Delirium and Delirium Severity Predict the Trajectory of the Hierarchical Assessment of Balance and Mobility in Hospitalized Older People: Findings From the DECIDE Study

Sarah Richardson, James Murray, Daniel Davis, Blossom C. M. Stephan, Louise Robinson, Carol Brayne, Linda Barnes, Stuart Parker, Avan A. Sayer, Richard M. Dodds, Louise Allan

Summary: Physical function is worse in elderly hospitalized patients with delirium compared to those without delirium. The severity of delirium is associated with a greater disturbance in physical function. Monitoring physical function may have clinical utility as a surrogate marker for delirium and its resolution.

Resistance exercise as a treatment for sarcopenia: prescription and delivery

Christopher Hurst, Sian M. Robinson, Miles D. Witham, Richard M. Dodds, Antoneta Granic, Charlotte Buckland, Sarah De Biase, Susanne Finnegan, Lynn Rochester, Dawn A. Skelton, Avan A. Sayer

Summary: Sarcopenia is a muscle disorder characterized by reduced strength and mass, with resistance exercise recommended as the primary treatment. However, evidence on its benefits for sarcopenic older adults is limited, and optimal prescription and delivery remain unclear. The proposed resistance exercise program for sarcopenia includes two sessions per week focusing on upper- and lower-body exercises with high effort, serving as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers.

Epigenome-wide association study of sarcopenia: findings from the Hertfordshire Sarcopenia Study (HSS)

Elie Antoun, Emma S. Garratt, Andrea Taddei, Mark A. Burton, Sheila J. Barton, Phil Titcombe, Leo D. Westbury, Alicia Baczynska, Eugenia Migliavacca, Jerome N. Feige, Holly E. Sydall, Elaine Dennison, Richard Dodds, Helen C. Roberts, Peter Richardson, Avan A. Sayer, Sarah Shaw, Cyrus Cooper, Joanna D. Holbrook, Harnish P. Patel, Keith M. Godfrey, Karen A. Lillycrop

Summary: This study found that differences in muscle methylome are associated with sarcopenia and individual measures of muscle mass, strength, and function in older individuals, suggesting that changes in epigenetic regulation of genes may contribute to impaired muscle function in later life.

Innovative plAnt Protein fibre and Physical activity solutions to address poor appEtite and prevenT undernutrITion in oldEr adults - APPETITE

Dorothee Volkert, Clare A. Corish, Dominique Dardevet, Giuseppe De Vito, Christelle Guillet, Stephanie Bader-Mittermaier, Sian Robinson, Helen M. Roche, Avan A. Sayer, Marjolein Visser

Summary: The APPETITE project aims to develop interventions to enhance protein and fiber intake in older adults with poor appetite, in order to address undernutrition. It will involve developing innovative plant-based protein and fiber products, examining their impact on metabolism, and conducting a randomized intervention trial to evaluate their effectiveness in improving quality of life for older Europeans.

Performance of the SarQoL quality of life tool in a UK population of older people with probable sarcopenia and implications for use in clinical trials: findings from the SarcNet registry

Miles D. Witham, Philip Heslop, Richard M. Dodds, Andrew P. Clegg, Suzy V. Hope, Claire McDonald, David Smithard, Bryony Storey, Ai Lyn Tan, Anna Thornhill, Avan A. Sayer

Summary: This study analyzed the performance of the Sarcopenia Quality of Life (SarQoL) questionnaire in older UK participants with probable sarcopenia and evaluated its suitability as a clinical trial outcome measure. The results showed that SarQoL had acceptable performance and responsiveness in this population, making it suitable for use in clinical trials for sarcopenia.

Milk intake across adulthood and muscle strength decline from mid- to late life: the MRC National Survey of Health and Development

Antoneta Granic, Rachel Cooper, Richard M. Dodds, Susan J. Hillman, Avan A. Sayer, Sian M. Robinson

Summary: Milk is a potential source of nutrients that may benefit skeletal muscle health. However, there is currently a lack of evidence linking milk intake with declines in muscle strength. More research is needed to explore the relationship between milk consumption and muscle health.

