Resistance exercise as a treatment for sarcopenia: prescription and delivery

Christopher Hurst et al.

Summary: Sarcopenia is a muscle disorder characterized by reduced strength and mass, with resistance exercise recommended as the primary treatment. However, evidence on its benefits for sarcopenic older adults is limited, and optimal prescription and delivery remain unclear. The proposed resistance exercise program for sarcopenia includes two sessions per week focusing on upper- and lower-body exercises with high effort, serving as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers.

Changes in predicted lean body mass, appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and body fat mass and cardiovascular disease

Seong Rae Kim et al.

Summary: This study found that increased predicted muscle mass or decreased predicted fat mass were associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in young adults. Conversely, decreased predicted muscle mass or increased predicted fat mass were associated with an elevated risk of CVD.

Responsiveness and Minimal Clinically Important Difference of the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test in Patients with Stroke

Rodrigo Martin-San Agustin et al.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze the responsiveness of the 5STS test among stroke patients and to estimate the MCIDs for different severity levels of community ambulation and stages of recovery. The 5STS was found to be responsive to functional changes in patients with stroke, with the MCID values influenced by the severity and stage of recovery.

Association of sarcopenia with mortality and end-stage renal disease in those with chronic kidney disease: a UK Biobank study

Thomas J. Wilkinson et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of sarcopenia in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its association with all-cause mortality and progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The results showed that the presence of sarcopenia in CKD patients was associated with older age, inflammation, poorer renal function, and lower levels of serum albumin, total testosterone, and hemoglobin. The study also found that individuals with CKD and sarcopenia had a higher risk of mortality and progression to ESRD compared to those without sarcopenia, highlighting the importance of early identification and interventions for sarcopenia in at-risk individuals.
