Image-based methods such as computed tomography for assessing body composition
enables quantification of muscle mass and muscle density and reveals that low muscle …

Muscle wasting increases the risks of morbidity and mortality. But, the reliability of estimates
of the degree of muscle wasting is controversial as are definitions of terms like cachexia …

The age-related loss of skeletal muscle (sarcopenia) is a major health concern as it is
associated with physical disability, metabolic impairments, and increased mortality. The …

Background Body composition data have been limited to adults with disease or older age.
The prognostic impact in otherwise asymptomatic adults is unclear. Purpose To use artificial …

Context: Aging is associated with insulin resistance and unfavorable changes in body
composition including increased fat accumulation, particularly in visceral and ectopic …

Inflammation can arise in response to a variety of stimuli, including infectious agents, tissue
injury, autoimmune diseases, and obesity. Some of these responses are acute and resolve …

Despite skeletal muscle's central role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia, measurement
methods remain underinvestigated and inadequately validated. Our review indicates that …

Background Even though skeletal muscle (SM) is the largest body compartment in most
adults and a key phenotypic marker of sarcopenia and cachexia, SM mass was until recently …

The interplay between adipose tissue and skeletal muscle and the impact on mobility and
aging remain enigmatic. The progressive decline in mobility promoted by aging has been …

Ageing is a complex biological process associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
Nine classic, interdependent hallmarks of ageing have been proposed involving genetic and …
