The last several years have seen increasing interest in understanding cachexia, muscle
wasting, and physical frailty across the broad spectrum of patients with cardiovascular …

Frailty is a distinctive health state in which the ability of older people to cope with acute
stressors is compromised by an increased vulnerability brought by age-associated declines …

Interventions for stroke-related sarcopenia in patients with stroke are needed, but the details
of the target population are unclear. This systematic review aimed to identify trajectories of …

The elderly people are characterized by multiple comorbidities, dementia, and are at risk of
develo** sarcopenia and frailty. Sarcopenia is defined by loss of muscle mass and muscle …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether phase angle is an indicator of
malnutrition and sarcopenia in acute-phase stroke patients. Materials and Methods We …

Stroke recovery is a journey. Stroke survivors can face many consequences that may last the
rest of their lives. Assessment of initial impairments allows reasonable prediction of …

Objective Phase angle, an assessment of muscle quality, might be a possible predictor of
physical function in patients with an acute stroke; however, the evidence for the same is …

Background Muscle mass might be a possible predictor for walking function in patients with
stroke; however, evidence is limited. Objective To investigate whether skeletal muscle mass …

Background Pre-stroke sarcopenia associated with poor functional outcomes. However,
diagnosis of pre-stroke sarcopenia is often difficult in patients with acute stroke. Thus, we …

Objectives We aimed to investigate whether combination assessment of phase angle (PhA)
and skeletal muscle index (SMI), was a possible predictor of physical function at discharge …
