Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength/function, is an important clinical condition. However, no international consensus on definition exists. The Global Leadership Initiative in Sarcopenia (GLIS) aimed to address this by establishing global conceptual sarcopenia. GLIS steering committee was formed 2019-21 with representatives from all relevant scientific societies worldwide. During time, developed a set statements topic invited members these participate two-phase...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to simultaneously validate 10 physical activity (PA) questionnaires in a homogenous population healthy elderly men against the reference method: doubly labeled water (DLW). DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Community-based sample from Lyon, France. PARTICIPANTS: Nineteen old (age 73.4 ± 4.1 years), recruited various associations for people agreed participate MEASUREMENTS: questionnaire-derived measures (scores) were compared with two validation...
the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS-GMS) recommendations for training in Geriatric Medicine were published 1993. The practice has developed considerably since then and it therefore become necessary to update these recommendations. under auspices UEMS-GMS, Society (EuGMS) Academy Ageing (EAMA), a group experts, representing all member states respective bodies new framework education specialists using modified Delphi technique. Thirty-two expert panel members from 30 different...
<i>Background:</i> Malnutrition is a widespread but largely unrecognized problem in aged patients, more so as it contributing factor to the increased morbidity and mortality this age group. Since direct measurements of body composition are not possible large number good anthropometric reference data fundamental assessing nutritional state elderly people. <i>Objective:</i> To examine efficacy calf circumference (CC) measurement for elderly. <i>Methods:</i>...
Background : 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical decomposition in alcohol solution is widely used, characterizing plant antioxidants that can rise serum after fruit and vegetable intake. However, this test failed reproducible results with due to protein precipitation. We describe the application of deproteinization acetonitrile relating DPPH test. Methods Assay sensitivity, linearity, repeatability storage effect were determined samples deproteinized an equal volume acetonitrile....
The aging of our societies leads to a higher prevalence multimorbidity and therefore polypharmacy, which often results in inappropriate drug treatment. To address this issue, numerous listing approaches, such as the Fit fOR Aged (FORTA) list have been developed. FORTA's positive impact on quality medications relevant clinical outcomes has shown. Based new emerging evidence experiences with existing FORTA lists, we aimed update lists several European countries/regions.Two-step Delphi...
Myostatin, its inhibitor follistatin, and growth/differentiation factor 11 (GDF11) have been proposed as factors that could potentially modify biological aging. The study aimed to test whether there is a relationship between these plasma circulating proteins muscle strength, power optimal shortening velocity (υopt) of older adults. cross-sectional included 56 women 45 men aged 60 years older. Every participant underwent examination which anthropometric bioimpedance analysis measurements,...
Abstract Background Sarcopenia may be more present in older adults with diabetes (DM). Accordingly, we evaluated the prevalence of sarcopenia and its associated risk factors among community-dwelling DM. Methods A cross-sectional analysis people living community was carried out. Participants (aged 75 years more) came from an European multicenter prospective cohort (SCOPE study). Global geriatric assessment including short physical performance battery, handgrip strength test bioelectrical...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic (DHA), α-linolenic (ALA), or linoleic (LA), have a particular role in counteracting cardiovascular diseases. They may regulate antioxidant potential and inflammatory reactions. Little is known whether other saturated acids (e.g., short-chain (SCFA) butyric caproic acid) monounsaturated be involved the level of Vitamin C intake affect these processes. The purpose this study was to assess impact on plasma...
In order to define the amount of physical activity appropriate in primary prevention coronary heart disease (CHD), we have compared effects during 5 years four groups middle-aged men with different but stable approximate metabolic costs leisure time sports activities (AMCSA): sedentary (n = 40; 0 kcal per week), low 31; 1 - 999 moderate 56; 1000 1999 and high 71; ≥ 2000 week). Time related increase body mass BMI was more pronounced lower groups. Changes HDL cholesterol were favourable group...
Whether the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) is related to a decrease in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) has not yet been completely clarified. We assessed TAC blood serum group 163 men with CHD aged 34.8–77.0 years and age-matched peers without CHD. Two spectrophotometric methods were applied assess TAC: ferric reducing ability (TAC-FRAS) 2.2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (TAC-DPPH) tests. In group, multivariate analysis revealed that uric acid (UA), triglycerides, systolic pressure...
Abstract Background Loss of muscle mass and function may be more pronounced in older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) albuminuria. Thus, we investigated the prevalence sarcopenia among community-dwelling according to grade We also explored differences three different equations for estimation glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Methods A cross-sectional analysis 1420 (≥75 years old) included SCOPE study, a multicenter prospective cohort was conducted. Comprehensive geriatric assessment...
The aim of the present study was to compare two widely recommended short nutrition assessment tools-Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and Subjective Global Assessment Form (SGA)-with other Comprehensive Geriatric (CGA) measurements. included 622 consecutively hospitalized older subjects, aged 81.7 ± 7.8 years. criteria participate were ability communicate given consent. Both NRS-2002 SGA inversely related anthropometric measurements, functional tests, Mini-Mental State Examination...
The study analyzes the relationship between nutritional status and depression symptoms severity in older population. A total of 1975 outpatients (1457 women 518 men, median age 75) were included study. Depression was assessed using Geriatric Scale (GDS). Participants divided into two subgroups according to GDS score. Group A: 0–5 points—without (1237, W:898, M:339), group B: 6–15 points—with (738, W:559, M:179). patients with Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) basic anthropometric variables...

Purpose To analyze, both by a retrospective prospective study design, the relationship maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2 max) physical activity (PA) to (URTI) subjects. Methods 61 (33 men 28 women) healthy weight-stable active volunteers aged 66–84 yr participated study. PA was evaluated...
