Skeletal muscle loss: cachexia, sarcopenia, and inactivity.
Loss of skeletal muscle mass occurs during aging (sarcopenia), disease (cachexia), or inactivity (atrophy). This article contrasts and compares the metabolic causes of loss of muscle resulting from these conditions. An understanding of the underlying causes of muscle loss is critical for the development of strategies and therapies to preserve muscle mass and function. Loss of skeletal muscle pr...
متن کاملMoving on up: the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
As the editors of the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle (JCSM), we are proud to announce that the journal has maintained its impact factor, which has now been published by Thomson Scientific as 7.3, placing it number 9 in the ranking of all journals in the field ‘Medicine, General and Internal’ (Table 1) and number 3 among all nutrition journals, among which, however, JCSM is not offfi...
متن کاملConference on ‘Nutrition and age-related muscle loss, sarcopenia and cachexia’ Symposium 2: Mechanisms for loss of muscle mass, strength and clinical measurement of malnutrition and cachexia The wasting continuum in heart failure: from sarcopenia to cachexia
Sarcopenia (muscle wasting) and cachexia share some pathophysiological aspects. Sarcopenia affects approximately 20 %, cachexia <10 % of ambulatory patients with heart failure (HF). Whilst sarcopenia means loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength that predominantly affects postural rather than non-postural muscles, cachexia means loss of muscle and fat tissue that leads to weight loss. The was...
متن کاملResearch on cachexia, sarcopenia and skeletal muscle in cardiology
BACKGROUND The awareness of cardiac cachexia, i.e. involuntary weight loss in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease, has increased over the last two decades. METHODS AND RESULTS This mini-review looks at recent research in the cardiovascular literature that is relevant to the areas of interest of the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle. It identifies significant research in t...
متن کاملIs there a relation between pre-sarcopenia, sarcopenia, cachexia and osteoporosis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis?
BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is a well-known complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). However, data about body composition modifications and muscle performance showed conflicting results. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of pre-sarcopenia, sarcopenia and cachexia in patients with AS and analyze its relationship with bone loss and symptomatic and severity para...
