Personalized Diet With or Without Physical Exercise Improves Nutritional Status, Muscle Strength, Physical Performance, and Quality of Life in Malnourished Older Adults: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study.

Malnutrition (MN) is prevalent in older adults and closely related to sarcopenia, frailty, morbidity, mortality, and decreased quality of life. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of a personalized diet combined with planned physical exercise on nutritional status, physical performance, and quality of life (QoL) in malnourished older adult patients. In this prospective study, 20 older adults with MN risk according to the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) were randomized into (i) personalized diet (PD) and (ii) personalized diet with physical exercise (PDE) groups, and followed up with for 12 weeks.

Estimation of the appendicular skeletal muscle mass and phase angle cut-off values from a young Turkish reference population using multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis.

Objective: Population-specific muscle mass cut-off values are recommended for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. In this study, we aimed to determine the appendicular muscle mass index (ASMI) and phase angle (PA) cut-off values for the Turkish population using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (mBIA).

Patients And Methods: A total of 250 healthy volunteers aged 18-40 years were included in the study between September 2020 and December 2021.

Assessment of Tp-Te interval in patients with cardiac AL amyloidosis.

Background: Prolonged Tp-Te interval is strongly associated with fatal ventricular arrhythmias and mortality. This association has been demonstrated in various diseases. However, the current literature does not give any information on Tp-Te interval in cardiac amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis.

Malnutrition risk in hospitalized patients measured with Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 tool and its association with in-hospital mortality.

Objective: Malnutrition is related to increased morbidity, mortality, and costs. NRS-2002 is a practical malnutrition risk (MR) screening tool approved by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) for inpatients. We aimed to reveal the inpatient MR using NRS-2002, and to examine the relationship between MR and in-hospital mortality.
