Abstract The European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) developed a practical clinical definition and consensus diagnostic criteria for age-related sarcopenia. EWGSOP included representatives from four participant organisations, i.e. the Geriatric Medicine Society, Society Clinical Nutrition Metabolism, International Association of Gerontology Geriatrics—European Region Aging. These organisations endorsed findings final document. group met addressed following questions,...
in 2010, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia Older People (EWGSOP) published a sarcopenia definition that aimed to foster advances identifying and caring for people with sarcopenia. In early 2018, met again (EWGSOP2) update original order reflect scientific clinical evidence has built over last decade. This paper presents our updated findings. increase consistency of research design, diagnoses ultimately, care is muscle disease (muscle failure) rooted adverse changes accrue across...
Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Asymptomatic vs Symptomatic Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Wuhan, China
The human ageing process is universal, ubiquitous and inevitable. Every physiological function being continuously diminished. There a range between two distinct phenotypes of ageing, shaped by patterns living - experiences behaviours, in particular the presence or absence physical activity (PA) structured exercise (i.e., sedentary lifestyle). Ageing lifestyle are associated with declines muscle cardiorespiratory fitness, resulting an impaired capacity to perform daily activities maintain...
The task force of the International Conference Frailty and Sarcopenia Research (ICFSR) developed these clinical practice guidelines to overview current evidence-base provide recommendations for identification management frailty in older adults.
Abstract Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement muscle mass, but techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, literature does not establish consensus on best technique for measuring lean body mass. Thus, objective is hampered by limitations intrinsic to assessment tools. The aim this study was review methods assess mass reach development a reference standard. Methods Literature reviews were performed members European Society Clinical Economic Aspects...
OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of adverse drug reaction (ADR)‐related hospital admissions in an older population, to describe most common clinical manifestations and drugs frequently responsible for ADR‐related admissions, identify independent factors predictive these ADRs. DESIGN: Multicenter pharmacoepidemiology survey conducted between 1988 1997. SETTING: Eighty‐one academic hospitals throughout Italy. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty‐eight thousand four hundred eleven patients consecutively...
OBJECTIVES To develop an evidence‐based definition of sarcopenia that can facilitate identification older adults at risk for clinically relevant outcomes (eg, self‐reported mobility limitation, falls, fractures, and mortality), the Sarcopenia Definition Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) crafted a set position statements informed by literature review SDOC's analyses eight epidemiologic studies, six randomized clinical trials, four cohort studies special populations, two nationally representative...

Background. Optimal care for frail elderly patients depends on comprehensive assessment. This is especially true in the complex setting of interdisciplinary home programs. To facilitate assessment, as well to generate a useful, policy-relevant patient database, standardized, multidimensional, and validated instruments are very helpful. Objectives. The aim present study was demonstrate that Minimum Data Set assessment instrument Home Care (MDS-HC) can be used detect functional cognitive...
