Filter by:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Pennisetum purpureum health food supplementation on muscle mass and muscle strength.
The goal of this observational study is to compare glycemic control and irisin levels in subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2 with sarcopenic obesity vs non-sarcopenic obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is glycemic control worse in diabetic patients with sarcopenic obesity? Are irisin levels higher in patients with non-sarcopenic obesity? Participants will be asked to: - Fill in three questionaries on lifestyle - Perform two physical performance tests The investigators will collect the following data: - Anthropometric measurements - Body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis. - Results of routine blood analyses - Irisin levels by drawing a vial of blood from the antecubital vein
To study the prevalence of sarcopenia in a pre-retirement group with chronic lower back pain and factors associated between sarcopenia and chronic lower back pain in the pre-retirement group.
The goal of this cross-sectional study is to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with Heart Failure. The main question it aims to answer is: Whether there is a difference in the prevalence of sarcopenia across the spectrum of HFpEF (Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) and HFrEF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction). This is an observational study. The participant population involves patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Healthy volunteers will be recruited as controls in addition to adults with asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetes. Participants will undergo the following: 1. Skeletal muscle mass, quality and body composition assessments using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) 2. Skeletal muscle strength assessments (Dynamometer, FysioMeter, handgrip strength) 3. Skeletal muscle energetics assessment (31p-Spectroscopy pre/post-exercise recovery) Researchers will compare Heart failure groups with healthy controls and adults with asymptomatic type 2 Diabetes to see if there are significant differences in the strength, mass and quality of skeletal muscle.
Sarcopenia can be easily observed in patients with hemodialysis. However, there were few studies on the precise concept and diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia in patients with hemodialysis. The investigators have already recognized the sarcopenia-associated mortality and morbidity in patients with hemodialysis. However, intervention studies on hemodialysis patients with sarcopenia have not been conducted until now. In 2021, the investigators conducted a pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of the combined exercise and nutrition intervention for sarcopenia in patients with hemodialysis to confirm the effectiveness. This study is a follow-up study, conducted as a randomized controlled trial.
1. Screening of malnutrition in patients with IBD and its relation to severity of the disease. 2. Determination of severity of malnutrition in IBD patients. 3. Assessment of Sarcopenia in patients with IBD.
Nowadays, ageing is an important aspect to consider from a social, healthcare and economic perspective. For this reason, it is necessary to focus on all the elements which can help staying healthy and active in old age. Physical activity and exercise are one of these, and more specifically resistance training.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the effects of bundle combination of Amway All-plant protein booster with Nutrilite Lifestyle guideline and/or EMS (Electric Muscle Stimulation) device on Osteoarthritis & Sarcopenia in the middle-aged and elderly (50-70 years old) people. 240 eligible participants will be randomly assigned to 4 equal size study groups (ideally 52 for each group will complete the study) in the two study centers in Shanghai, three site visits will be made during the 6 months of study after screening test. All clinical data will be measured /captured on paper CRF(Case Report Form) and then recorded into CTMS(Clinical Trial Data Management System) for analysis and reporting. It's essential that participants should practice with the assigned guideline and device besides taking the products per day. Researchers will compare the four groups to see if there is significant improvement of Amway study products with bundle combination of Nutrilite Lifestyle guideline and/or EMS on Osteoarthritis & Sarcopenia in the participants.
This is a randomized, parallel, double-blind clinical trial. The main objective is to compare the efficacy of resistance training based on power training, multimodal exercise with non-specific exercises and a control group on functionality and body composition in women over 65 years of age with pre-sarcopenia. The intervention in both groups will be carried out for 30 weeks, with three weekly sessions. Two evaluations will be performed, one pre-intervention and one post-intervention. Functionality (Timed Up & Go test (TUG), chair stand test and hand grip test and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)), body composition (Body fat %, skeletal muscle index (SMI), appendicular skeletal muscle (ASM), waist circumference, waist hip ratio, body weight, body mass index (BMI)) will be evaluated.
The aim of the study is to compare the effects of Krill Oil and Fish Oil supplementation on muscle function in older adults. The secondary aim is to investigate the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects previously observed.
