AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on body composition, particularly muscle and bone mass, in girls with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA).
- It involved 210 girls aged 10-18, comparing the body composition between those with moderate and severe scoliosis based on the Cobb angle measurement.
- Results indicated that girls with AIS had lower BMI, body fat percentage, and muscle mass compared to healthy peers, with these lower metrics being associated with the severity of scoliosis.
Article Abstract
Introduction: There are few reports on body composition, particularly muscle mass, in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The purpose of this study was to measure body composition including muscle mass and estimated bone mass of patients with AIS using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and to clarify the relationship between the degree of scoliosis and body composition.
Methods: The subjects were 210 girls (mean age 14.0 years, range 10-18 years) whose body composition was evaluated using BIA (Tanita MC-780). Body mass index (BMI), percent body fat (%BF), lean muscle mass index (LMI: muscle mass/height^2), and estimated bone mass index (eBoneMI: estimated bone mass/height^2) were determined by age and compared with those of previous reports. We divided 111 subjects whose bone maturation was complete into two groups for comparison of body composition metrics: those with Cobb angle <40° (moderate scoliosis group) and those with Cobb angle ≥40° (severe scoliosis group). The relationships between Cobb angle and each body composition parameter were evaluated.
Results: Age-adjusted BMI, %BF, and LMI tended to be low at all ages compared with means for the healthy Japanese population as previously reported. BMI, LMI, and eBoneMI were significantly lower in the severe scoliosis group compared with those in the moderate scoliosis group (p<0.05). In addition, all BMI, LMI, and eBoneMI were weakly correlated with Cobb angle (r= -0.20, -0.26, and -0.24).
Conclusions: On the basis of the results of this study, patients with AIS are thinner, with lower BMI, %BF, and LMI compared with healthy girls of the same age. Furthermore, factors such as lower BMI, lower muscle mass, and lower estimated bone mass were correlated with progressive scoliosis.

Background: For people receiving haemodialysis, a balance has to be struck between removing sufficient but not too much fluid during a treatment session and maintaining any remaining kidney function they might have. In the BISTRO trial, this study sought to establish if getting the balance right might be improved by the additional use of bioimpedance, a device that measures body fluid composition to help decide how much fluid to remove during dialysis. Designing and executing this trial, which incorporated complex and repeated trial procedures that would be dependent on participant engagement, presented challenges that demanded effective public and patient involvement.

Aims: This study evaluated the effects of circuit resistance training (CRT), a vegetarian/Mediterranean diet (VegMedD), and empagliflozin on Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) in older adults with Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: 67 participants from CEV-65 trial (≥65 years, 61 % female) were randomly assigned to CRT, VegMedD, or empagliflozin for 10 weeks. Assessments included RMR, medical, metabolic, nutritional, anthropometric and functional measurements.

Introduction: Oral Semaglutide (Sema-o) is the first oral glucagon like peptide-1 receptor analogue (GLP-1RA) commercially available for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Sema-o in patients with T2D when added to the existing therapy.
Methods: This retrospective real-world study enrolled adult patients with diabetes taking Sema-o, with at least one follow-up (from February 2022 till October 2023).
