Influence of Klotho Protein Levels in Obesity and Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review.

The gene is recognized for its anti-aging properties. Its downregulation leads to aging-like phenotypes, whereas overexpression can extend lifespan. Klotho protein exists in three forms: α-klotho, β-klotho and γ-klotho.

Phase angle: Differences between disease-related malnutrition, obesity and healthy people.

Introduction: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a tool used in clinical nutrition and pure electrical data such as phase angle (PA) has shown prognostic value. It relates resistance and reactance indicating cellular health.

Objective: To determine differences in PA between patients with obesity and disease-related malnutrition (DRM) compared to the healthy population, and to establish associations between PA and other body composition (BC) parameters.
