Sarcopenia and obesity
Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Together with age-related body composition changes, the increased prevalence of obesity observed in the past few decades in older individuals has led to a condition called sarcopenic obesity, characterized by a mismatch between muscle mass and fat mass. The operative definition of sarcopenic obesity is still under discussion and creates difficulties in clinical practice. Muscle weakness, rather than low muscle mass, was previously proposed as an alternative criterion and, more recently, the dynapenic abdominal obese phenotype is of increasing interest because of its unfavorable health consequences and usability in clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS: This review focuses on the most recent findings of pathogenic inter-relationships between adipose tissue and muscle. Recent studies on health consequences of sarcopenic obesity and dynapenic abdominal obesity are also examined. Despite the lack of consensus on a definition for sarcopenic obesity, progress has been made in the delineation of the treatment principles for this condition. SUMMARY: Further research is needed to compare different definitions of sarcopenic/dynapenic obesity to clarify the relationship between obesity and the most important adverse outcomes in the elderly. The next step will be the definition of best possible therapeutic approaches for this condition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
