Muscle Quality is More Impaired in Sarcopenic Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Quadriceps muscle fiber atrophy and a loss of oxidative type I muscle fibers and mitochondrial content often occur in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which adversely affects exercise performance. Sarcopenia is an age-related syndrome characterized by wasting and weakness of muscle mass. We re...

Muscle Strength and Body Weight Mediate the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Usual Gait Speed
Usual gait speed (UGS) is recognized as a good indicator of a variety of health conditions as well as a predictor of future disability and mortality. There is evidence that UGS increases with physical activity. Muscle function and body composition changes may mediate these changes. However, we do not know ...

Muscle Strength and Functional Limitations: Preserving Function in Older Mexican Americans
Understanding the role of muscle strength as a preventive factor for shorter-term declines in function may provide further insights into the disabling process. This study examined if muscle strength was associated with 2-year preservation of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) function and activ...

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 ...

Muscle Ultrasound and Sarcopenia in Older Individuals: A Clinical Perspective
A precise quantitative measurement of skeletal muscle mass is fundamental for diagnosing sarcopenia in older individuals. The current techniques of assessment, including dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioimpedance analysis (BIA), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are either difficult to perform...
