The impact of post-resistance exercise protein consumption on subsequent appetite and daily energy intake of sarcopenic older men: a pilot study

M. Maltais, M. Du Bois-Dit-Bonclaude, T. Amamou, et al.

Aging Clin Exp Res. 2018;30(9):1087-1092

Post-exercise consumption of protein supplements made from dairy products appear not to compromise daily nutritional behavior and does not confer the anticipated negative impact on nutritional intake in sarcopenic older men.

Effect of resistance training on inflammatory markers of older adults: A meta-analysis

A.V. Sardeli, C.M. Tomeleri, E.S. Cyrino, et al.

Exp Gerontol. 2018;111:188-196

Low-grade inflammation is associated with several deleterious health outcomes and may aggravate sarcopenia and dynapenia during aging. A strategy to alleviate these conditions is resistance training (RT). Thus, the aim was to critically examine the effects of regular RT on inflammatory markers of older adults from previous studies.

Effects of 8-week kettlebell training on body composition, muscle strength, pulmonary function, and chronic low-grade inflammation in elderly women with sarcopenia

H.T. Chen, H.J. Wu, Y.J. Chen, et al.

Exp Gerontol. 2018;112:112-118

This is a randomized controlled trial aimed at examining the effect of kettlebell training on body composition, muscle strength, pulmonary function, and chronic low-grade inflammatory markers among elderly people with sarcopenia.

Role of Oral Nutritional Supplements Enriched with β-Hydroxy-β-Methylbutyrate in Maintaining Muscle Function and Improving Clinical Outcomes in Various Clinical Settings

A. Sanz-Paris, M. Camprubi-Robles, J.M. Lopez-Pedrosa, et al.

J Nutr Health Aging. 2018;22(6):664-675

Overall, current evidence suggests that therapeutic nutrition such as β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HP-ONS+HMB) seems to be a promising tool to mitigate the decline in muscle mass and preserve muscle function, especially during hospital rehabilitation and recovery.

Sarcopenia and Undernutrition Among Portuguese Older Adults: Results From Nutrition UP 65 Study

A.R. Sousa-Santos, C. Afonso, N. Borges, et al.

Food Nutr Bull. 2018;39(3):487-492

Using a cross-sectional analysis, 1493 Portuguese older adults age ≥65 years from the Nutrition UP 65 study were evaluated. Sarcopenia was defined according to the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People, and undernutrition status was evaluated by Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis in the assessment of sarcopenia

M.C. Gonzalez, T.G. Barbosa-Silva, S.B. Heymsfield

Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2018;21(5):366-374

As bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA) equations and cut-off values are population and device-specific, results should be interpreted with caution when data from different devices are applied in equations or using cut-off values from a different population.
