The Joint Occurrence of Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia (Osteosarcopenia): Definitions and Characteristics
We sought to examine the associations of osteosarcopenia with physical performance, balance, and falls and fractures in community-dwelling older adults. Additionally, we aimed to determine which clinical outcomes are associated with specific components of osteosarcopenia.

Bilateral Anterior Thigh Thickness: A New Diagnostic Tool for the Identification of Low Muscle Mass?
To develop an ultrasonographic scanning protocol that included an assessment of muscle size [the proposed Bilateral Anterior Thigh Thickness (BATT)] and quality (echogenicity) to support the diagnosis of sarcopenia in a clinical setting. To determine the relationship of BATT and ultrasound echogenicity wit...

The Usefulness of an Alternative Diagnostic Method for Sarcopenia Using Thickness and Echo Intensity of Lower Leg Muscles in Older Males
Sarcopenia is diagnosed on the basis of skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength/function; however, simpler and more accurate measures for muscle mass and muscle strength/function should be explored using ultrasonography. This study aimed to investigate a new screening method using ultrasonography to diagn...

Definition of Respiratory Sarcopenia With Peak Expiratory Flow Rate
Respiratory muscle strength decreases with advancing age, and respiratory muscle dysfunction may indicate respiratory sarcopenia. However, there is no consensus regarding the definition of respiratory sarcopenia. We aimed to create a definition of respiratory sarcopenia based on the peak expiratory flow ra...

Body Composition, IGF1 Status, and Physical Functionality in Nonagenarians: Implications for Osteosarcopenia
Body composition alterations occur during aging. The purpose of the present analysis was to explore the functional consequences of the overlap of sarcopenia and osteoporosis, and the potential role of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in their development in the oldest old.
