This study aimed to evaluate the association between skeletal muscle mass and long-term
all-cause mortality among nonagenarians and centenarians in China. We used data from …

Objective Obesity (as defined by body mass index) has not been associated consistently
with higher mortality in older adults. However, total body mass includes fat and muscle …

Aim The most appropriate muscle index for the definition of sarcopenia has not been agreed
on. We aimed to investigate the associations of muscle mass and strength with 5‐year …

Background and aim Body mass index (BMI) has a U-shaped relationship with mortality
among the elderly, in contrast to the general adult population. Skeletal muscle mass may be …

Sarcopenia comprises a loss of muscle function and muscle mass. So far, the association
between the later and mortality in older adults is inconsistent. A meta-analysis was …

Background Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, may not be an isolated
process but is associated with an increase in fat mass. The aim of this study was to estimate …

Background. Although muscle strength and mass are highly correlated, the relationship
between direct measures of low muscle mass (sarcopenia) and strength in association with …

Methods We aimed to prospectively examine individual and joint associations of low muscle
mass and low muscle strength with all-cause mortality in a nationally representative sample …

Aging is associated with changes in body composition and muscle strength. This review
aimed to determine the relation between different body composition measures and muscle …

OBJECTIVES: To assess relationships between low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and
functional decline in community-dwelling elderly women. DESIGN: Secondary analysis of …
