History and Science behind the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (Eat-10): Lessons Learned
ConclusionsTranscultural adaptation and translation studies, as well as studies involving various types of patients with dysphagia in different settings have shown the validity and reliability of EAT-10 in relation to the gold standard and other validation tools. The use of this standardised screening tool could be used as a primary screening instrument of dysphagia in routine clinical practice across a wide range of diseases and settings and thereby increase the likelihood of early diagnosis and management of a condition that lead to serious complications and impaired quality of life.

Famine Exposure during Early Life and Risk of Cancer in Adulthood: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionThis meta-analysis suggests that exposure to famine during early life may increase the risk of cancer in adulthood. The above-mentioned association is pronounced in women exposed to famine, severe exposure, adolescence exposure, Chinese famine, cohort studies, breast and stomach cancers. It is essential for decision-makers to take targeted measures for improving population awareness regarding the long-term effect of early life nutritional status.

Association between Intrinsic Capacity and Sarcopenia in Hospitalized Older Patients
ConclusionThis study indicated that a more serious impairment of IC was associated with a greater risk of sarcopenia. Vitality was the domain most strongly associated with sarcopenia. IC may be employed to detect and manage sarcopenia. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Mapping of Dietary Interventions Beneficial in the Prevention of Secondary Health Conditions in Spinal Cord Injured Population: A Systematic Review
ConclusionsTo develop timely and effective preventive strategies targeting major SHC (e.g., cardiometabolic diseases, urinary tract infections) in SCI, further research is warranted to confirm the effectiveness of dietary strategies/interventions identified through the current systematic review of the literature.

Effect of Coenzyme Q10 Supplementation on Sarcopenia, Frailty, and Falls: A Scoping Review
AbstractCoenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is well-known for its antioxidant effects and has been highlighted in research related to aging and many age-related conditions. However, there is limited research on the benefit of CoQ10 supplementation in conditions impacting the physical robustness of older adults, such as sarcopenia, frailty, falls and osteoporosis. This scoping review identified and summarized 4 studies that assessed the effects of exogenous CoQ10 on outcomes relating to sarcopenia, frailty, and falls. Results of the studies showed statistically significant improvements in a variety of physical robustness related outcomes,...

Efficacy of Silkworm Pupae Extract on Muscle Strength and Mass in Middle-Aged and Older Individuals: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial
ConclusionSWP, in addition to low-intensity exercise, may enhance handgrip strengths in middle-aged and older adults with relatively lower SMM. Future studies need to use a large sample size over longer periods to validate our findings. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov as NCT04994054.

Association between Malnutrition and Delirium in Older Chronic Kidney Disease Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units: A Data Linkage Study
ConclusionsThis study showed a significant association between delirium and malnutrition in older CKD patients admitted to ICU. Management of malnutrition could be critical in reducing the risk of delirium in older hospitalized patients with CKD. Additionally, more education and awareness around delirium and its association with malnutrition are needed in clinical practice. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity and Cognitive Function in Older Adults in the United States: The NHANES 2011 –2014
ConclusionOur findings support that higher dietary antioxidant potential was related to a decreased risk of cognitive dysfunction, particularly in the subjects with DM who may have oxidative injury. DM was one of the factors mediating the effect of TAC on ICF. (Source: The Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging)

Frailty Is a Risk Factor for Falls in the Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
ConclusionFrailty represents a significant risk factor for falls in older adults, with the degree of risk varying according to the different frailty assessment tools employed, and notably highest when using the FRAIL scale. Additionally, factors such as gender, areas, level of national economic development, and healthcare managers ’ understanding of frailty may all impact the correlation between frailty and falls. Thus, it’s imperative to select suitable frailty diagnostic tools tailored to the specific characteristics of the population in question. This, in turn, facilitates the accurate identification of frailty in o...
