Dynapenic Abdominal Obesity as a Risk Factor for Metabolic Syndrome in Individual 50 Years of Age or Older: English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
ConclusionsDynapenic abdominal obesity increases the risk of MetS, with a higher IRR compared to obesity alone. The understanding of this synergic action could guide specific clinical strategies, enabling the prevention of metabolic changes that can lead to cardiovascular disease, disability and death.

Dose-Response Relationships between Diet Quality and Mortality among Frail and Non-Frail Older Adults: A Population-Based Kyoto-Kameoka Prospective Cohort Study
ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate an L-shaped association between diet quality and mortality in both frail and non-frail individuals. This study may provide important knowledge for improving poor diet quality in older individuals with frailty or domains of frailty. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Associations of 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Status and Supplementation with Adverse Outcomes in Geriatric Rehabilitation Inpatients: RESORT
ConclusionsAmong geriatric rehabilitation inpatients, 25(OH) D deficiency was associated with institutionalization, in-hospital mortality and one-year mortality. Attention to monitor the vitamin D status is of upmost importance during hospitalization. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Calculating Route: Functional Trajectories and Long-Term Outcomes in Survivors of Severe COVID-19
ConclusionSevere COVID-19 survivors can experience diverse functional trajectories, with those presenting higher levels of disability at increased risk for long-term adverse outcomes. Further investigations are essential to confirm our findings and assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions, aiming to improve health outcomes in those who survived severe COVID-19 and other causes of sepsis.

Associations between Macronutrients Intake and Bone Mineral Density: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Health Workers Cohort Study Participants
ConclusionOur findings suggest that carbohydrate intake was associated with loss of BMD, while animal protein and fat intake was associated with gain of BMD among the Mexican population. Macronutrient substitutions resulted in significant associations; however, additional studies are needed to confirm these findings. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Global Prevalence and Factors Associated with Frailty among Community-Dwelling Older Adults with Hypertension: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionFrailty and prefrailty are prevalent in community-dwelling older adults with hypertension, and limited risk factors are identified. This implicates the importance of frailty assessment integrated into the routine primary care for older adults with hypertension in community settings as well as the understanding of potential factors.

Plasma Inflammatory Biomarkers and Anorexia of Ageing among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: An Exploratory Analysis of the MAPT Study
AbstractAnorexia of aging and biological aging might share physiological underpinnings. The aim of this secondary analysis was to investigate the associations between circulating inflammation-related markers and anorexia of aging in community-dwelling older adults. C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNFR-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and growth/differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) were measured in plasma. Anorexia of aging was defined by the response “severe/moderate decrease in food intake” to the first item of the Mini-Nutritional Assessment. We included 4...

Effect of Multicomponent Intervention on Functional Decline in Chinese Older Adults: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial
ConclusionsThe multicomponent exercise intervention following vivifrail recommendations is an effective method for older adults with functional decline and can reverse the functional decline and improve gait, balance, and muscle strength. Additionally, the 12-week multicomponent exercise method provides guidance for Chinese medical professionals working in the field of geriatrics and is a promising method to improve physical function in the general population.

Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations of Creatinine-to-Cystatin C Ratio with Sarcopenia Parameters in Older Adults
ConclusionsCCR is a useful biomarker regarding the status of sarcopenia. It may be used for sarcopenia screening even in older adults whose physical function is difficult to assess. However, further longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether CCR can be a predictor of future sarcopenia. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)
