Almost 50% of LT recipients had sarcopenia, who had a higher incidence of postoperative sepsis, neurological complications, longer ICU stay and ventilatory support. Low SMI, ACLF presentation, and intraoperative blood loss were the independent predictors of early mortality.

Using the more conservative diagnostic criteria the negative predictive value was: 85.4%, sufficient to rule out those not at risk of having sarcopenia and eliminate the need for further investigations. A valid Romanian Sarc-F questionnaire is now available to simply detect patients at risk/no risk of sarcopenia.

We found a modest-to-significant increase in the plasma markers of inflammation, oxidative stress and muscle damage, which had varying degrees of correlations with Dkk-3, CAF22 and selected micro RNAs (miRs) in respiratory diseases. Taken together, our data show that plasma levels of Dkk-3, CAF22 and selected miRs can be useful tools to assess accelerated sarcopenia phenotype in the elderly with respiratory diseases.

Besides, we explored the role of nutrition as a possible way to counteract the loss of muscle mass and function associated with ageing, with special attention paid to nutrient-dependent miRNAs regulation. This review will provide important information to better understand sarcopenia and, thus, to facilitate research and therapeutic strategies to counteract the pathophysiological effect of ageing.

This review will provide important information to better understand sarcopenia and, thus, to facilitate research and therapeutic strategies to counteract the pathophysiological effect of ageing. Visceral obesity does not seem to affect long‐term outcomes of patients with CRC, while sarcopenia presents a negative prognostic impact on both OS and CRS.

Further investigation is needed with better methods and outcome that focuses on chemotherapy toxicity and quality of life.

The prevalence of S and SO has an aging increase pattern contrary to O. Both S and SO tend to be older, lower educational level, without spouse, smoking, comorbidity of chronic disease, poor nutrition status, depression and cognitive decline compared to H and S looks like to be worse than SO. Besides, the S subjects seem to have more metabolic index changes than SO compared to H. While O subjects have some contrary metabolic index to S subjects.
