Sarcopenic obesity: epidemiology, pathophysiology, cardiovascular disease, mortality, and management

Abstract: Sarcopenic obesity is defined as the coexistence of sarcopenia and obesity in the same individual, characterized by of the co-presence of body fat accumulation and muscle loss. This condition is currently a major concern as it is associated with frailty and disabilities such as cardiovascular disease, fractures, dementia, cancer, and increased all-cause mortality. Particularly, older individuals remain at risk of sarcopenic obesity. Progress at several levels is needed to improve the global prognostic outlook … Show more

“…17 This score did not include diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia and was expected to be able to evaluate frailty independently of MetS. The participants' frailty risks were categorized as low (score <5), intermediate (score [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], or high (score >15).…”

“…Obesity promotes low‐level inflammation, leading to insulin resistance and muscle catabolism, resulting in sarcopenia characterized by decreased muscle mass 10 . Sarcopenic obesity contributes to the risk of frailty and disability in ADLs and IADLs 11 . Moreover, recent meta‐analyses have clarified that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is significantly associated with frailty 12,13 .…”

“…Sarcopenia is defined as low skeletal muscle mass, whereas obesity is defined as high body fat percentage. [ 3 4 ] SO was first defined by Baumgartner as a muscle mass index less than 2 SD below the sex-specific reference for a young, healthy population. [ 5 ] SO is a major concern as it is associated with several adverse health outcomes, including frailty, physical disability, cardiovascular disease, fractures, dementia, cancer and increased all-cause mortality.…”
