Deprescribing may support muscle recovery after stroke. In older patients with sarcopenia, reducing unnecessary medications during rehabilitation was associated with better handgrip strength and higher muscle mass at discharge. doi.org/10.1248/bpb.b2… #IARN #RehabNutrition

Ultra-processed foods are increasingly linked to cardiovascular risk. The new ESC consensus highlights associations with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, CKD, CVD, and CV mortality — and calls for UPF assessment in routine cardiology care. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti… #IARN #UPF

Secondary prevention after coronary artery bypass Graft (CABG) surgery is critical but underutilized and has major public health implications. Despite the durability of CABG, coronary artery disease progresses postoperatively, and suboptimal implementation of these strategies is associated with higher mortality. ✍🏼 @RuelMarc1 📷 Main areas of secondary prevention after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.

In >1.2 million nursing home residents, frailty was associated with a ~4-fold higher risk of dysphagia, and hospitalization further increased new-onset dysphagia risk. Early screening may help identify vulnerable patients. jamda.com/article/S1525-… #IARN #Dysphagia #Frailty

Sarcopenic obesity is associated with poorer respiratory function. Meta-analysis (n=173,677) showed lower FVC and FEV1, especially when obesity was defined by fat mass % rather than BMI. → Respiratory assessment may help identify high-risk patients. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42101359/

Cancer prognosis may depend more on muscle Low handgrip strength and ≥10% weight loss predicted mortality better than CT-based muscle mass in 477 cancer patients. Muscle function may matter more than muscle mass alone. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc… #IARN #RehabNutrition #Cancer

Poor appetite affects 15–30% of community-dwelling older adults and is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. ＃IARN ＃RehabNutrition pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38297212/

New ESPEN-Endorsed Recommendation Published We are pleased to share a new open access ESPEN-endorsed recommendation published in Clinical Nutrition: “Sarcopenic obesity: Call to action and nutritional agenda from the international clinical nutrition community” Sarcopenic obesity, defined as obesity with low skeletal muscle function and mass, is increasingly recognized as an important clinical nutrition priority. This international statement highlights the need for coordinated action in research, education and clinical practice, with a strong focus on diagnosis, prevention, nutritional care and multimodal treatment approaches. The publication also emphasizes the key role of nutrition and exercise in reducing the burden of sarcopenic obesity and improving outcomes for people living with obesity worldwide.

About one in three community-dwelling older adults has oral frailty, with prevalence varying by country and assessment tool, and its links to malnutrition, sarcopenia, and falls highlight the need for early screening and prevention.　#IARN #RehabNutrition pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41175710/

GLIM malnutrition is associated with reduced handgrip strength and slower walking speed, but is not independently associated with frailty or sarcopenia.　＃IARN ＃RehabNutrition pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40790463/

Positive psychology interventions for depression improve happiness, positive emotions, and well-being, but show no significant difference in depression severity. #IARN #RehabNutrition pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42030477/

Among cancer patients, grip strength and a weight loss rate of 10% or more were stronger predictors of survival than muscle mass or muscle composition. #IARN #RehabNutrition onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jc…

Muscle weakness in Barth syndrome may not be what we think. This study shows that neuromuscular disruption and fibre changes, not just energy deficits, play a key role in muscle dysfunction.

Changes in masseter muscle thickness in patients following cerebral hemorrhage surgery are a risk factor for dysphagia. This suggests a link between sarcopenia and dysphagia in cerebral hemorrhage. #IARN #RehabNutrition pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42036464/

Patients hospitalized for pneumonia are more likely to achieve oral intake (FOIS score of 4 or higher) if they get out of bed early. Oral intake is particularly poor if they remain in bed for 10 days or more. #IARN #RehabNutrition mdpi.com/2075-1729/16/4…
