“…Given that the equipment for measuring muscle mass, such as DXA, is seldom available in clinical practice, functional evaluations, such as HGS and gait speed tests that are easily applicable are an alternative. This study showed that women are more at risk for muscle impairment, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity, probably related to a more sedentary lifestyle [26], a traditional risk factor for the development of sarcopenia, obesity, and also sarcopenic obesity [6].…”

Obesity and muscle impairment (low muscle mass or strength) are present in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated to worse prognosis. However, the various existing definitions for these conditions make the diagnosis variable. The aim of the study was to evaluate the agreement between diagnostic criteria for sarcopenic obesity and its components in CKD. Two hundred and sixty seven patients with CKD were included in the study. We assessed body composition by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and muscle function by handgrip strength (HGS); adiposity by BMI, waist circumference (WC), fat mass index (FMI), and percentage of fat mass (%FM). Diagnosis of muscle impairment was made by HGS, appendicular lean mass (ALM) and index (ALMI); obesity by BMI, WC, FMI and %FM, and sarcopenic obesity was diagnosed by concomitant presence of muscle impairment and obesity. Prevalence of muscle impairment varied from 11 to 50%, higher when low muscle mass criteria was used. Prevalence of obesity varied from 26 to 62%, higher when WC and %FM criteria was used. Prevalence of sarcopenic obesity varied from 2 to 23%. Women were more affected by sarcopenic obesity. Muscle impairment and sarcopenic obesity were more prevalent among patients on hemodialysis and obesity among non-dialysis-dependent and kidney transplant patients. The agreement was poor between muscle mass and strength criteria; substantial between FMI, BMI, and %FM and only fair between WC and the others measures; for sarcopenic obesity, varied from poor to almost perfect. Significant differences were found among the various diagnostic criteria that are used in the diagnosis of sarcopenic obesity.

Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by chronic pain and fatigue, among other manifestations, thus advising interventions that do not aggravate these symptoms. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on induced fatigue, pain, endurance and functional capacity, physical performance and cortical excitability when compared with a physical exercise program in women with FM. Methods: A total of 49 women with FM took part in this randomized controlled trial. They were randomly allocated to three groups: physical exercise group (PEG, n = 16), low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy group (HBG, n = 17) and control group (CG, n = 16). Induced fatigue, perceived pain, pressure pain threshold, endurance and functional capacity, physical performance and cortical excitability were assessed. To analyse the effect of the interventions, two assessments, that is, pre and post intervention, were carried out. Analyses of the data were performed using two-way mixed multivariate analysis of variance. Results: The perceived pain and induced fatigue significantly improved only in the HBG ( p < 0.05) as opposed to PEG and CG. Pressure pain threshold, endurance and functional capacity, and physical performance significantly improved for both interventions ( p < 0.05). The cortical excitability (measured with the resting motor threshold) did not improve in any of the treatments ( p > 0.05). Conclusions: Low-pressure HBOT and physical exercise improve pressure pain threshold, endurance and functional capacity, as well as physical performance. Induced fatigue and perceived pain at rest significantly improved only with low-pressure HBOT. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03801109.
