Background: A nationwide, prospective, multicenter, cohort study (the Disease-Related caloric-protein malnutrition EChOgraphy (DRECO) study) was designed to assess the usefulness of ultrasound rectus femoris for detecting sarcopenia in hospitalized patients at risk and define cut-off values measures. Methods: Patients according Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) underwent handgrip dynamometry, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), a Timed Up Go (TUG) test, studies. European...
Body composition changes that occur during aging, such as loss of lean mass, are unfavorable at metabolic level and they can explain, in part, the appearance certain age-associated diseases type 2 diabetes (T2D). Separately, T2D is associated with an increase oxidative stress (OS) which negatively affects skeletal muscle. Our aim was to study differences clinical nutritional parameters, disease control, OS a cohort older patients classified according amount mass had. We included 100 adults...
Background: Low muscle mass quantity/quality is needed to confirm sarcopenia diagnosis; however, no validated cut-off points exist. This study aimed determine the diagnostic accuracy of through parameters, using bioimpedance analysis (BIA), isokinetic, and ultrasound tools in probable sarcopenic community-dwelling older adults (≥60 years). Also, it suggest possible new diagnosis. Methods: A cross-sectional exploratory was performed with non-sarcopenic adults. BIA, parameters were evaluated....
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a treatment for severe obesity. However, many patients have insufficient total weight loss (TWL) after RYGB. Although multiple factors been involved, their influence incompletely known. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate the feasibility and reliability use machine learning (ML) techniques estimate success in RYGP, based on clinical, anthropometric biochemical data, order identify morbidly obese with poor responses. We retrospectively analyzed...
Aging has increased the prevalence of frailty, and type 2 diabetes (T2D) also in prevalence. Diabetes oxidative stress (OS) have been shown to be related frailty. However, exact mechanism by which it occurs is not fully known. Our aim was analyze body composition community-dwelling older diabetic people treated our center evaluate possible relation between OS, composition. We included 100 adults than 65 years with T2D. found that 15% were frail 57% prefrail. The patients nonrobust group...
Background Obesity is associated with high cardiovascular risk. Postprandial lipidaemia has been disease Our aim was to identify whether anthropometric parameters, insulin resistance (IR) and/or fasting plasma triglycerides may determine postprandial changes in lipoprotein concentrations abdominal and morbid obese subjects. Methods We have studied 20 non-diabetic, normolipidaemic subjects obesity, healthy individuals, that similar age gender. In all of them a standardised oral fat load test...
To assess the link between ultrasonographic measurements of biceps brachii and total muscle mass measured by bio-impedancemetry in hospitalized older patients.
Background. The increasing incidence and prevalence of obesity is a global health issue. In obesity, inadequate adipose tissue vascularization has been associated with vascular rarefaction, leukocyte chemotaxis inflammation, thus contributing to the transition metabolic dysfunction. However, underlying mechanisms that regulates angiogenesis in are still largely unknown. present study, we investigated role chemokine receptor CXCR3 its ligands CXCL10 CXCL11 on morbid obese patients.
