The Cardiometabolic Syndrome and Sarcopenic Obesity in Older Persons

Dominguez, Ligia J., Barbagallo, Mario·2007·Journal of the CardioMetabolic Syndrome

Abstract

The aging of the world's population is a major contributor to the growing prevalence of the cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) because older persons are more affected by the constellation of cardiovascular risk factors that constitute the syndrome. The prevalence of CMS has been related to the increasing prevalence of obesity, which is growing progressively even among older age groups. Indeed, obesity and aging are 2 overlapping mounting public health problems. It is currently accepted that CMS predicts cardiovascular mortality and/or the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and this is also true in studies including older persons. CMS is further complicated by modifications in body composition and fat redistribution during aging; older adults are at higher risk for developing central obesity and sarcopenia or sarcopenic obesity, a condition characterized by an important reduction in lean body mass associated with obesity, linked to an increased production of inflammatory adipokines that may alter insulin sensitivity and muscle mass and strength. A better understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of sarcopenic obesity may help to elucidate the complex relationship between CMS and mortality/morbidity in older adults.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Loss of muscle mass leads to less insulin-responsive target tissue, resulting in a severe condition of insulin resistance.

    “On the other hand, the loss of muscle mass leads to less insulin-responsive target tissue, resulting in a severe condition of insulin resistance (12, 13).”

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.
