Obesity is associated with functional limitations in muscle performance and increased
likelihood of developing a functional disability such as mobility, strength, postural and …

Purpose Measurement of muscle mass is paramount in the screening and diagnosis of
sarcopenia. Besides muscle quantity however, also quality assessment is important …

Skeletal muscle accumulates intramuscular fat through age and obesity. Muscle quality, a
measure of muscle strength per unit size, decreases in these conditions. It is not clear how …

Background The assessment of muscle mass is a key determinant of the diagnosis of
sarcopenia. We introduce for the first time an ultrasound imaging method for diagnosing …

Background: Resistance training (RT) improves muscle strength and overall physical
function in older adults. RT may be particularly important in the obese elderly who have …

The revised European consensus defined sarcopenia as a progressive and generalized
skeletal muscle disorder that is associated with an increased likelihood of adverse outcomes …

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is escalating in South Asian countries. South
Asians display higher total and abdominal obesity at a lower BMI when compared to Whites …

Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is referred to as the combination of obesity with low skeletal muscle
mass and function. However, its definition and diagnosis is debated. SO represents a …

Background Obesity alters whole body kinematics and joint kinetics during activities of daily
living which are thought to contribute to increased risk of musculoskeletal injury …
