Novel Equations Incorporating the Sarcopenia Index Based on Serum Creatinine and Cystatin C to Predict Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass in Patients with Nondialysis CKD
Skeletal muscle mass measurements are important for customizing nutritional strategies for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The serum creatinine-to-cystatin C ratio (Cr/CysC) is a potential indicator of sarcopenia. We developed simple equations to predict the appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) of patients with CKD using readily available parameters and Cr/CysC. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

Association between protein intake and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of cohort studies
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common condition in pregnancy, the prevalence of which has increased. Identifying modifiable risk factors for GDM, such as dietary factors, could prevent or delay the onset of the condition. Our goal was to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis of cohort studies, to summarize the current evidence on the relationship between total, animal, and plant protein intake during pregnancy, as well as pre-pregnancy protein intake, and the risk of GDM.

Sarcopenia and poor nutritional status in older adults
The association between sarcopenia and malnutrition has been poorly studied in the older population. The purpose of this study is to address the association between sarcopenia, according to different validated definitions, and nutritional status in a large population of community-dwelling older adults.

The Effects of Protein Intake Higher Than the Recommended Value on Body Composition Changes After Bariatric Surgery: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
There is a lack of a meta-analysis to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of higher protein intake in addition to the recommended value on body composition post-bariatric surgery. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to determine the effects of protein intake higher than the recommended value on body composition changes after bariatric surgery.

A high consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with higher total mortality in an adult Mediterranean population.
The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) has been associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, although this association has not been sufficiently investigated in Mediterranean populations. We aimed to evaluate the association between UPF consumption and all-cause, CVD and cancer mortality in an adult population in Spain. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

Acute ketone supplementation in the absence of muscle glycogen utilization: Insights from McArdle disease
Ketone supplementation is gaining popularity. Yet, its effects on exercise performance when muscle glycogen cannot be used remain to be determined. McArdle disease can provide insight into this question, as these patients are unable to obtain energy from muscle glycogen, presenting a severely impaired physical capacity. We therefore aimed to assess the effects of acute ketone supplementation in the absence of muscle glycogen utilization (McArdle disease). (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

A four-week dietary intervention with mycoprotein-containing food products reduces serum cholesterol concentrations in community-dwelling, overweight adults: a randomised controlled trial
Substituting dietary meat and fish for mycoprotein, a fungal-derived food source rich in protein and fibre, decreases circulating cholesterol concentrations in laboratory-controlled studies. However, whether these findings can be translated to a home-based setting, and to decrease cholesterol concentrations in overweight and hypercholesterolemic individuals, remains to be established.

Prognostic value of overhydration and bioelectrical impedance vector on short- and long-term outcomes in hospitalized patients with cancer
Water, an essential component of body composition, appears to be a significant predictor of adverse outcomes in clinical populations, despite being frequently underexplored. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and vector analysis (BIVA) are easy and cost-effective bedside tools for estimating body composition, particularly water content. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the impact of hydration and fluid status using both BIA and BIVA on outcomes in hospitalized patients with cancer. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

Prognostic Implications of the Arginine Metabolism in Patients at Nutritional Risk: A Secondary Analysis of the Randomized EFFORT Trial
Arginine, a conditionally essential amino acid, is key component in metabolic pathways including immune regulation and protein synthesis. Depletion of arginine contributes to worse outcomes in severely ill and surgical patient populations. We assessed prognostic implications of arginine levels and its metabolites and ratios in polymorbid medical inpatients at nutritional risk regarding clinical outcomes and treatment response.
