Bone disease in children with IBD seems to be secondary to muscle wasting, which is already present at diagnosis. With longer disease duration, bone adapts to the lower muscle CSA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In view of the comparable average figures for height and weight between subjects in the present study and the general population in Japan, the results of the present study could be extrapolated to the Japanese population as a whole. [journals.plos.org]

RESULTS: Patients were stratified according to the presence/absence of low muscle mass, low muscle strength or both conditions: 58 patients (54%) had low muscle mass, 57 (53%) low muscle strength while both conditions (true sarcopenia) was present in [academic.oup.com]

In the present study, we aimed to investigate specifically whether there is a relationship between the muscle reflex activation and abnormality in the skeletal muscle mass of the limbs of patients with CHF assessed by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. [circ.ahajournals.org]

    METHODS: In a cross-sectional study, pQCT of the forearm was applied in 143 IBD patients (mean age 13.9 /- 3.5 years); 29% were newly diagnosed, 98 had Crohn's disease, and 45 had ulcerative colitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS: Sarcopenia is a reliable marker of frailty and poor prognosis among elderly individuals. [academic.oup.com]

[…] atrophy results from a co-morbidity of several common diseases, including cancer, AIDS, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, renal failure, and severe burns ; patients who have " cachexia " in these disease settings have a poor prognosis [en.wikipedia.org]

Interventions specifically targeted at reversing peripheral muscle wasting such as exercise training have been shown to improve muscle function, 4 reduce ergoreflex activity, 1 and improve prognosis. 5 Nevertheless, there has been no direct evidence of [circ.ahajournals.org]

Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) are characteristically limited by symptoms of breathlessness and fatigue, the pathophysiology of which remains unclear. [circ.ahajournals.org]

The increased mortality risk was mainly accounted for by low muscle strength suggesting that assessments, and preventive and therapeutic interventions, targeting muscle strength deserve more attention in dialysis patients. [academic.oup.com]
