Article Abstract
: This study aims to detect the prevalence of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults in Hunan Province, discuss factors related to lifestyle, and provide a reliable basis for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia. : In this study, a total of 1040 community-dwelling adults ≥ 60 years were examined for sarcopenia using a cluster stratified random sampling method, which was defined using the diagnostic criteria recommended by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) from September 2019 to March 2020. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the correlation between sarcopenia and smoking, drinking, nutritional status, physical activity, and sleep quality. : A total of 27.1% of the older adults were diagnosed with sarcopenia, with rates of 26.2% in men and 25.2% in women. Multiple logistic regression showed that advanced age (OR = 2.480, 95% CI: 1.730, 3.553), the risk of malnutrition (OR = 2.085, 95% CI: 1.440, 3.019), and malnutrition (OR = 1.212, 95% CI: 0.304, 4.834) were risk factors for sarcopenia. No falls in the previous year (OR = 0.616, 95% CI: 1.885, 1.209), normal weight (OR = 0.228, 95% CI: 0.109, 0.475), overweight (OR = 0.030, 95% CI: 0.013, 0.069), moderate physical activity (OR = 0.593, 95% CI: 0.377, 0.933), or high physical activity (OR = 0.417, 95% CI: 0.230, 0.755) were identified as protective factors for sarcopenia. : The prevalence of sarcopenia was high among older adults in the community in Hunan Province. In addition, we found that lifestyle is an important factor in sarcopenia.

Since the beginning of the corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, nursing home residents had been under strict quarantine, which greatly affected their lifestyle and health. In this follow-up study, we analysed whether lifestyle changes during the lockdown had an impact on their body composition and nutritional status. For this purpose we determined body composition, nutritional status, and osteosarcopenic adiposity (OSA) prevalence in 24 volunteer nursing home residents just before the February 2020 COVID-19 lockdown and about 15 months into the lockdown.

Background: Muscular atrophy often can be seen at the end of stage in many chronic diseases. It will also negatively influence patients' outcomes. Different studies showed that the association between muscular atrophy and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was unclear.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how non-drug treatments affect sarcopenic obesity (SO) through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
- Results indicated that exercise and nutrition can improve various physical health metrics, such as body fat percentage (PBF) and grip strength, but individual interventions showed limited effectiveness.
- The combination of exercise and nutritional interventions proved to be the most effective approach for improving outcomes related to SO, highlighting the potential role of physical therapy as well.
Poor sleep quality is associated with probable sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults: Results from the longevity check-up (lookup) 8.

Background: Poor sleep quality may contribute to sarcopenia, but evidence remains sparse. This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated the association between subjective sleep quality and probable sarcopenia in a cohort of community-dwelling older adults enrolled in the Longevity Check-Up 8+ study.
Methods: Participants were asked about their sleep quality over the past month, with four possible options ("very good", "quite good", "quite bad", very bad").

University of Groningen, University Medical Center Groningen, Department of Epidemiology, Groningen, Netherlands (the).
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can induce immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This study investigates the relationship between CT-assessed sarcopenia and irAEs in patients with lung cancer who are receiving ICIs.
Methods: Patients were enrolled if they had lung cancer treated with ICIs at the University Medical Center Groningen (2015-2021) and had undergone low-dose CT scans that included the third lumbar vertebral level (L3).
