Low-intensity eccentric contractions attenuate muscle damage induced by subsequent maximal eccentric exercise of the knee exten
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | BFM | Trevor C. Chen et al. | 2013 | Taiwan | European Journal of Applied Physiology
This study investigated whether low-intensity eccentric contractions of the knee extensors would attenuate the magnitude of muscle damage induced by maximal eccentric exercise of the same muscle performed 7 days later using elderly individuals. Healthy older men (66.4±4.6 years) were assigned to control or experimental (Exp) group (n= 13 per group). The control group performed six sets of ten maximal eccentric contractions (MaxECC) of the knee extensors of non-dominant leg. The Exp group performed six sets of ten low-intensity …
Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in Spanish community-dwelling middle-aged and older women: association with balance confidenc
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMM, PBF, Resistance | A Aibar-Almazán et al. | 2017 | Spain | Maturitas
Objectives To analyze the association of sarcopenia, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity (SO) with fear of falling (FoF) and balance confidence in a Spanish sample of middle-aged and older community-dwelling women. Study design and outcome measures A total of 235 women (69.21±7.56 years) participated in this study. Body composition (bioelectrical impedance analysis), hand-grip strength, and physical performance (gait speed) were evaluated for the diagnosis of sarcopenia, obesity, and SO. Anxiety and depression were …
Lower jump power rather than muscle mass itself is associated with vertebral fracture in community-dwelling elderly Korean wome
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | SMM, BFM | Lee EY et al. | 2017 | Korea | Calcified Tissue International
Sarcopenia is considered to be a risk factor for osteoporotic fracture, which is a major health problem in elderly women. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of sarcopenia, with regard to muscle mass and function, with prevalent vertebral fracture in community-dwelling elderly women. We recruited 1281 women aged 64 to 87 years from the Korean Urban Rural Elderly cohort study. Muscle mass and function were measured using bioimpedance analysis and jumping mechanography. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) and jump …
Lower skeletal muscle mass at admission independently predicts falls and mortality 3 months post-discharge in hospitalized olde
Physical medicine and Rehabilitation | Segmental FFM, SMM, SMI | Reijnierse EM et al. | 2018 | Australia | Journals of Gerontology
Background Approximately 10% of older adults are annually admitted to a hospital. Hospitalization is associated with a higher risk of falls and mortality after discharge. This study aimed to identify predictors at admission for falls and mortality 3 months post-discharge in hospitalized older patients. Methods The Evaluation of Muscle parameters in a Prospective cohort of Older patients at clinical Wards Exploring Relations with bed rest and malnutrition (EMPOWER) study is an observational, prospective longitudinal inception …
