Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between blood and urine cadmium levels and muscle strength. The study found that there was a linear dose-response relationship between cadmium concentrations in blood and urine and muscle strength, with lower levels of cadmium associated with decreased muscle strength. This association was more evident among male participants.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between blood and urine cadmium levels and muscle strength, finding a dose-response relationship between cadmium concentrations and decreased muscle strength, particularly in men. Further longitudinal investigations are needed to fully understand this issue.

Summary: This scoping review aimed to map out definitions and assessment methods of muscle quality in older adults. A total of 96 articles were included, revealing a substantial heterogeneity of definitions and assessment methods across functional and morphological domains. Standardizing the definition of muscle quality may help utilize it as a potential marker of skeletal muscle health in older adults.

Summary: There is a correlation between the personal perception of physical performance and the presence of sarcopenia. Individuals who perceive difficulty in walking 400 m have a higher risk of sarcopenia.

Summary: The research reveals that low-grade systemic inflammation and diets with pro-inflammatory properties contribute to muscle degeneration in older adults, leading to loss of muscle mass, strength, and function.

Summary: Aging is associated with decreased muscle strength and increased reactive oxygen species. This cross-sectional study found that serum levels of alpha-carotene were positively associated with muscle strength in older adults, while other antioxidants were not. This suggests that alpha-carotene may have a beneficial effect on muscle strength in aging individuals.

Summary: The study findings suggest that vitamin D-3 supplementation does not significantly affect muscular responses to resistance training in older adults with or without COPD.

Summary: The study found significant associations between moderate and impaired vision, hearing, and low handgrip strength. The more severe the sensory function decline, the higher the association with muscle weakness. Additionally, there were strong additive interactions between combined sensory impairments and deteriorating low handgrip strength.

Summary: The study aimed to examine the relationship between adherence to specific exercise modalities and the severity of sarcopenia in older adults in Italy. The data was collected as part of the Longevity Check-Up 7+ (Lookup 7+) project. The results showed that engagement in running and/or swimming and strength training with or without stretching had a positive impact on reducing the severity of sarcopenia in older adults.

Summary: This study compared the protein expression profiles between older adults with preserved and low muscle strength, and found differences in catabolic, mitochondrial, stress-related, and myogenic pathways. The increased stress factors in the low muscle strength group may reflect the deterioration of tissue homeostasis, while the upregulation of myogenic markers in this group may be an attempt to compensate for the gradual loss in muscle quantity and quality.

Summary: Sarcopenia is a crucial age-related issue that increases the risk for falls, injuries, and fractures. Research suggests that creatine monohydrate supplementation, particularly in conjunction with resistance training, has positive effects on aging muscle and bone, providing a potential intervention for treating frailty and cachexia.

Summary: The study found that both mild and moderate/severe levels of depression/anxiety in 2018 were associated with significantly higher risks of difficulty managing medication in 2019. Decreased symptoms of depression/anxiety were linked to lower risk of medication self-management difficulty, while increased symptoms were associated with higher risk. Healthcare providers should assess medication management problems and provide tailored interventions for older adults with depression and anxiety symptoms.

Summary: This scoping review examines exercise-induced muscle damage and recovery from resistance exercise in older adults. The study finds inconsistency in findings and a lack of research on gender differences and biological markers. Further research is needed to provide clear recommendations for resistance exercise in older adults.
