Sarcopenia encompasses the loss of muscle mass and strength/function during aging.
Several methods are available for the estimation of muscle or lean body mass. Popular …

Weight loss is the cornerstone of therapy for people with obesity because it can ameliorate
or completely resolve the metabolic risk factors for diabetes, coronary artery disease, and …

In an increasingly obese and ageing population, type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and osteoporotic
fracture are major public health concerns. Understanding how obesity and type 2 diabetes …

A wealth of observational studies show that low testosterone is associated with insulin
resistance and with an increased risk of diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. Experimental …

Sarcopenia is a term first coined by Rosenberg in 1989 1 to draw attention to the agerelated
loss of muscle mass, with aging as a geriatric syndrome with adverse consequences that …

Skeletal muscle, in addition to being comprised of a heterogeneous muscle fiber population,
also includes extracellular components that do not contribute to positive tensional force …

Aim The objectives of the present study were to examine the relationships between
intramuscular fat, muscle strength and gait independence, as well as to clarify the …

The relationships between body composition and bone mineral density are well established
but the contribution of body composition to the risk of fracture (Fx) has rarely been evaluated …

Background Lower muscle density on computed tomography (CT) provides a measure of
fatty infiltration of muscle, an aspect of muscle quality that has been associated with …

Recent compelling evidence suggest that clinicians should recognize the potential role of
muscle wasting in determining fracture risk among older adults and that measures of lean …
