Filter by: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 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.
The goal of this Clinical Trial is to analyze effect of Ophiochepalus striatus extract on serum IGF-1 and IL-6 levels in elderly patients with sarcopenia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can giving Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase IGF-1 levels in elderly people with sarcopenia? 2. Can administration of 2x5 grams dose of Ophiocephalus striatus extract for 2 weeks reduce IL-6 levels in elderly with sarcopenia? 3. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks reduce the SARC-F score in elderly people with sarcopenia? 4. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase muscle mass in elderly people with sarcopenia? 5. Can the administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks increase muscle strength in elderly people with sarcopenia? 6. Can administration of Ophiocephalus striatus extract at a dose of 2x5 grams for 2 weeks improve physical performance in elderly with sarcopenia? Participants will: 1. Consume Ophiochepalus striatus extract 2x5 grams a day. 2. Checked blood before and after the intervention. 3. Measured muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance before and after the intervention.
Currently there is a lack of evidence for recommending specific oral supplements (OS) for nutritional support in patients with cancer, including leucine-enriched supplements.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of muscle quality on fear of fall, and lower extremity functionality in older women. The differences between muscle quality, fear of falling and lower extremity functionality in the elderly male and female participating in the study were investigated. Older women had worse muscle quality, higher fall concern and less lower extremity functionality than older men.
The purpose of this study was to confirm the presence of specific gut microbiota observed in patients with sarcopenia among patients who agreed to analyze gut microbiota through stool among multi-center chronic liver disease cohort patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of sarcopenia by CT and to analyze its association with morbidity and mortality after esophagectomy and / or total gastrectomy. It is also intended to analyze the association between the degree of the CT-guided sarcopenia and the nutritional status of the patients evaluated by clinical parameters, both preoperative and postoperative. Besides that, to verify the association between the degree of sarcopenia and body fat rate.
Skeletal muscle accounts for approximately 45-55% of total body mass in healthy adults and plays a pivotal role in whole-body metabolic health, locomotion and physical independence. Undesirable loss of skeletal muscle mass (atrophy) is, however, a common feature of many diseases and scenarios including ageing, bed rest/immobilisation, cancer and physical inactivity. Despite the exact mechanisms causing muscle atrophy being not yet fully understood, "anabolic resistance" (reduced muscle building in response to protein feeding and exercise) is thought to be key, especially for age-related skeletal muscle losses (known as sarcopenia). As such, the search for optimal strategies (e.g., exercise and/ or nutritional interventions) to combat this anabolic blunting remains a hot-topic in scientific research. Leucine, an essential and branched chain amino acid (EAA/BCAA), is thought to be the most potent AA for stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS; the muscle building process). Although, as a stand-alone supplement, leucine is unlikely to provoke a robust and prolonged state of MPS, low doses of leucine-enriched mixed-EAAs can elicit similar increases in MPS as compared to a large dose of whey protein. As reduced appetite and increased satiety (feeling fuller) are common with advancing age, supplementation of a low-dose protein (i.e., leucine-enriched) that can adequately stimulate MPS may contribute to muscle health maintenance in older adults and reduce satiation following a meal. This study aims to examine whether a novel whey protein with greater leucine content ("super-whey") has superior muscle building properties compared to a regular whey protein, at rest and after a single bout of exercise, in both young and older adults
Sarcopenia is a geriatric condition characterized by a progressive decrease in skeletal muscle content and loss of muscle function. Resistance exercise, Taichi exercise and the hybrid exercise program consisting of the two aforementioned methods have been demonstrated could increase the skeletal muscle mass of the elderly with sarcopenia. However, note that the above contents may be performed in a different order in a treatment, equally important but less well understood is the sequence in which it should be performed. Surprisingly, the exercise sequence has not been comprehensively investigated. Therefore, investigators designed a self-ordered exercise program combining resistance exercise, tai chi and a hybrid exercise program to investigate whether the decline in skeletal muscle area could be better overcome and the reversal of sarcopenia in elderly with sarcopenia.
This was a cross-sectional study. Patients who attended the osteoporosis clinic of Kowloon Hospital from June to December 2022 were recruited. Grip strength and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index were measured with a Jamar dynamometer and a bioimpedance analyser. Since most patients in our clinic are of Chinese ethnicity, the diagnostic criteria in the Consensus Update on Sarcopenia Diagnosis and Treatment by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia in 2019 was utilised. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was established by the presence of both low grip strength (Male: < 28 kg, Female < 18 kg) and low appendicular skeletal mass (Male: < 7.0 kg/m2, Female: < 5.7 kg/m2)
