Background Sarcopenia is a progressive, systemic skeletal muscle disorder. Resistance
exercise and physical activity have been proven effective in its treatment, but consensus on …

(1) Background: Prevalence studies on hospital malnutrition are still scarce in the Middle
East region despite recent global recognition of clinical malnutrition as a healthcare priority …

Background and aims Early identification of people at risk of cancer-related malnutrition, low
muscle mass (LMM) and sarcopenia is crucial to mitigate the impact of adverse outcomes …

Background Older patients with cancer present intense loss of muscle mass (MM). Calf
circumference (CC) is a simple measurement that assesses MM. This study analyzed the …

Technological methods such as BIA or DXA are not always accessible in clinical practice,
thus GLIM supports the use of calf circumference measurements to examine muscle mass …

Background & aims Functional muscle quality, as assessed through the muscle quality index
(MQI), represents a contemporary method to measure the capacity to generate force …

Abstract Introduction The scored Patient‐Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG‐
SGA©) is a validated tool for the screening, assessment and monitoring of malnutrition, and …

Objective Given the innovative nature of the method, our study aimed to assess the
prognostic significance of body mass index (BMI)-adjusted calf circumference (CC) in older …

Objective To investigate the relationship between oral frailty (OF), nutrient intake and calf
circumference (CC) in middle-aged and older adults. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting …

Background Adiposity can influence the estimation of muscle mass using calf circumference
(CC) and underestimate the frequency of low CC. An adjustment for CC using body mass …
