Impact of Sarcopenia and Obesity on Gait Speed After Total Knee Replacement
Older adults with sarcopenic obesity have a higher risk of experiencing mobility difficulty. Additionally, sarcopenia and obesity are closely associated with knee osteoarthritis. This study investigated the associations of sarcopenia, obesity, and in combination of both with walking disability during posto...

Management of Sarcopenia: A Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
This study aimed to determine the comparative effectiveness of interventions in treatment of sarcopenia. The primary outcome was the measure of treatment effect on muscle mass, and secondary outcomes were the treatment effect on muscle strength and physical performance.

Breakfast Protein Quality and Muscle Strength in Japanese Older Adults: A Community-Based Longitudinal Study
The amount of breakfast protein intake is important for maintaining muscle strength. However, the effect of breakfast protein quality (ie, bioavailability) remains unclear. We investigated the association between breakfast protein quality and the incidence of muscle weakness.

Malnutrition in Relation to Muscle Mass, Muscle Quality, and Muscle Strength in Hospitalized Older Adults
Muscle quality is an essential muscle metric, which can be assessed by measuring intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) and skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD) via computed tomography (CT) images. We aimed to explore the associations of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM)–defined malnutrition w...

Cut Points of Chair Stand Test for Poor Physical Function and Its Association With Adverse Health Outcomes in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Study
To identify the optimal cutoff points for poor physical function [measured by a 5-times sit-to-stand (5-STS) test] associated with slowness in community-dwelling older adults and to validate the 5-STS cut points by determining whether they predicted future slowness and clinically relevant health outcomes o...

Is High-Speed Resistance Training an Efficient and Feasible Exercise Strategy for Frail Nursing Home Residents?
High-speed resistance training (HSRT) has been strongly recommended by experts in the field as a possible strategy to manage frailty in older adults; however, investigations to support this hypothesis are still lacking. Frailty is highly prevalent in nursing home residents and understanding if HSRT might c...

Estimation of Muscle Mass Using Creatinine/Cystatin C Ratio in Japanese Community-Dwelling Older People
Sarcopenia is defined as a combination of low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI), weak muscle strength, and reduced physical function. Recently, many studies have reported that the creatinine/cystatin C ratio (Cr/CysC) is useful for evaluating muscle mass. We designed a cross-sectional study with separate mo...
