Assessment of a low skeletal muscle mass (SM) is important for diagnosis of ageing and
disease-associated sarcopenia and is hindered by heterogeneous methods and …

Background The reported prevalence of sarcopenia ranges widely depending on its
definition criterion. European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) …

Given their importance in predicting clinical outcomes, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and
muscle status can be considered new vital signs. However, they are not routinely evaluated …

Background At present, it is unknown whether the use of nutrient-rich dairy proteins
improves the markers of sarcopenia syndrome. Therefore, our proposal was to investigate …

Introduction Muscle mass and function are among the most relevant factors that contribute to
an optimal quality of life, and are strong predictors of mortality in the elderly. Loss of lean …

Background Body composition indices can be related to musculoskeletal injuries (MI),
particularly in physically active groups. However, little is known about the accuracy of these …

Aim Low skeletal muscle mass (LMM) is a criterion to define both sarcopenia and
malnutrition. Muscle mass varies with gender, height, weight or fat mass, and many indices …

The possible association between low skeletal muscle mass and cardiovascular disease
(CVD) risk factors necessitates estimation of muscle mass even in subjects with normal body …

Introducción: la sarcopenia es un síndrome caracterizado por baja masa muscular junto con
pérdida de fuerza y/o disminución del rendimiento físico. Debido al envejecimiento de …

We investigated the relationship between high carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and
low skeletal muscle mass (LMM) in asymptomatic adults in a population-based study. A total …
