Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurements of body composition increasingly
are used in the evaluation of clinical disorders, but there has been little guidance on how to …

Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement of muscle
mass, but the techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, the literature does not …

Background & aims Impaired anabolic responses to nutrition and exercise contribute to loss
of skeletal muscle mass with ageing (sarcopenia). Here, we tested responses of muscle …

Dysregulated anabolic responses to nutrition/exercise may contribute to sarcopenia;
however, these characteristics are poorly defined in female populations. We determined the …

Objective To establish muscle-specific cut-off values for ultrasound-based detection of low
muscle mass, and to assess its prevalence in a population of frail older subjects when …

Objective To determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in a population of obese older women
and to assess the effect of a diet moderately rich in proteins on lean mass in sarcopenic …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a resistance training program (RTP) in
older overweight women (OOW) using two different types of elastic devices. Methods: This …

Background Multiple chronic conditions and low skeletal muscle mass are common features
of aging that are detrimental to physical performance. This study evaluates the simultaneous …

Background Although aging is a process associated with the development of obesity,
metabolic syndrome (MetS), and sarcopenia, the prevalence of these conditions in older …

Background Sarcopenia is a multifactorial geriatric syndrome with complex
interrelationships. Increased plasma levels of inflammatory mediators increase the catabolic …
