OBJECTIVES: Sufficient protein intake is important for older adults to prevent sarcopenia. Better insight into dietary characteristics may be helpful to improve daily protein intake. Therefore, this study aimed to compare characteristics of community-dwelling older adults with distinct amounts of daily …

Background: Malnutrition and sarcopenia impact the physical health and quality of life of community-dwelling older adults. Managing these conditions requires integrating nutritional and exercise interventions delivered by professionals from diverse backgrounds. Interprofessional collaboration holds promise …

Background: As our global population ages, malnutrition and sarcopenia are increasingly prevalent. Given the multifactorial nature of these conditions, effective management of (risk of) malnutrition and sarcopenia necessitates interprofessional collaboration (IPC). This study aimed to understand primary …

Rationale: Sarcopenia and obesity are prevalent conditions and are both associated with negative health outcomes. ESPEN and EASO reached consensus on the definition and diagnostic criteria for sarcopenic obesity (SO) encompassing indicators fat mass, muscle mass, and muscle function. However, few studies …

Rationale: Sarcopenia and obesity are prevalent conditions and often co-occur within the same individual. ESPEN and EASO reached consensus on the definition of sarcopenic obesity (SO), encompassing altered muscle function (MF) and altered body composition (BC). However, both handgrip strength (HGS) and …

Background & aims: Accurate diagnosis of sarcopenia requires evaluation of muscle quality, which refers to the amount of fat infiltration in muscle tissue. In this study, we aim to investigate whether we can independently predict mortality risk in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) patients, …

Objectives Body weight and muscle mass loss following an acute hospitalization in older patients may be influenced by malnutrition and sarcopenia among other factors. This study aimed to assess the changes in body weight and composition from admission to discharge and the geriatric variables associated …
