Article Synopsis
  • Sarcopenia, a condition that can predict negative health outcomes in hospitalized older adults, was studied for its prevalence using three diagnostic methods.
  • The study found that sarcopenia rates varied between 7.3% to 31.6%, with substantial agreement observed in different diagnostic approaches and three distinct clusters identified based on age, body composition, and functional status.
  • The findings emphasize the need for standardized assessment tools and criteria, as accurately diagnosing sarcopenia can lead to better management and interventions for older patients.

We aimed to investigate which among 20 cardiometabolic and performance outcomes do and do not respond to high-intensity interval training (HIT), resistance training (RT), or concurrent training (CT) in insulin-resistant adult women. A secondary aim was to report the training-induced changes and the prevalence of non-responders. Forty-five insulin-resistant adult women were randomly assigned to one of the following 4 groups: HIT (39.

Objective: To determine the ability of 8 different maximal oxygen uptake (VO) equations to discriminate between low and high cardiometabolic risk, and to determine cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) cutoffs associated with a more favorable cardiometabolic risk profile in Colombian children and adolescents.

Study Design: In a cross-sectional study, CRF was estimated using the 20-m shuttle run test in 2870 schoolchildren (54.5% girls) from Bogota, Colombia.

Background: Low muscular fitness (MF) and low-grade inflammation has been linked to insulin resistance (IR).

Objective: To evaluate the associations between MF and a clustered score of inflammatory biomarkers on IR and to investigate the combined impact of MF and inflammation on IR in adolescents.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis with 529 adolescents (267 girls) aged 12 to 18 years.
