Fat infiltration in skeletal muscle (also known as myosteatosis) is now recognized as a
distinct disease from sarcopenia and is directly related to declining muscle capacity. Hence …

Exercise rehabilitation is a well-established therapy for reducing morbidity and mortality and
improving quality of life and function across chronic conditions. People with dialysis …

Background/Aims: Myosteatosis implies impaired muscle quality. The aim of the study was to
investigate the association of myosteatosis with other muscle abnormalities and its role in …

Muscle wasting and low muscle mass are prominent features of protein energy wasting
(PEW), sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in older individuals is a matter of growing concern in the field
of public health across the globe. Indeed, prevalence of kidney function impairment …

The gold standard to estimate muscle mass and quality is computed tomography (CT) scan.
Lower mass and density (intramuscular fat infiltration) of skeletal muscles are markers of …

We aimed to examine the relationship between abdominal computed tomography (CT)-
based body composition data and both renal function decline and all-cause mortality in …

Objective: To explore the association between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and
sarcopenic obesity (SO) in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Methods: A …

The present study aimed to compare V̇O 2 max (absolute, adjusted to total body mass, and
adjusted to lean mass) in recreational runners and sedentary women< and> 50 yr and verify …

Background Low muscle mass quantity and quality (myosteatosis) can be evaluated by
computed tomography (CT) by measuring skeletal muscle area and muscular attenuation …
