“…Furthermore, the ratio of peak VO 2 /BW and the SMI signicantly higher in patients with statin treatment than in those without statin treatment. 21) Statin inhibits enhanced neutrophil function after reperfusion. As a result, statin treatment can improve liver function.…”

Objective: With respect to liver function and heart failure, 46% of acute decompensated heart failure patients exhibit abnormal liver function. However, there have been no reports of the association between liver function and functional capacity in these patients. Our aim was to clarify the relationship between liver function and functional capacity using the peak oxygen uptake (VO 2 ). Methods: We retrospectively identified 36 heart failure patients who were referred to our rehabilitation laboratory. These patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX). Furthermore, we investigated the correlations between peak VO 2 , blood measurements [e.g., total bilirubin (T-bil) and brain natriuretic peptide], and echocardiographic parameters. Finally, multivariate regression analysis was performed to investigate the independent variables related to peak VO 2 . Results: The mean peak VO 2 was 10.7±2.9 ml/kg/min. Peak VO 2 during CPX correlated inversely with T-bil [r=-0.379, 95% confidence intervals (CI): −0.654 to −0.014, P=0.043], aspartate transaminase (r=-0.426, 95% CI: −0.685 to −0.07, P=0.021), and peak heart rate (r=0.391, 95% CI: 0.029 to 0.663, P=0.036). The significant independent factors associated with peak VO 2 were treatment with statin (β=-3.19, P=0.015) and T-bil levels (β=-4.27, P=0.002). Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that liver function may contribute to the functional capacity in heart failure patients.

“…Diagnosis of sarcopenia was performed by the diagnosis algorithm recommended by the guidelines of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia, as described previously. [13][14][15] Briefly, sarcopenia was diagnosed based on measurements of muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance. In practice, sarcopenia was diagnosed on the basis of low skeletal mass index (SMI; <7.0 kg/m 2 in male patients and <5.7 kg/m 2 in female patients) associated with either low handgrip strength (<26 kgf in male patients and <18 kgf in female patients) or low gait speed (<0.8 m/s).…”

BackgroundLong‐chain fatty acids are essential components of the cellular energy supply, cellular membranes, and autacoid synthesis. It has been suggested that long‐chain fatty acids might be involved in the pathophysiology underlying sarcopenia. We investigated the association between sarcopenia and serum long‐chain fatty acid profile in patients with cardiovascular diseases.MethodsWe retrospectively investigated 308 cardiovascular patients [age: 72 ± 12 (mean ± SD), 174 male patients] admitted to our hospital. All patients were evaluated by sarcopenia diagnostic tests and serum free fatty acid analyses.ResultsSeventy‐seven patients (25%) were diagnosed with sarcopenia. Serum fatty acid weight percentages of nervonic acid and erucic acid were elevated in patients with sarcopenia compared with those without. Nervonic acid, which was an independent factor for sarcopenia in binary logistics regression analysis (B = 2.559, p < 0.001), correlated negatively with skeletal muscle index (r = −0.331, p < 0.001), gait speed (r = −0.387, p < 0.001), and handgrip strength (r = −0.372, p < 0.001). These significant relationships were confirmed in subgroup analyses stratified by age and gender. In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the cut‐off of nervonic acid weight percentage for diagnosis of sarcopenia was 1.37% with a sensitivity and specificity of 76.6% and 65.1%, respectively.ConclusionsNervonic acid, an n‐9 monounsaturated fatty acid, might serve as a new marker for sarcopenia in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Further studies with larger patient numbers will be needed to determine the roles of long‐chain fatty acids in sarcopenia.

“…Skeletal muscle as a live tissue has a crucial role in metabolic health, strength and athletic performance and more importantly, skeletal tissue is capable of remarkable plasticity [ 31]. Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) plasticity is a result of the adaptation process that leads to increase or decrease of SMM [31][32][33]. Sarcopenia is a well-known term utilized to define the phenomenon of loss of SMM and strength that occurs with aging [ 32,33].…”

One of the most important health problems of today's society is hypokinesia accompanied by obesity. The assumption is that reduced physical activity has a large negative impact on the school population. The problem of reduced commitment and involvement of pupils in extracurricular activities is increasingly evident in recent times, which results in a number of negative health effects on the human body of an individual. This study comprised a group of pupils from first to the fourth year of elementary school in Pale (city East Sarajevo, BIH). The total sample consisted of 175 pupils (84 male and 91 female) age 11 to 14±0,5years. As a way of gathering the required information, we used an anonymous questionnaire of the open type in order to collect information about pupils involvement in extracurricular sports activities. The survey was conducted in October 2017 and all the pupils voluntarily participated in the study. Based on the survey results have been obtained the necessary information to reflect the very good of physical activity, of the pupils population. Of the total sample of pupils, the survey confirmed that 100% are physically active pupils. This is an encouraging result because today we have less physically active school children.
