Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity
The aging process is associated with progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, as well as decline in physical functioning. Although consensus diagnosis has not been reached, sarcopenia is increasingly defined by both loss of muscle mass and loss of muscle function or strength. The cause of sarcopenia is suggested as multifactorial, including hormonal changes, inflammatory pathway activation...
متن کاملSarcopenic obesity: the confluence of two epidemics.
The two greatest epidemiological trends of our times are the aging of the population and the obesity epidemic (1). Each of these trends has important effects on body composition, morbidity, and mortality. Aging causes a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, independent of any disease process, called sarcopenia, from the Greek for “poverty of flesh” (2). Sarcopenia is an important cause ...
متن کاملSarcopenic Obesity and Endocrinal Adaptation with Age
In normal aging, changes in the body composition occur that result in a shift toward decreased muscle mass and increased fat mass. The loss of muscle mass that occurs with aging is termed sarcopenia and is an important cause of frailty, disability, and loss of independence in older adults. Age-related changes in the body composition as well as the increased prevalence of obesity determine a com...
متن کاملCharacterization of Ageing- and Diet-Related Swine Models of Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity
Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity are currently considered major global threats for health and well-being. However, there is a lack of adequate preclinical models for their study. The present trial evaluated the suitability of aged swine by determining changes in adiposity, fatty acids composition, antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation, development of metabolic disturbances and structural c...
متن کاملIdentification of sarcopenic obesity in postmenopausal women: a cutoff proposal.
Sarcopenic obesity is the combination of reduced fat-free mass (FFM) and increased fat mass (FM) with advancing age but there is lack of clear criteria for its identification. The purposes of the present investigation were: 1) to determine the prevalence of postmenopausal women with reduced FFM relative to their FM and height, and 2) to examine whether there are associations between the propose...
