“…Several studies have reported a relationship between sarcopenia and ADL. 22,23 However, there have been no cohort studies showing the relationship between sarcopenic dysphagia and improvement of ADL. Both groups might have acquired ADL by compensatory strategies, such as the use of selfhelp devices and orthoses.…”

Aim In sarcopenic dysphagia, confirmation of recovery of the swallowing function and activity of daily living is insufficient. The aim of this study was to examine differences in the recovery of the swallowing function and activities of daily living between sarcopenic dysphagia patients and non‐sarcopenic dysphagia patients. Methods The registry data of the Japanese Sarcopenic Dysphagia Database were used for the analysis; 440 patients met the eligibility criteria of the study. Dysphagia was evaluated according to the Food Intake Level Scale and a five‐step diagnostic algorithm for the disorder. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of sarcopenic dysphagia. Results Sarcopenic dysphagia was found in 268 cases (60.9%). The rate of improvement in the Food Intake Level Scale was 47.4% in sarcopenic dysphagia patients and 62.2% in non‐sarcopenic dysphagia patients. The rate of improvement in the Food Intake Level Scale was lower in the sarcopenic dysphagia patients (P = 0.008). A multiple regression analysis showed that the presence of sarcopenic dysphagia had a significant influence on changes in the Food Intake Level Scale and Barthel Index (β = −0.191, 95% confidence interval, −1.484 to −0.530, P < 0.001, β = 0.112, 95% confidence interval, 0.587 to 10.450, P = 0.028). Conclusion Improvement in the swallowing function was poor in patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. Sarcopenic dysphagia should be examined to improve swallowing function.

“…In a previous study on older nursing home Japanese residents requiring long-term care, muscle mass was predicted using a formula based on height, weight, and optical density 8) . All guidelines for sarcopenia diagnosis recommend the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or BIA to measure muscle mass [1][2][3][4] .…”

“…The study results suggested that the sarcopenia prevalence in older adults requiring long-term care/support and utilizing day care was extremely high reaching 60.2%. Internationally, Japan has the highest proportion of older adults of the total population, and one in every five to six older adults require long-term care/support 7,8) . Therefore, sarcopenia prevention and treatment might be the focus of care for older adults requiring long-term care/support.…”

“…In the other words, those who required long-term care, or had Alzheimer's disease, diabetes mellitus, spinal disease, or other diseases were excluded. In research on Japanese older nursing home residents with certification of requiring long-term care, the prevalence of sarcopenia was 45.2% 8) . Moreover, we hypothesized that the changes in criteria might further affect older adults requiring long-term care/support with high sarcopenia prevalence and low muscle strength and physical performance.…”

IntroductionOral consumption of probiotics can alter Gut Microbiota by causing changes in the production of probiotic derivatives. Therefore, by utilizing Gut-Brain-Axis (GBA), probiotics could provide an opportunity for central nervous system (CNS) modulation, including cognitive function. Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food rich in probiotics and beneficial for cognitive function. However, the type of probiotics that play a role in cognitive improvement and the number of probiotics needed for the benefits of increasing cognitive function was unknown.MethodThis experimental study involved a total of 93 subjects, divided into 3 groups: A, B and C/control (n: 33, 32, and 28), who were provided with probiotic supplementation isolated from tempeh for 12 weeks intervention. Inclusion criteria were age > 60 years, and memory impairment with the third repetition value of Word List Memory Immediate Recall (WLMIR) < 7. Subjects with diabetes were excluded. Cognitive function examinations were carried out before and after treatment. The tempeh-derived probiotics were prepared trough several processes. Genomic isolation, detection of GABA-encoding genes, and species identification using the 16S-rRNA gene encoding were performed.ResultsThe probiotics isolate used in the intervention was identified as Limosilactobacillus fermentum. We assigned this isolate as L. fermentum A2.8. The presence of the gene encoding GABA was found on this isolate. There was an increase in the cognitive domains of memory, learning process, and verbal fluency (p < 0.05) in group A (probiotics at concentration of 108 CFU/mL). Memory function, visuospatial, and verbal fluency improved (p < 0.05) in group B (probiotics at concentration of 107 CFU/mL). Only an increase in the memory domain was observed in the control group. Improvement of the learning process occurred only in group A (p = 0.006).ConclusionAdministration of probiotics derived from L. fermentum A2.8 increased the cognitive domains of memory, language and visuospatial function. However, probiotic supplementation at a concentration of 108 CFU/mL was better in improving the learning process. This study succeeded in detecting Lactic Acid Bacterial isolates L. fermentum A2.8 that enclosed gene encoding glutamate decarboxylase (gad) which is involved in the synthesis of -aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter vital for cognitive function.
