Abstract Objective We determined the prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in patients with RA using multiple methods and assessed associations with physical functioning. Methods This study evaluated data from three RA cohorts. Whole-body dual-energy absorptiometry (DXA) measures of appendicular lean mass index (ALMI, kg/m2) and fat mass index (FMI) were converted to age, sex and race-specific Z-Scores and categorized using a recently validated method and compared it to a widely-used existing method. The prevalence of body composition abnormalities in RA was compared with two reference populations. In the RA cohorts, associations between body composition and change in the HAQ and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) in follow-up were assessed using linear and logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, race and study. Results The prevalence of low lean mass and sarcopenic obesity was higher in patients with RA (14.2; 12.6%, respectively) compared with the reference population cohorts (7–10%; 4–4.5%, respectively, all P <0.05). There was only moderate agreement among methods of sarcopenic obesity categorization (Kappa 0.45). The recently validated method categorized fewer subjects as obese, and many of these were categorized as low lean mass only. Low lean mass, obesity and sarcopenic obesity were each associated with higher HAQ and lower SPPB at baseline and numerically greater worsening. Conclusion RA patients had higher rates of low lean mass and sarcopenic obesity than the general population. The recently validated methods characterized body composition changes differently from traditional methods and were more strongly associated with physical function.

Purpose. The present study examined the progressive implementation of a high effort resistance training (RT) approach in older adults over 6 months and through a 6-month follow-up on strength, body composition, function, and wellbeing of older adults.Methods. Twenty-three older adults (aged 61 to 80 years) completed a 6-month supervised RT intervention applying progressive introduction of higher effort set end points. After completion of the intervention participants could choose to continue performing RT unsupervised until 6-month follow-up.Results. Strength, body composition, function, and wellbeing all significantly improved over the intervention. Over the follow-up, body composition changes reverted to baseline values, strength was reduced though it remained significantly higher than baseline, and wellbeing outcomes were mostly maintained. Comparisons over the follow-up between those who did and those who did not continue with RT revealed no significant differences for changes in any outcome measure.Conclusions. Supervised RT employing progressive application of high effort set end points is well tolerated and effective in improving strength, body composition, function, and wellbeing in older adults. However, whether participants continued, or did not, with RT unsupervised at follow-up had no effect on outcomes perhaps due to reduced effort employed during unsupervised RT.

Abstract Background It has been a long-standing clinical concern that haemodialysis (HD) patients on afternoon shifts (ASs) are more prone to protein-energy wasting (PEW) than those on morning shifts (MSs), as their dialysis scheme and post-dialysis symptoms may interfere with meal intake. We evaluated the effect of time of day of HD on the evolution of body composition changes and PEW surrogates. Methods We conducted a retrospective study among 9.963 incident HD patients treated in NephroCare centres (2011–16); data were routinely collected in the European Clinical Database. The course of multi-frequency bioimpedance determined lean and fat tissue indices (LTI and FTI) between patients in MSs/ASs over 2 years were compared with linear mixed models. Secondary PEW indicators were body mass index, albumin, creatinine index and normalized protein catabolic rate. Models included fixed (age, sex, vascular access and diabetes mellitus) and random effects (country and patient). Results Mean baseline LTI and FTI were comparable between MSs (LTI: 12.5 ± 2.9 kg/m2 and FTI: 13.7 ± 6.0 kg/m2) and ASs (LTI: 12.4 ± 2.9 kg/m2 and FTI: 13.2 ± 6.1 kg/m2). During follow-up, LTI decreased and FTI increased similarly, with a mean absolute change (baseline to 24 months) of −0.3 kg/m2 for LTI and +1.0 kg/m2 for FTI. The course of these malnutrition indicators did not differ between dialysis shifts (P for interaction ≥0.10). We also did not observe differences between groups for secondary PEW indicators. Conclusions This study suggests that a dialysis shift in the morning or in the afternoon does not impact the long-term nutritional status of HD patients. Regardless of time of day of HD, patients progressively lose muscle mass and increase body fat.

Introduction: Obesity is linked with heightened vulnerability to cardiovascular diseases including hypertension. Nonetheless, mechanistic studies addressing the effects of experimental weight gain on blood pressure are lacking. We sought to examine whether experimental weight gain raises ambulatory blood pressure in healthy individuals and identify any relationship between changes in blood pressure and changes in regional fat distribution. Methods: Twenty-six normal weight subjects were randomized to a 8-week period of weight gain through overfeeding (N=16; age 30.4±6.6 years, BMI 23.5±3.5 kg/m 2 ) or weight maintenance (N=10; age 27.1±7.7 years, BMI 23.6±2.7 kg/m 2 ). Measurements of body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and abdominal computed tomographic scans and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were obtained at baseline and at follow-up. Results: Overfeeding resulted in an increase in body weight of 3.7±1.5 kg ( p <0.001) in weight gainers, with increments seen in total (21994±8247.4 to 25180.7±8563.1 gr, p <0.001), visceral (61.6±32.7 to 75.5±30.9 cm 2 , p =0.002) and subcutaneous fat (135.5±77.4 to 167.9±82.9 cm 2 , p <0.001). No changes occurred in the maintenance group. Weight gainers exhibited an increase in 24-h systolic blood pressure at follow-up (113.7±8 to 117.7±7.9 mmHg, p =0.009) and mean blood pressure (MAP) (85.1±4.9 to 86.8±5.1 mmHg, p =0.02), while blood pressure was unchanged in controls. Changes in MAP were positively correlated only with changes in visceral fat (rho=0.452, p =0.02) but not with changes in weight or any other body composition measure. Conclusion: Modest weight gain leads to marked elevation in 24-h blood pressure in lean healthy subjects. The association between increased MAP and abdominal visceral fat accumulation suggests that visceral deposition of adipose tissue may contribute specifically and mechanistically to the enhanced risk of hypertension associated with weight gain.
