An increased protein intake is required during aging to preserve muscle mass. A predominantly plant-based diet is beneficial for the climate and may lower the risk of certain non-communicable diseases, but could also lead to protein below recommendations. This study seeks to elucidate facilitators and …

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 …

Thesis which explores a Wingate variation that we developed together to better simulate athletes’ sport conditions characterised by repeated short bouts of high-intensity effort. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the interrelationship between Body Mass Index (BMI) and anaerobic performance using …

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a clinical condition defined by the coexistence of high body fat mass and low muscle function and mass, which increases the risk of adverse health outcomes, including disability and mortality. Early detection and frequent monitoring of SO are essential for preventive …

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 …

OBJECTIVES: Amplitude-mode (A-mode) ultrasonography is a promising technique to monitor loss and recovery of skeletal muscle in patients with burns. However, its clinimetric properties are unknown. Therefore, we determined its feasibility, interrater, and intrarater reliability, and clinical utility. …

OBJECTIVES:  To counteract sarcopenia in non-Western migrant older adults, lifestyle interventions with increased physical activity and adequate dietary protein intake are promising. However, regular community-based lifestyle interventions often lack a culture-sensitive approach. The aim of this study …

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, …

Background Standard care for older outpatients who are at risk of malnutrition in Indonesia is still based on the 2017’s recommendations of the Indonesian Geriatrics Society. and does not provide nutritional supplementation as recommended by ESPEN guidelines 2019/2022. Objective We compared the effects …
