“…Obesity and menopausal factors can act synergistically, which may worsen muscle functioning of obese middle-aged women. 51 Even though, we controlled the regression analysis for fat mass, we cannot generalize our results for obese individuals.…”

“…23,24 A prevalência de sarcopenia é variável a depender do critério diagnóstico e pontos de corte adotados. Alguns estudos identificaram 12,4% das mulheres entre 45-65 anos de idade com sarcopenia, 25 enquanto Manda e Burini, 26 utilizando o mesmo ponto de corte 8 que o presente estudo, verificaram sarcopenia em 15,25% das mulheres e 65,26% dos homens, ou seja, uma proporção muito maior em homens, evidenciando resultados bastante similares com o estudo atual (66,67% homens e 11,43% mulheres). Entretanto, demais pesquisadores 27 chegaram a resultados diferentes, em que 11,8% das mulheres eram sarcopênicas frente a 9,7% dos homens maiores de 20 anos de idade em estudo com a população coreana.…”

“…Estudos verificaram a existência de uma associação positiva entre IMC e CC com o IMM, 3,29 especialmente naqueles indivíduos que apresentam concentração adiposa na região abdominal. De igual modo, quando majoritariamente a distribuição adiposa é central, a musculatura de membros inferiores e superiores pode estar comprometida, em virtude do desuso ou menor mobilização por completa da capacidade muscular, conforme abordado em teste de suporte para cadeiras, no qual se avaliou o tempo para sentar e levantar, 25 o grupo de mulheres obe-sas e obesas sarcopênicas obteve um tempo maior, em razão do fato de que o tempo de deslocamento do corpo está atrelado à força que, por sua vez, é condicionada pela potência muscular e coordenação. A perda de força pode até ser maior do que o prejuízo de perda de massa, uma vez que ela depende do grau de utilização muscular, logo, elevadas quantidades de massa muscular podem estar sujeitas à não funcionalidade.…”

UNIMEP). Piracicaba/ SP -Brasil. Originais / Originals avaliação da composição corporal dos pacientes em ambulatório de nutrição Evaluation of the body composition of patients in a nutrition outpatient clinic Resumo A avaliação da composição corporal possibilita verificar desequilíbrios entre a quantidade de gordura e musculatura, quadro atrelado a alterações metabólicas. O objetivo do estudo foi considerar a composição corporal com enfoque para a massa muscular. Tratou-se de um estudo transversal, com indivíduos de 18 a 60 anos de idade. Aplicou-se o teste T-Student para amostras independentes para: idade, massa muscular (MM Kg), porcentagem de massa muscular (%MM), índice de massa muscular (IMM), circunferência da cintura (CC) e índice de massa corporal (IMC), e estratificados entre sarcopênicos e não sarcopênicos e a correlação linear de Pearson entre CC e IMC com variáveis de massa muscular. Os dados foram calculados pelo programa Stat versão 6.0 e o nível de significância adotado p <0,05. Averiguou-se uma média de idade de 34,08±9,5 anos, com predomínio de mulheres e 63,83% dos indivíduos praticavam exercício. Houve diferença significativa no comparativo entre gêneros para CC, MM, %MM e IMM e entre homens sarcopênicos e não sarcopênicos, a diferença foi significativa para idade, CC, MM (Kg), IMM e IMC. Foi verificada uma correlação negativa entre a CC com MM, % MM em homens, mulheres e para a amostra geral (p <0,05). Haja vista os resultados, há um comprometimento da musculatura esquelética em razão do excesso de peso corporal, sobretudo sarcopenia em homens, desencadeada em idades precoces. Palavras-chave: Composição corporal. Antropometria. Sarcopenia. Obesidade. Doenças crônicas.Abstract The evaluation of the body composition allows to verify imbalances between the amount of fat and musculature, a framework linked to metabolic alterations. The objective of the study was to evaluate the body composition with a focus on muscle mass. It was a cross-sectional study with individuals aged 18-60 years.The T-Student test was used for independent samples for age, muscle mass (MM Kg), percentage of muscle mass (% MM), muscle mass index (IMM), waist circumference (CC) and body mass index (IMC), and stratified between sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic, and Pearson's linear correlation between CC and IMC with muscle mass variables. The data were calculated by the Stat program version 6.0 and the level of significance adopted p <0,05. A mean age of 34,08 ± 9,5 years was found, with a predominance of women and 63.83% of the individuals practicing exercise. There was a significant difference between the genders for CC, MM, % MM and IMM and between sarcopenic and non sarcopenic men, the difference was significant for age, CC, MM (Kg), IMM and IMC. A negative correlation was found between CC with MM, MM% in men, women and for the general sample (p <0,05). Given the results, there is a compromise of the skeletal muscles due to excess body weight, especially sarcopenia in men, triggered at early ages.

“…62 Like sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity has been associated with functional and mobility limitations. [63][64][65] Sarcopenia obesity has also been associated with decreased resting metabolic rate, 66 insulin resistance, 67,68 and metabolic impairments. 69, 70 The association of sarcopenic obesity and all-cause mortality has also been reported.…”

Sarcopenia, characterized by a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that occurs with advancing age, has been associated with falls, fracture, disability, and mortality. Depending on the definitions used, the prevalence in 60-to 80-year old population is reported as 0.9%-35.9%, while the prevalence ranges from 7%-70.0% in people older than 80 years. Sarcopenia has been associated with lower quality of life. Well-designed exercise interventions, particularly resistance training as well as nutritional supplementation, have been proved to improve muscle strength and performance in geriatric populations. Resistance training may also enhance quality of life. However, there are limited data on the effects of nutritional supplementation as an intervention on quality of life among individuals with sarcopenia. This review briefly summarizes the relationship between sarcopenia and quality of life and presents the potential of interventions to improve muscle quality, physical performance, and quality of life.

SarcopeniaSarcopenia, defined as a geriatric syndrome characterized by a progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that occurs with advancing age, was first introduced by Rosenberg in 1989.1,2 The decline in muscle mass occurs after the age of 30 years.3,4 After the age of 50 years, muscle mass is reported to decline at an annual rate of approximately 0.2%; 5 after 70 years, the decline may accelerate to 0.6%-1% per year. [6][7][8] Over the past few decades, refining the definition of sarcopenia has led to significant variation in the meaning. Initially, the definition consists of the measurement of appendicular mass divided...
