Unlabelled: Összefoglaló. Bevezetés: A sarcopenia - időskori izomerő- és izomtömeg-csökkenés - a természetes öregedés része, ha viszont súlyos működési zavarokat okoz, már betegségnek tekintendő. Ezért a szövődményes, rossz kimenetelek mérsékléséhez minél korábbi felismerése nélkülözhetetlen. Célkitűzés: A sarcopenia kockázatának gyors értékelésére a SARC-F szerzői egyszerű szűrő kérdőívet alkottak, amelyet a sarcopeniát meghatározó diagnosztikus ajánlások kiemelten javallanak. E kérdőív magyar változatának jellemzőit vizsgáltuk, annak validálása céljából. Módszer: A kérdőívet 105, 65 éves vagy ennél idősebb személy bevonásával teszteltük. Az izomtömeg, az izomerő és a teljesítmény értékelése előtt a résztvevők kitöltöttek két generikus, valamint egy betegségspecifikus életminőség-kérdőívet. A megbízhatóság, konvergens, divergens, valamint konstruktumérvényesség vizsgálata mellett az eszköz diagnosztikus alkalmasságát is teszteltük. Statisztikai analízis: A Cronbach-alfa-érték, a Spearman/Pearson-féle korrelációs koefficiensek, a khi-négyzet-teszt, a szenzitivitás, a specificitás meghatározásához, a pozitív és negatív predikciós számításokhoz az SPSS 17.0 programot használtuk. Eredmények: A sarcopenia várható kockázata a SARC-F-teszt szerint (≥4 pont) 36%, míg az európai konszenzusdefiníció alapján sarcopeniásnak minősített esetek előfordulása 40% volt. A sarcopeniás egyéneknek jelentősen magasabb - domének szerinti és összesített - SARC-F-pontjaik voltak. A kérdőívet nagyon jó belső konzisztencia (Cronbach-alfa: 0,755), jó specificitás és magas negatív predikciós értékek jellemezték. Következtetés: A SARC-F magyar változata megbízható eszköznek tekinthető a sarcopenia kockázatának gyors és olcsó előrejelzésére. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(47): 2000-2005.
Introduction: Sarcopenia is an age-related involution process, causing a significant functional disability, therefore it can be classified as a disease. Early recognition of the disease is essential. Objetive: Authors of the original SARC-F questionnaire developed a simple and rapid screening tool, recommended by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia as the mandatory first step in the diagnostic process of sarcopenia. Our study aimed to test and validate the Hungarian version of this instrument.
Method: 105 volunteers of 65+ years were recruited and evaluated for sarcopenia (muscle mass, strength and performance). Participants completed the SARC-F, other two generic and one disease-specific quality-of-life questionnaires. We checked the instrument for reliability, validity (discriminative power, construct, convergent and divergent validity) and screening performance.
Statistical Analysis: Cronbach's alpha test, the Pearson/Spearman's correlation coefficient, chi-square test, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value calculations have been performed. The SPSS 17.0 statistical program was used.
Results: The prevalence of sarcopenia according to the SARC-F test (score: ≥4) was 36%, while 40% was diagnosed with the European consensus definition. Sarcopenic individuals had significantly higher SARC-F total and domain scores. Very good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.755), specificity and negative predictive values were found.
Conclusion: A reliable, rapid and inexpensive sarcopenia indicator is now available to timely detect the Hungarian-speaking patients at risk of sarcopenia. Orv Hetil. 2020; 161(47): 2000-2005.

Impaired nutritional status is closely related to the development of sarcopenia and poor quality of life (QoL) in cancer patients. This study aimed to investigate the association of Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) with sarcopenia and QoL in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria.

Background: With the increasing number of older adults, musculoskeletal disorders such as sarcopenia have become increasingly important to research because of their strong association with falls and fractures. Sarcopenia, which is characterized by reduced muscle mass, is common among older adults and significantly increases the risk of falls. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the SARC-F and SARC-CalF questionnaires, along with calf circumference measurements, for sarcopenia screening among Thai community-dwelling older adults, following the 2019 criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia.

Introduction: Sarcopenia is a disease primarily characterized by age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and/or decline in physical performance. Sarcopenia has an insidious onset which can cause functional impairment in the body and increase the risk of falls and disability in the elderly. It significantly increases the likelihood of fractures and mortality, severely impairing the quality of life and health of the elderly people.

Background: Plant-based foods have reduced protein digestibility and frequently display unbalanced amino acid profiles. Plant-based foods are therefore considered inferior to animal-based foods in their anabolic potential. No study has assessed the anabolic potential of a vegan diet that provides a large variety of plant-based protein sources in older adults.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between PET and CT parameters and sarcopenia, adipose tissue, and tumor metabolism in esophageal carcinoma(EC) and its impact on survival in EC.
Method: Our study included 122 EC patients who underwent PET/CT for staging. Muscle and adipose tissue characteristics were evaluated, including lumbar(L3) and cervical(C3) muscle areas, psoas major(PM) and sternocleidomastoid muscle(SCM) parameters, and PET parameters for visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue(SAT).
