Four body composition phenotypes exist in older adults: normal, sarcopenic, obese, and a combination of sarcopenic and obese. There is no consensus, however, on the definitions and classifications of these phenotypes and their etiology and consequences continue to be debated. The lack of standard definitions, particularly for sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity, creates challenges for determining prevalence across different populations. The etiology of these phenotypes is multifactorial with complex covariate relationships. This review focuses on the current literature addressing the classification, prevalence, etiology, and correlates of sarcopenia, obesity, and the combination of sarcopenia and obesity, referred to as sarcopenic obesity. 相似文献

BackgroundThe prognostic significance of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO) among older people remains controversial. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the mortality risk of sarcopenia and SO among men aged 75 years and older in Taiwan.MethodsThis prospective cohort study recruited all residents of the Banciao Veterans Home, a veterans retirement community in Taipei City in northern Taiwan. For all study participants, the demographic profile, comorbid medical conditions, biochemical markers, handgrip strength and gait speed, sarcopenia, SO, and all-cause mortality were collected during a 3-year follow-up period.ResultsIn the study, 680 residents participated. The prevalence of sarcopenia and SO was 60.3% and 19.7%, respectively. During the study period, 140 (20.6%) deaths were identified. The diseased individuals were older, more prone to having diabetes mellitus and sarcopenia, had lower serum levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, but had no difference in SO. Comparisons between different statuses of SO showed that age; diabetes mellitus; metabolic syndrome; body mass index; waist circumference; handgrip strength; gait speed; systolic blood pressure; fasting plasma glucose; serum levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein; and mortality were all significantly different between the groups. Sarcopenia [odds ratio (OR), 2.64; 95% confidence interval (C.I.), 1.687–4.135; p < 0.001], diabetes mellitus (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.083–2.267; p = 0.021) were independent risk factors for mortality; whereas the serum level of triglyceride was protective (OR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.989–0.997; p = 0.001). The Cox proportional hazard model confirmed that sarcopenia was significantly associated with mortality with or without obesity.ConclusionThe mortality risk of sarcopenia significantly outweighed the survival benefits of obesity in old age. The unfavorable impact of SO may eventually result from sarcopenia, but not obesity. 相似文献

The diagnosis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease is based on the detection of liver steatosis together with the presence of metabolic dysfunction. According to this new definition, the diagnosis of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease is independent of the amount of alcohol consumed. Actually, alcohol and its metabolites have various effects on metabolic-associated abnormalities during the process of alcohol metabolism. Studies have shown improved metabolic function in light to moderate alcohol drinkers. There are several studies focusing on the role of light to moderate alcohol intake on metabolic dysfunction. However, the results from studies are diverse, and the conclusions are often controversial. This review systematically discusses the effects of alcohol consumption, focusing on light to moderate alcohol consumption, obesity, lipid and glucose metabolism, and blood pressure. 相似文献

Obesity has become an epidemic worldwide. It is accompanied by a multitude of medical complications including metabolic syndrome.
Obesity may lead to fatty infiltration of multiple internal organs including liver, heart, kidney, and pancreas, causing organ
dysfunctions. Fatty infiltration leads to chronic inflammation and tissue damage. Fatty infiltration in the liver results
in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which is increasingly common nowadays. Recent studies in animals and humans indicate
that obesity also is associated with fatty infiltration of gallbladder, resulting in cholecystosteatosis. The increased gallbladder
lipids include free fatty acids, phospholipids, and triglycerides. Enhanced inflammation with an increased amount of fat in
the gallbladder results in an abnormal wall structure and decreased contractility. In support of this notion, a recent experiment
on the effect of Ezetimibe, which is a novel drug that inhibits intestinal fat absorption, on fatty gallbladder disease reveals
that Ezetimibe can ameliorate cholecystosteatosis and restore in vivo gallbladder contractility. The proportion of cholecystectomies
performed for chronic acalculous cholecystitis has increased significantly over the past two decades. An increase in gallbladder
fat, which leads to poor gallbladder emptying and biliary symptoms, may partly explain this phenomenon. Although dietary carbohydrates
have been demonstrated to be associated with fatty gallbladder disease, other potential modifiable environmental factors are
not clear. The pathogenesis and prognosis of fatty gallbladder disease, including steatocholecystitis, and the relations of
fatty gallbladder disease to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, including steatohepatitis, and other components of metabolic
syndrome are largely unknown. More research is needed to answer these questions. 相似文献
