Frailty is an age-related clinical state associated with deterioration across multiple physiological systems and a leading cause of morbidity mortality later in life. To understand how frailty develops what causes its progression, longitudinal data repeated measurements are required. This review summarizes evidence from studies on trajectories, transitions, trends. We identified several consistent findings: increases aging dynamic condition, more recent generations older adults have higher levels. These findings both public health relevance, including the provision healthcare aged care services coming years. Further required, particularly those conducted low- middle-income countries investigating factors changes frailty. The latter may help develop better-targeted interventions to reverse or slow progression

Abstract Body composition assessment (ie, the measurement of muscle and adiposity) impacts several cancer-related outcomes including treatment-related toxicities, treatment responses, complications, prognosis. Traditional modalities for body include mass index, circumference, skinfold thickness, bioelectrical impedance analysis; advanced imaging dual energy x-ray absorptiometry, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography. Each modality has its advantages disadvantages, thus requiring an individualized approach in identifying most appropriate measure specific clinical or research situations. Advancements approaches have led to abundance available data, however, lack standardized thresholds classification abnormal adiposity been a barrier adopting these measurements widely care. In this review, we discuss different detail provide guidance on their unique opportunities challenges.

Background and Purpose: Despite being associated with serious adverse outcomes, such as mortality, sarcopenia remains largely undiagnosed in older individuals. This study aimed to assess the awareness, practices, barriers enablers clinical implementation of diagnosis treatment among geriatric rehabilitation health care professionals Netherlands. Methods: As part EMPOWER-GR, a cross-sectional survey working Netherlands was undertaken between September 23, 2020, January 28, 2021. Professionals were recruited via provider, professional associations, networks research team, social media. Descriptive statistics used outcomes. Results Discussion: Of 501 professionals, 12.2% physicians, 23.0% physical therapist/occupational therapists, 30.3% dietitians, 19.6% nurses, 11.0% assistants. The concept known by 83.8% participants, 92.5% correctly identified low muscle mass strength (and performance), 73.8% very important management adults admitted for rehabilitation.

Background and Aims Physical performance is a major contributor of mobility independence during older life. Despite progressive decline in musculoskeletal function starts from middle age, several factors acting the life-course can negatively influence functional capacities. Lifestyle interventions incorporating nutrition physical exercise help maximizing muscle capacities early life as well preserving them later Among various dietary compounds, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are gaining growing attention for their potential effects on membrane composition function. Indeed, pathways enhanced, such an attenuation pro-inflammatory oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, activation mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) signaling reduction insulin resistance.

Dysgeusia is a distortion of the sense taste whose prevalence and relationship with nutritional status in Metabolic dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)-related advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) have never been systematically explored. 200 MASLD patients [60 ≤ F3 fibrosis, 70 compensated ACLD (cACLD), decompensated (dACLD)] were enrolled. At baseline, Child–Pugh (CP) score was determined. Dietary habits, body composition, frailty evaluated. The European Working Group (EWGSOP2) criteria defined sarcopenia. assessed by Dysgeusia-Total-Score (DTS). A visual analog scale identified appetite impairment (VASAI).

The Simpler Modified Fried Frailty Scale (SMFFS) has recently been developed from the original scale to ease its use in clinical practice, by transforming items requiring measurements into self-reported inquiries. Its predictive validity needs be clarified, especially populations with a high prevalence of frailty, such as patients heart failure (HF). Primary aim this study is find out frailty older HF using SMFFS and show concordance other assessment tools. Secondary reveal whether useful predict mortality follow-up.
