Does obesity increase the risk and severity of falls in people aged 60 years and older? A systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies
Background Recent investigations suggest that obesity may be associated with an
increased risk of falls; however, this theory has yet to be definitively confirmed. This …

Fall and fracture risk in sarcopenia and dynapenia with and without obesity: the role of lifestyle interventions
Due to their differing etiologies and consequences, it has been proposed that the term
“sarcopenia” should revert to its original definition of age-related muscle mass declines, with …

Strength measures are better than muscle mass measures in predicting health-related outcomes in older people: time to abandon the term sarcopenia?
There is no clear consensus on definition, cut-points or standardised assessments of
sarcopenia. We found a lower limb strength assessment was at least as effective in …
