The study aimed to explore the association between the combination of osteoporosis and sarcopenia and the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in Chinese community-dwelling older adults.
Although daily-life gait speed (DGS) may better reflect real-world walking than laboratory- or clinic-based gait speed (LGS), it is unclear whether DGS provides superior discriminatory value for clinical outcomes. We compared LGS and DGS on their discriminative abilities concerning the risk of prefrailty/f...
Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), a core parameter for sarcopenia diagnosis, is difficult to measure in primary care facilities lacking specialized equipment. This study was conducted to develop and validate an ASM prediction equation based on simple anthropometric and demographic indices.
Handgrip strength (HGS) is a cornerstone of sarcopenia assessment, but its utility for screening is debated, partly because of its role as both a screener and a diagnostic component. This study aimed to evaluate pinch strength, a measure of fine motor function, as an alternative to HGS for predicting sarco...
To clarify the association between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), a marker of systemic inflammation, and sarcopenia by systematically reviewing and meta-analyzing existing evidence.
Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an important biomarker associated with various physiological processes and diseases. Although alkaline phosphatase's impact on health has been extensively studied, its specific relationship with sarcopenia remains unclear.
Calf circumference (CC) is a widely acknowledged indicator of skeletal muscle mass within the current consensus among experts. Nevertheless, the relationship between low calf circumference and new-onset sarcopenia remains unclear within the realm of prospective cohort studies.
The relationship between sarcopenia and the long-term risk of hospitalization for infectious diseases is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate this relationship using a large prospective Caucasian cohort from the UK Biobank.
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...