Advancing our understanding of skeletal muscle across the lifecourse: Protocol for the MASS_Lifecourse study and characteristics of the first 80 participants

R. M. Dodds, C. Hurst, S. J. Hillman, K. Davies, L. Roberts, T. J. Aspray, A. Granic, A. A. Sayer

Summary: Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass, which imposes a significant burden on affected individuals. However, there has been limited investigation of sarcopenia using experimental medicine techniques. The MASS_Lifecourse study aims to recruit 160 participants aged 45 to 85 years for detailed phenotyping of skeletal muscle health. The analysis of the characteristics of the first 80 participants showed that their grip strength was similar to the general population, and the findings from this study should contribute to improvements in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sarcopenia.

Rheumatoid sarcopenia: loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass in rheumatoid arthritis

Joshua. L. L. Bennett, Arthur. G. G. Pratt, Richard Dodds, Avan. A. A. Sayer, John. D. D. Isaacs

Summary: Sarcopenia, characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass, is commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis. This review discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and identification of rheumatoid sarcopenia, as well as the therapeutic roles of physical activity, nutrition, and pharmacotherapy. Rheumatoid sarcopenia is highly prevalent (>= 25%) in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis and is associated with increased risk of falls, fractures, and physical disability.

Development of a UK core dataset for geriatric medicine research: a position statement and results from a Delphi consensus process

Carly Welch, Daisy Wilson, Avan Sayer, Miles Witham, Thomas Jackson

Summary: This study used a modified Delphi process to establish standardised core and extended datasets for geriatric medicine research in the UK. Through three questionnaire rounds and a consensus meeting, 98 researchers provided input and agreed upon six core domains and additional variables to be included. The development and use of these datasets is expected to enhance collaboration between researchers and academic institutions.

Whole Muscle and Single Motor Unit Twitch Profiles in a Healthy Adult Cohort Assessed With Phase Contrast Motor Unit MRI (PC-MUMRI)

Matthew G. Birkbeck, Linda Heskamp, Ian S. Schofield, Julie Hall, Avan A. Sayer, Roger G. Whittaker, Andrew M. Blamire

Summary: This study used phase contrast MU MRI to measure the contraction and relaxation times of the anterior compartment in a group of healthy adults. The results showed that age and sex have a significant effect on the contraction and relaxation times. Females had significantly longer contraction times than males.

The prevalence of sarcopenia in Parkinson's disease and related disorders- a systematic review

Ashley Hart, Laura Cordova-Rivera, Fred Barker, Avan A. Sayer, Antoneta Granic, Alison J. Yarnall

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's related disorders, finding that probable and confirmed sarcopenia are common in these patients and may be associated with disease severity. Therefore, screening for sarcopenia in Parkinsonian populations is important.

Optimising the use of SARC-F for the identification of muscle weakness by considering alternative cut-points: findings from the Newcastle SarcScreen project

Mo Osman, Miles D. Witham, Avan A. Sayer, Rachel Cooper

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of different SARC-F cut-points for identifying muscle weakness in an older clinical population. A total of 159 men and 311 women aged 56-98 completed the SARC-F questionnaire and had their maximum grip strength measured. Cut-points of ≥4, 3, and 2 were applied to SARC-F and tested for agreement with muscle weakness.

Using pre-fracture mobility to augment prediction of post-operative outcomes in hip fracture

Thomas A. Stubbs, William J. Doherty, Andrew Chaplin, Sarah Langford, Mike R. Reed, Avan A. Sayer, Miles D. Witham, Antony K. Sorial

Summary: This study assessed the ability of pre-fracture mobility to predict post-operative outcomes in hip fracture patients. Patients with worse mobility had higher mortality, longer length of hospital stay, higher likelihood of living in a care home, and higher likelihood of complications. Including mobility assessment in risk scores can improve casemix adjustment and prognostication following hip fracture.
