Background & aim Adequate protein intake is essential during recovery from illness to prevent complications such as malnutrition, sarcopenia, and delayed wound healing. Mobile applications may support self-monitoring and early detection of inadequate intake. This study evaluated the concurrent validity …

Muscle health, encompassing muscle mass, composition, strength, physical performance and patient-reported outcomes, is a key determinant of clinical outcomes across the life course and a wide range of disease states. Despite growing recognition of its importance, muscle health remains insufficiently …

Background Progressive Resistance Training (PRT) and adequate dietary protein are crucial for preventing and managing sarcopenia and frailty in older adults. To date, the optimal intensity of PRT and the added value of dietary protein for enhancing muscle mass, strength, and physical performance in frail …

Background&aims Obesity and sarcopenia are major health concerns, particularly among older populations. Dietary protein may help preserve muscle mass and function, but high-protein diets, especially from animal sources, may also increase adipose mass. We investigated associations of total, animal, and …

Background & aims: Body composition and energy metabolism (BC and EM) assessments inform patients’ nutritional status and allow the identification, diagnosis, and management of core nutritional problems. However, a structured approach or care model for integrating these assessments into the nutrition …

Introduction: Mental health conditions are highly prevalent among adolescents, affecting one in seven individuals and accounting for 15% of the global disease burden in this age group. The promotion of health behaviours including physical activity, nutrition, and sleep, and reduction of sedentary behaviour, …

Background The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) introduced an approach for malnutrition diagnosis in 2019 comprised of screening followed by assessment of three phenotypic criteria: weight loss, low BMI, and low muscle mass, and two etiologic criteria: reduced food intake/assimilation, …

OBJECTIVE: This scoping review aimed to gather current knowledge on accurately identifying and distinguishing between non-frail, pre-frail, and frail older adults using gait and daily physical activity (DPA) parameters and/or models that combine gait with DPA parameters in both controlled and daily life …

Objectives: Sufficient protein intake is important for older adults to prevent sarcopenia. Better insight into dietary characteristics may be helpful to improve daily protein intake.Therefore, this study aimed to compare characteristics of community-dwelling older adults with distinct amounts of daily …
