Simplifying Sarcopenia Screening: A Community-Based Evaluation of Screening and Assessment Combinations
Sarcopenia is a serious condition in older individuals, characterized by muscle loss and physical decline. Early detection is crucial but challenging due to subtle symptoms. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 consensus recommends detection for possible sarcopenia, but the effectiveness of t...

Prognostic Value of Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium Criteria in Older Patients with Heart Failure
The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia in 2019 (AWGS 2019) emphasized muscle mass measurements. In contrast, the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) prioritizes functional strength and mobility. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the prognostic utility of the SDOC and AWGS 2019 criter...

Muscle Strength Comparison in Immune-Mediated Rheumatic Disease vs Healthy Adults: A Meta-Analysis
Patients with immune-mediated rheumatic diseases (IMRDs) often exhibit reduced muscle strength. Therefore, this review aimed to evaluate muscle strength in patients with IMRDs compared with healthy control and to summarize the relationship between low muscle strength and clinical features in patients with ...

Body Weight and Composition Changes in Geriatric Rehabilitation Are Dependent on Sarcopenia and Malnutrition: RESORT
Body weight and muscle mass loss following an acute hospitalization in older patients may be influenced by malnutrition and sarcopenia among other factors. This study aimed to assess the changes in body weight and composition from admission to discharge and the geriatric variables associated with the chang...

Clinical Impact of Improvement in Sarcopenia through Cardiac Rehabilitation in Patients with Heart Failure
Sarcopenia in patients with heart failure (HF) is associated with poor prognosis. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) decreases the incidence of adverse events in patients with HF. However, the clinical implications of improving sarcopenia status through CR remain unclear. This study investigated the relationship ...

Associations between Osteosarcopenia and Falls, Fractures, and Frailty in Older Adults: Results From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA)
To explore if older adults with osteosarcopenia are at a greater risk of falls, fractures, frailty, and worsening life satisfaction and activities of daily living (ADL) compared to those with normal bone mineral density (BMD) and without sarcopenia.
