Skeletal muscle fat infiltration (known as myosteatosis) is an ectopic fat depot that increases
with aging and is recognized to negatively correlate with muscle mass, strength, and mobility …

Muscle's structural composition is an important factor underlying muscle strength and
physical function in older adults. There is an increasing amount of research to support the …

A growing body of scientific literature suggests that not only changes in skeletal muscle
mass, but also other factors underpinning muscle quality, play a role in the decline in …

Obesity can cause a decline in contractile function of skeletal muscle, thereby reducing
mobility and promoting obesity-associated health risks. We reviewed the literature to …

Key points Muscle infiltration with adipose tissue (IMAT) is common and associated with loss
of skeletal muscle strength and physical function across a diverse set of pathologies …

Purpose This longitudinal study examined the major physiological mechanisms that
determine the age-related loss of lower extremity muscle power in two distinct groups of …

Recent evidence demonstrating an increased fracture risk among obese individuals
suggests that adipose tissue may negatively impact bone health, challenging the traditional …

Objectives Supplementation of high protein oral nutrition shakes supplemented with β-
hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HP-HMB) has been shown to improve muscle mass, muscle …

Background Changes in muscle fat composition as for example observed in sarcopenia or
muscular dystrophy affect physical performance and muscular function, like strength and …

Background Obesity exacerbates age-related effects on body composition and physical and
metabolic function. Which exercise mode is most effective in mitigating these deleterious …
