Multicompartment body composition analysis in older adults: a cross-sectional study.

BMC Geriatr

February 2023

College of Nursing at Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Avenue of Bandeirantes nº 3900, University Campus - Monte Alegre, Ribeirão Preto-SP, Brazil.

Background: During aging, changes occur in the proportions of muscle, fat, and bone. Body composition (BC) alterations have a great impact on health, quality of life, and functional capacity. Several equations to predict BC using anthropometric measurements have been developed from a bi-compartmental (2-C) approach that determines only fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM).

Background: Nutritional status, health risk behaviors, eating habits, and other comorbidities (such as diabetes) may be associated with recommended amounts of physical activity (PA) and exercise (EX) in healthy older adults. However, these associations are still unclear for older hypertensive adults, who require greater care from health professionals. The purpose of this study was to associate the nutritional status, health risk behaviors, eating habits, and the presence of diabetes with recommended amounts of physical activity and exercise practice of older hypertensive adults.

Handgrip strength asymmetry cut points to identify slow gait speed in six low- and middle-income countries: A cross-sectional analysis with 12,669 older adults.

Arch Gerontol Geriatr

March 2023

Study and Research Group in Anthropometry, Training, and Sport (GEPEATE), School of Physical Education and Sport of Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Avenue of Bandeirantes n° 3900, University Campus - Monte Alegre, Ribeirão Preto, SP 14040-902, Brazil; College of Nursing at Ribeirão Preto, University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.

Background: Handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry is associated with slow gait speed. Both mark muscle dysfunction, potential risk of falls, and adverse health outcomes. This association was found in older adults from high-income countries, but not yet studied in low- and middle-income countries.

Resistance training with blood flow restriction (RTBFR) allows physically impaired people living with HIV (PWH) to exercise at lower intensities than traditional resistance training (TRT). But the acute and chronic cardiac and metabolic responses of PWH following an RTBFR protocol are unknown. The objective was to compare the safety of acute and chronic effects on hemodynamic and lipid profiles between TRT or RTBFR in PWH.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the use of bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) to assess body composition, hydration, and physical performance in older adults, particularly focusing on those with sarcopenia (muscle loss condition).
  • It involved 94 older adults (ages 60-85) and found that both classic and specific BIVA effectively identified sarcopenia in women, but had limitations with men; classic BIVA was more reliable in distinguishing muscle index and performance.
  • The findings suggest that classic BIVA is a valuable tool for monitoring risks related to sarcopenia in older adults, especially for female subjects, while specific BIVA showed less distinction.

Background: Due to the worldwide rise in cancer incidence, and therefore the rise in the need for antineoplastic chemotherapy, it is important for both healthcare professionals and patients alike that the side effects of chemotherapy, such as chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), are treated and prevented. Auriculotherapy is a type of acupuncture and may be a low-cost and safe antiemetic measure to control the side effects of chemotherapy. The goal of this systematic review is to synthesize the available evidence in the literature regarding the auriculotherapy effects to treat CINV in people with cancer.
