We aimed to examine the number of teeth and masticatory function as oral health indices and clarify their roles in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia and diabetes mellitus in community-dwelling older adults. Subjects and methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 635 older adults in Ohnan, Shimane Prefecture, in rural Japan. The number of teeth and masticatory… Continue reading Number of #teeth and masticatory function are associated with #sarcopenia and #diabetes mellitus status among community-dwelling older adults: A Shimane CoHRE study

#Sarcopenia is independently associated with #parietal atrophy in older adults
Highlights•Sarcopenia was common in old adults living in a retirement community (46.1%). •Sarcopenia had moderate-severe global cortical, parietal and medial temporal atrophy. •Sarcopenia is significantly associated with parietal atrophy in older adults. •Age had a significant relationship with global cortical and medial temporal atrophy. AbstractIntroductionAs populations age, sarcopenia becomes a major health problem among adults… Continue reading #Sarcopenia is independently associated with #parietal atrophy in older adults
Prevalence and clinical implications of #sarcopenic obesity in patients with solid tumours of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts: a population-based study
Emerging evidence on body composition suggests that sarcopenic obesity (obesity with depleted muscle mass) might be predictive of morbidity and mortality in non-malignant disease and also of toxicity to chemotherapy.. ..Available lumbar CT images of the obese patients were analysed for total skeletal muscle cross-sectional area; these values were also used to estimate total body… Continue reading Prevalence and clinical implications of #sarcopenic obesity in patients with solid tumours of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts: a population-based study
Associations between Skeletal #Muscle and #Myocardium in Aging: A Syndrome of “Cardio‐Sarcopenia”?
..We hypothesize that among aging adults with sarcopenia, alterations in myocardial structure and/or function may exist, resulting in a syndrome of “cardio‐sarcopenia.” ..Participants with sarcopenia had smaller left ventricular (LV) sizes (lower LV internal diameter end diastole (4.1 ± .7 vs 4.5 ± .6 cm; P < .0001), lower LV internal diameter end systole (2.3 ± .5 vs 2.5 ± .4 cm; P = .010),… Continue reading Associations between Skeletal #Muscle and #Myocardium in Aging: A Syndrome of “Cardio‐Sarcopenia”?
