on hard clinical outcomes should be the focus of future large controlled clinical trials.

- |||||||||| Clinical, Journal: Lower Extremity Exercise Improves Functional Fitness, Physiological Indexes, Exercise Self-Efficacy, Sleep Quality, and Mental Health in Middle-Aged and Older Individuals (Pubmed Central) - May 23, 2020
The lower-extremity muscle exercise program significantly improved functional fitness, physiological indexes, exercise self-efficacy, sleep quality, and overall mental health status in the experimental group, as compared to the control group (p < .05). It is recommended that the concept and application of lower extremity movement intervention should be popularized among middle-aged and older individuals to promote physical and mental health, prevent the decline and loss of lower extremity muscle strength, and help realize healthy aging goals.

- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] SARCOPENIA AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS () - May 22, 2020 - Abstract #EULAR2020EULAR_4210;
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis had not only bone tissue, but also skeletal muscle tissue disorders, resulting in a significant deterioration of functional capacity and quality of life. Given the significant medical and social significance of the problem, further studies into the mechanisms of pathogenesis, development of diagnostic methods, prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis are required.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] BODY COMPOSITION IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS () - May 22, 2020 - Abstract #EULAR2020EULAR_4022;
Given the significant medical and social significance of the problem, further studies into the mechanisms of pathogenesis, development of diagnostic methods, prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis are required. About 97% women with RA had abnormal body composition phenotype: 16,5% - OP, 8.9% -osteosarcopenia, 16,5% - osteosarcopenic obesity and 54,4% - overfat.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] SARC-F PERFORMANCE FOR SARCOPENIA SCREENING IN PATIENTS WITH SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS (Poster View) - May 22, 2020 - Abstract #EULAR2020EULAR_3631;
This is the first study to evaluate the performance of SARC-F questionnaire for sarcopenia screening in patients with SSc. Although it appropriately identifies severe cases of sarcopenia, the SARC-F alone may not be an adequate screening tool in high-risk populations, such as SSc, that may benefit from early intervention and treatment.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] PSORIATIC DISEASE AND BODY COMPOSITION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE () - May 22, 2020 - Abstract #EULAR2020EULAR_3048;
There is an increased prevalence of metabolic, anthropometric and internal body composition derangements in psoriatic patients compared with controls, and these changes seem to be independent of obesity and the customary metabolic syndrome, including higher overall body fat, visceral fat and sarcopenia. Our study highlights the applicability of several imaging techniques in the evaluation of body composition in psoriatic patients, including some novel automated systems, and future studies should focus on validation and standardization of assessment tools both in research and clinical practice.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] SARCOPENIA AND HIP FRACTURE IN GERIATRIC POPULATION () - May 22, 2020 - Abstract #EULAR2020EULAR_2597;
SSc patients with most severe microvascular damage show a significantly altered body composition and bone status suggesting a strong link between microvascular failure and associated muscle/bone sufference. The presence of sarcopenia indicates consequently reduced functionality and a degree of disability in patients with hip fractures, slows recovery and increases the need for mobility aids, thus extending hospital stay and patient recovery.
- |||||||||| [VIRTUAL] SARCOPENIA IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (Poster View) - May 22, 2020 - Abstract #EULAR2020EULAR_2402;
Longer disease duration and higher disease activity should lead to development of sarcopenia due to chronic inflammation. Sarcopenia potentially effects patients’ social lives and daily functions and conceive decrease quality of life.
