Article Synopsis
- Sarcopenia is a major health concern for nursing home residents, marked by muscle mass and function loss, making effective screening essential.
- This study evaluated the effectiveness of two existing screening tools (SARC-F and SARC-CalF) and introduced a new tool called SEAC, tailored for this population.
- Results showed that SEAC had the highest diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity, suggesting it could significantly enhance early detection and management of sarcopenia in nursing homes.
Existing metabolomic clocks exhibit deficiencies in capturing the heterogeneous aging rates among individuals with the same chronological age. Yet, the modifiable and non-modifiable factors in metabolomic aging have not been systematically studied. Here, a new aging measure-MetaboAgeMort-is developed using metabolomic profiles from 239,291 UK Biobank participants for 10-year all-cause mortality prediction.
