Background: Sarcopenia is associated with loss of muscle mass and an increased risk of
physical disability in elderly people. However, the prevalence of sarcopenia has increased …

Objectives: To examine the prevalence of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO) as
defined by different indices, including appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM)/height 2 …

Sarcopenia, the lowered skeletal muscle mass, weakened skeletal muscle strength, and
reduced physical performance with aging, is a component of frailty and high-risk factor for …

The important changes in body composition associated with aging are a decline in skeletal
muscle mass and an increase in body fat. Body fat distribution also changes with age; …

Sarcopenic obesity is the coexistance of sarcopenia and obesity. Modern sarcopenia
definition includes low muscle mass, weak muscle strength (handgrip strength) and poor …

Purpose This study aimed to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and examine whether
sarcopenia was associated with overall and breast-cancer-specific mortality in a cohort of …

Background. Sarcopenia defined by lean mass has been inconsistently associated with
disability in elders. Studies suggest that definitions should consider body size and additional …

Background. An excessive amount of adipose tissue may contribute to sarcopenia and may
be one mechanism underlying accelerated loss of muscle mass and strength with aging. We …

Aging is generally accompanied by weight loss made up of both fat mass and fat-free mass.
As more people, including elderly, are overweight or obese, weight loss is recommended to …

One of the many threats to independent life is the age-related loss of muscle mass and
muscle function commonly referred to as sarcopenia. Another important health risk in old …
