Using mid-upper arm circumference -score measurement to support youth malnutrition screening as part of a global sports and wellness program and improve access to nutrition care.

Objective: Historically, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) has been instrumental to identifying malnutrition in children under 5 years living in resource restricted settings. Less attention is directed to at-risk, school-aged youth. Updated and validated pediatric age- and gender-specific MUAC growth curves expand malnutrition screening opportunities (2 months-18 years) including overweight/obesity.

Association Between Pulse Wave Velocity and Frailty, Disability, and Mortality in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.

Background: Arterial stiffness leads to several adverse events in the older population, but there is a lack of data on its association with frailty, disability, and mortality in the same population.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of arterial stiffness in the loss of functional ability (frailty and disability) and mortality.

Methods: Data were taken from community-dwelling aged 65 years participants without diabetes in the Toledo Study of Healthy Ageing cohort.

Early enteral nutrition is associated with improved outcomes in critically ill mechanically ventilated medical and surgical patients.

Background And Aims: Data suggest that guidelines for enteral nutrition (EN) initiation are not closely followed in clinical practice. In addition, critically ill mechanically ventilated (MV) patients have varying metabolic needs, which often increase and persist over time, requiring personalized nutrition intervention. While both over- and under-nutrition can impact patient outcomes, recent data suggest that targeted early EN delivery may reduce mortality and improve clinical outcomes.

Good nutrition across the lifespan is foundational for healthy aging and sustainable development.

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing across the age spectrum are essential to sustainable development. Nutrition is at the heart of the World Health Organization (WHO) Sustainable Development Goals, particularly for Sustainable Development Goal 2/Subgoal 2, which is to . This subgoal addresses people of all ages, including targeted groups like young children and older adults.
