Association between BIA-derived Phase Angle and Sarcopenia and Improvement in Activities of Daily Living and Dysphagia in Patients undergoing Post-Stroke Rehabilitation
ConclusionBIA-derived phase angle was positively associated with the recovery of physical function and dysphagia level and negatively associated with baseline sarcopenia in patients undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation. The BIA-derived phase angle cutoff for sarcopenia diagnosis was 4.76 ° for men and 4.11° for women. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Evaluation of the Accuracy of Six Simple Screening Tools for Sarcopenia in Schizophrenic Patients
ConclusionThe prevalence of sarcopenia in schizophrenic patients is high. Clinical doctors should screen for sarcopenia in schizophrenic patients and provide timely interventions to reduce the occurrence of adverse events. The above six tools can be used as screening tools, and the Ishii test is the most suitable for screening. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Circulating Levels of Apelin, GDF-15 and Sarcopenia: Lack of Association in the MAPT Study
ConclusionsBlood apelin and GDF-15 were not associated with sarcopenia incidence or with the evolution of sarcopenia components over a 2-year follow-up in community-dwelling older adults. Well-powered longitudinal studies are needed to confirm or refute our findings. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Vegetable and Fruit Intake, Its Patterns, and Cognitive Function: Cross-Sectional Findings among Older Adults in Anhui, China
ConclusionLower vegetable or fruit intake was associated with poorer cognitive performance among males and females, and the risk was even higher among those with a low intake of both vegetables and fruits. Healthy eating habits, including daily vegetable and fruit intake, are essential for cognition maintenance in both males and females. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Associations between Hair Mineral Concentrations and Skeletal Muscle Mass in Korean Adults
ConclusionThese results suggest that hair mineral status may play a role in the development of LMM. Therefore, further studies with larger numbers of subjects are required to identify the effects of mineral imbalances, their relationships with sarcopenia, and the differences between subjects with LMM and subjects with normal muscle mass.
