Background: Previous studies had indicated that sarcopenia and depressive symptoms were associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of present study was to evaluate the combined effect of sarcopenia and depressive symptoms on the CVD risk.

Methods: A total of 11,011 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011-2020 were included. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to explore the associations between sarcopenia, depressive symptoms and new-onset CVD, stroke and cardiac events.

Results: During the 7-year follow-up, a total of 2,388 respondents experienced CVD (including 812 stroke and 1,831 cardiac events). There is a significant additive and multiplicative interactions of sarcopenia and depressive symptoms on risk of CVD, stroke and cardiac events. Compared with those without sarcopenia and depressive symptoms, individuals with depressive sarcopenia had the highest risk of CVD, stroke and cardiac events, with the corresponding hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) were 1.43 (1.26-1.63), 1.45 (1.15-1.82) and 1.50 (1.29-1.74), respectively.

Conclusion: Our study indicated that there was a combined effect of sarcopenia and depressive symptoms on the risk of CVD, stroke and cardiac events. Our findings highlighted the importance of identifying sarcopenia and depressive symptoms, and intervening much earlier both in older and younger population.

To assess the association between possible sarcopenia and the risk for frailty in middle-aged and elderly adults in China. A prospective cohort study design was used in this study. Data were from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study during 2011-2018 and the baseline data in 2011, the follow up was conducted in 2013, 2015 and 2018, respectively.

Numerous factors, including age chronic disease, level of education, and depression, affect the health and function of skeletal muscles. However, it is still unclear which factors affect skeletal muscle health in older age groups across age range segments. Decision tree and logistic regression models were employed in this study to examine the factors that influence older adults' likelihood of developing sarcopenia.

Late-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD) that results from the dysregulation of multiple innate and adaptive immune pathways. Late-onset SLE (Lo-SLE) is the term used when the disease is first diagnosed after 50-65 years, though the standard age cut-off remains undefined. Defining "late-onset" as lupus with onset after 50 years is more biologically plausible as this roughly corresponds to the age of menopause.

Cut-Off Points for Low Relative 30-s Sit-to-Stand Power and Their Associations With Adverse Health Conditions.

Background: Despite muscle power derived from the 5-rep sit-to-stand (STS) test having been demonstrated to be a valuable biomarker in older individuals, there is limited information regarding muscle power derived from the 30-s STS test, a widely used test in the clinical setting. This study aimed (i) to compare relative 30-s STS power values between older men and women, (ii) to identify cut-off points for low relative 30-s STS power, (iii) to compare the prevalence of low relative STS power between sexes and (iv) to evaluate the association of low relative 30-s STS power with adverse conditions in older people.

Methods: A total of 1475 community-dwelling older adults (65-98 years; 45% men) from the Toledo Study for Healthy Aging were included.
