Purpose Of Review: to evaluate recent scientific research studies related to the changes in skeletal muscle after stroke and the presence of sarcopenia in stroke survivors to establish its incidence and effects on function.
Recent Findings: Recently published findings on stroke-related sarcopenia are limited. This might be due to changes in the consensus definition of sarcopenia. Sarcopenia in stroke patients is estimated at 14 to 54%. The presence of sarcopenia at the time of a stroke can lead to worse recovery and functional outcomes.
Summary: Presence of sarcopenia prior to a stroke may be more common than suspected and can lead to worse functional recovery. Clinicians should be aware of this to better identify and treat stroke-related sarcopenia. Future research should focus on larger population studies to more accurately establish correlation between stroke and sarcopenia.

The association of dietary inflammatory index and osteosarcopenia in Iranian adults: results of iranian multicenter osteoporosis study.
J Diabetes Metab Disord
June 2025
Food and Beverages Safety Research Center, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran.
Objectives: To investigate the association between the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and osteosarcopenia using nationally representative data.
Methods: We utilized data from 1,418 men and women aged ≥ 50 years old participating in Iranian Multicenter Osteoporosis Study (IMOS), a nation-wide, cross-sectional study conducted in 2021. Osteosarcopenia was defined based on standard criteria, considering the presence of both osteopenia/osteoporosis and sarcopenia.
Unraveling the dual threat: sarcopenia and insufficient physical activity in diabetes risk.

Department of Clinical Nutrition, Zibo First Hospital, Zibo, China.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the alterations in diabetes risk associated with sarcopenia and insufficient physical activity, as well as the demographic shifts within the diabetic population.
Method: Utilizing pertinent data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database spanning 2011 to 2018, the criteria for sarcopenia were established by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health. These criteria were calculated using lean body mass data in conjunction with body mass index data.

Division of Geriatrics, Department of Internal Medicine, Istanbul Medical Faculty, Istanbul University, Topkapi, Turgut Ozal Millet Street, Fatih/Istanbul, 34093, Türkiye.
Objective: The Simpler Modified Fried Frailty Scale (SMFFS) has recently been developed from the original Fried scale to ease its use in clinical practice, by transforming the items requiring measurements into the self-reported inquiries. Its predictive validity needs to be clarified, especially in populations with a high prevalence of frailty, such as patients with heart failure (HF). Primary aim of this study is to find out the prevalence of frailty in older patients with HF by using SMFFS and show its concordance with other frailty assessment tools.

Sarcopenic obesity, characterized by the concurrent presence of muscle loss and obesity, poses significant health challenges, especially in the elderly. This review explores the impact of sarcopenic obesity on disability, metabolic health, comorbidities, and potential management strategies. With the aging global population, the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is expected to increase, necessitating a comprehensive management approach.
