Summary Rationale This initiative is focused on building a global consensus around core diagnostic criteria for malnutrition in adults clinical settings. Methods In January 2016, the Global Leadership Initiative Malnutrition (GLIM) was convened by several of major nutrition societies. GLIM appointed leadership committee and supporting working group with representatives bringing additional diversity expertise. Empirical reached through series face‐to‐face meetings, telephone conferences,...
Abstract Objective : To determine the association of sarcopenic obesity with onset Instrumental Activities Daily Living (IADL) disability in a cohort 451 elderly men and women followed for up to 8 years. Research Methods Procedures Sarcopenic was defined at study baseline as appendicular skeletal muscle mass divided by stature squared <7.26 kg/m 2 5.45 percentage body fat greater than 60th percentile sample (28% 40% women). Incident loss two or more points from score on IADL. Subjects...
Abstract A decline in testicular function is recognized as a common occurrence older men. However data are sparse regarding the effects of hypogonadism on age-associated physical and cognitive declines. This study was undertaken to examine year-long testosterone administration this patient population. Fifteen hypogonadal men (mean age 68 ± 6 yr) were randomly assigned receive placebo, 17 65± 7 testosterone. Hypogonadism defined bioavailable &lt;60 ng/dL. The received injections placebo...
Demographic data clearly demonstrate that the percentage of population in older age group is increasing. Androgen deficiency aging male has become a topic increasing interest and debate throughout world. Cross-sectional longitudinal indicate testosterone falls progressively with significant men over 60 years have serum levels are below lower limits young adult (age 20–30 years) (1–4). The principal questions raised by these observations whether hypogonadal will benefit from treatment what be...
Human muscle undergoes constant changes. After about age 50, mass decreases at an annual rate of 1–2%. Muscle strength declines by 1.5% between ages 50 and 60 3% thereafter. The reasons for these changes include denervation motor units a net conversion fast type II fibers into slow I with resulting loss in power necessary activities daily living. In addition, lipids are deposited the muscle, but do not usually lead to body weight. Once elderly subjects falls below 2 standard deviations mean...
