Predicting Sarcopenia and Frailty Risk in Patients Post Heart Transplantation.

Clin Transplant

January 2025

Rehabilitation Research Center (REVAL), Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Hasselt University, Diepenbeek, Belgium.

Introduction: Currently, there is little evidence on the prevalence and factors associated with sarcopenia risk or frailty risk in patients post heart transplantation (HTx). The objective of this study was to analyze the influence of sociodemographic, lifestyle, physical, and psychological factors on sarcopenia and frailty risk in patients post-HTx.

Methods: 133 patients post-HTx (59.

Background: Frailty is a significant predictor for adverse outcomes. Yet, data on prevalence and treatment of frail patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains limited. We aimed to investigate frailty prevalence, interventional treatment frequency, and in-hospital outcome for all patients hospitalized for ACS in Germany from 2005 to 2022 and validate the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) in this population.

Background: Frailty is a known determinant of poor clinical outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, prevalence estimates and effect sizes vary in part due to multiple tools available to measure frailty.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the prevalence and prognostic value of six commonly used frailty assessments in adults with HFpEF.

Cardiometabolic index and mortality risks: elevated cancer and reduced cardiovascular mortality risk in a large cohort.

Lipids Health Dis

December 2024

Department of Clinical Laboratory Medicine, Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University (Army Medical University), No.30 Gautanyan Zhengjie, Shapingba District, Chongqing, China.

Background: With metabolic disorders on the rise globally, the cardiometabolic index (CMI) has emerged as a crucial predictor of mortality risks linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. This novel index, which combines lipid metabolism and body composition, is the focus of this study, aimed at exploring its association with all-cause and specific mortality in an all-age adult population.

Methods: A longitudinal cohort study including 5,728 participants aged over 18 from nine cycles between 2001 and 2018 was enrolled and assessed.

Association of calf circumference with osteoporosis and hip fracture in middle-aged and older adults: a secondary analysis.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

December 2024

Department of Orthopaedics, School of Medicine, Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University, No. 87 Ding Jia Qiao, Nanjing, 210009, Jiangsu, China.

Background: Osteosarcopenia is a geriatric syndrome associated with an increased risk of frailty, falls, fractures, disability, and death. Calf circumference (CC) has been used as a simple and practical skeletal muscle marker to diagnose sarcopenia. This study aimed to explore the relationship of calf circumference and osteoporosis (OP) and hip fractures (HF) in middle-aged and older adults.
