Filter by:The study aims to explore whether a high level of AGEs (Advanced Glycation end products) derived from the diet may mediate diet-related muscle loss in Western-type diet, influencing the onset and progression of sarcopenia, predisposing to earlier and more severe metabolic consequences, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). The primary objective of the study is to investigate how the accumulation of AGEs is correlated with muscle loss in adult patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes or lipodystrophy in order to identify possible targets to mitigate the metabolic alterations caused by the Western diet (WD). Specifically, circulating AGEs levels on the skin will be evaluated and correlated with the stage of sarcopenia in a group of patients with obesity and a T2D diagnosis. Furthermore, the relationship between disease duration and AGE levels will be assessed. A secondary objective will be to analyze the clinical data obtained to identify metabolites and metabolic pathways responsible for the phenotype induced by the WD. The ultimate aim of the study is therefore to verify whether high levels of AGEs are correlated with an early and/or more pronounced onset of sarcopenia, concurrently with an increase in inflammation and oxidative stress.
This is a randomized interventional clinical trial, whereby 100 participants will be randomized to either follow the SAFE exercise program (experimental group) or not (control group). At the end of the intervention, the experimental group will be encouraged to continue doing the exercises, and the control group will have the opportunity to participate in the SAFE exercises. 12 weeks post-intervention, the investigators will follow up with participants by telephone to follow up whether they are still following the SAFE program or not.
The proposed research is a parallel arm, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial designed to assess changes in muscle strength, volume, fatigue resistance, and mobility in older adults after daily consumption of 12g of linoleic acid-rich oil.
The loss of skeletal muscle mass and function usually occurs with aging, known as primary sarcopenia. Sarcopenia has a prevalence of 11.6% among the elderly population in China and is closely associated with increased risks of falls, disability, and mortality. Currently, there is a lack of definition criteria for sarcopenia based on biomarkers. The Gut-Muscle Axis hypothesis suggests a complex interplay between gut microbiota and skeletal muscle. Nutritional intervention targeting the gut microbiota potentially plays a significant role in muscle regeneration. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of symbiotic and whey protein on muscle, gut microbiota, and clinical outcomes among sarcopenia patients, to provide a reference for further diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia.
The goal of this observational cohort study is to learn about loss of muscle mass and muscle strength (sarcopenia) in patients with cirrhosis. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - what is the prevalence and development of sarcopenia in cirrhosis? - what is the role of malnutrition? Participants will - undergo a muscle ultrasound of the lower and upper limb muscles - handgrip strength will be measured - malnutrition screening and assessment - complete a questionnaire to assess quality of life
A randomized controlled clinical trial that will test how progressive resistance training will impact outcomes of sarcopenia in older patients with type 2 diabetes who have been diagnosed as sarcopenia. The intervention will be 12 weeks in duration with approximately 24 sessions of resistance exercises. Outcome measures will be collected at baseline, 4, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.
The investigators hypothesize that Ketosteril can improve sarcopenia in patients with renal disease without increasing the burden on the kidneys and causing deterioration of renal function. Therefore, this study intends to take patients with CKD stage 3-4 and sarcopenia as the research object, give Ketosteril intervention or not to patients on the base of low-protein diet, and clarify the clinical benefits of Ketosteril prescription for improving sarcopenia in patients with CKD.
Observational study. Participants of the FRASNET study (9th March 2017, Protocol No. 24/INT/2017) who were evaluated in 2016 and 2017 will be contacted to be re-evaluated with multidimensional visits as part of the present study in order to assess trajectories and biomarkers of frailty and sarcopenia. Moreover, are going to evaluate with the same multidimensional visits patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia followed up at the Neurologic Unit of the San Raffaele Hospital.
Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength with ageing, is a prevalent condition in older adults, particularly those with chronic lung diseases like COPD and interstitial lung disease. The condition exacerbates the decline in physical ability, leading to decreased mobility, impaired quality of life, and increased disability. Sarcopenia's prevalence varies across populations, estimated to affect up to 10% of adults over 60 worldwide, with higher rates reported in studies employing consensus definitions of sarcopenia. The prevalence is even higher in patients with chronic lung diseases, reaching up to 26.6%. Sarcopenia's impact on health-related quality of life has been widely investigated. The condition is associated with various comorbidities, including chronic heart failure, obesity, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, all negatively impacting the quality of life. The proposed study's primary aim is to assess the feasibility of the FACS (finding, assessing, confirming, severity) approach in determining sarcopenia's prevalence in the chronic lung disease population. FACS includes screening, strength measurements, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to confirm sarcopenia. The study will also explore potential mechanisms associated with sarcopenia in this population, using proteome and single-cell transcriptome profiles. These multi-omics approaches provide a comprehensive view of the cellular and molecular changes underlying sarcopenia.In particular, the study will evaluate patient acceptance, time efficiency of each test, and recruitment effectiveness. The outcomes will guide the design and execution of subsequent, larger studies and provide preliminary data for power calculation for the full-scale study.
This is a prospective, multi-center, investigator-initiated observational cohort study. Enrollment with a minimum of of 195 cases each for patients with and without sarcopenia. Each patient is followed up for 6 month, 1 year, 2 years or until the occurrence of death.This study will examine the correlation between sarcopenia and prognosis in different subgroups of patients, and explore the additive effect of different comorbidities and sarcopenia on prognosis in patients with acute decompensated heart failure.
