Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is defined as the combination of excess fat mass (obesity) and low skeletal muscle mass and function (sarcopenia). The identification and classification of factors related to SO would favor better prevention and diagnosis. The present article aimed to (i) define a list of factors related with SO based on literature analysis, (ii) identify clinical conditions linked with SO development from literature search and (iii) evaluate their relevance and the potential research gaps by consulting an expert panel. From 4746 articles screened, 240 articles were selected for extraction of the factors associated with SO. Factors were classified according to their frequency in the literature. Clinical conditions were also recorded. Then, they were evaluated by a panel of expert for evaluation of their relevance in SO development. Experts also suggested additional factors. Thirty-nine unique factors were extracted from the papers and additional eleven factors suggested by a panel of experts in the SO field. The frequency in the literature showed insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, lack of exercise training, inflammation and hypertension as the most frequent factors associated with SO whereas experts ranked low spontaneous physical activity, protein and energy intakes, low exercise training and aging as the most important. Although literature and expert panel presented some differences, this first list of associated factors could help to identify patients at risk of SO. Further work is needed to confirm the contribution of factors associated with SO among the population overtime or in randomized controlled trials to demonstrate causality.

BACKGROUND & AIM: Dysfunction of skeletal muscle satellite cells might impair muscle regeneration and prolong ICU-acquired weakness, a condition associated with disability and delayed death. This study aimed to elucidate the distinct metabolic effects of critical illness and β-OH-butyrate on satellite cells isolated from these patients. METHODS: Satellite cells were extracted from vastus lateralis muscle biopsies of patients with ICU-acquired weakness (n = 10) and control group of healthy volunteers or patients undergoing elective hip replacement surgery (n = 10). The cells were exposed to standard culture media supplemented with β-OH-butyrate to assess its influence on cell proliferation by ELISA, mitochondrial functions by extracellular flux analysis, electron transport chain complexes by high resolution respirometry, and ROS production by confocal microscopy. RESULTS: Critical illness led to a decline in maximal respiratory capacity, ATP production and glycolytic capacity and increased ROS production in ICU patients' cells. Notably, the function of complex II was impaired due to critical illness but restored to normal levels upon exposure to β-OH-butyrate. While β-OH-butyrate significantly reduced ROS production in both control and ICU groups, it had no significant impact on global mitochondrial functions. CONCLUSION: Critical illness induces measurable bioenergetic dysfunction of skeletal muscle satellite cells. β-OH-butyrate displayed a potential in rectifying complex II dysfunction caused by critical illness and this warrants further exploration.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Prehabilitation comprises multidisciplinary preoperative interventions including exercise, nutritional optimisation and psychological preparation aimed at improving surgical outcomes. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the impact of prehabilitation on postoperative outcomes in frail and high-risk patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. METHODS: Embase, Medline, CINAHAL and Cochrane databases were searched from January 2010 to January 2023 for randomised clinical trials (RCTs) and observational studies evaluating unimodal (exercise) or multimodal prehabilitation programmes. Meta-analysis was limited to length of stay (primary end point), severe postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo Classification ≥ Grade 3) and the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). The analysis was performed using RevMan v5.4 software. RESULTS: Sixteen studies (6 RCTs, 10 observational) reporting on 3339 patients (1468 prehabilitation group, 1871 control group) were included. The median (interquartile range) age was 74.0 (71.0-78.4) years. Multimodal prehabilitation was applied in fifteen studies and unimodal in one. Meta-analysis of nine studies showed a reduction in hospital length of stay (weighted mean difference -1.07 days, 95 % CI -1.60 to -0.53 days, P < 0.0001, I2 = 19 %). Ten studies addressed severe complications and a meta-analysis suggested a decline in occurrence by up to 44 % (odds ratio 0.56, 95 % CI 0.37 to 0.82, P < 0.004, I2 = 51 %). Four studies provided data on preoperative 6MWT. The pooled weighted mean difference was 40.1 m (95 % CI 32.7 to 47.6 m, P < 0.00001, I2 = 24 %), favouring prehabilitation. CONCLUSION: Given the significant impact on shortening length of stay and reducing severe complications, prehabilitation should be encouraged in frail, older and high-risk adult patients undergoing major abdominal surgery.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Whether the intake of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, is beneficial for ovarian cancer (OC) remains controversial and we hope to disentangle this puzzle using genetic data from large-scale populations in European and Asian. METHODS: We employed, for the first time, a systematic Mendelian randomization (MR) design to comprehensively evaluate the causal effect of plasma DHA levels, an objective biomarker of DHA intake, on OC risk in European and then verified the extrapolation of the results in the Asian. Data in the analysis included genetic association data obtained from large-scale genome-wide association studies with 13,499 individuals for plasma DHA measurements and 66,450 individuals for OC in the European population, and 1361 individuals for plasma DHA measurements and 61,457 individuals for OC in the Asian population. The causal relationship between DHA and OC was estimated using the inverse-variance weighted approach, together with extensive validation and sensitivity analyses to verify the main results. RESULTS: In the European population, MR evidence suggested a causal relationship between higher plasma DHA levels and lower OC risk (OR, 0.89 for OC per one-SD increment in DHA; 95% CI, 0.83 to 0.96; P = 0.003). Subgroup analysis by histological type of OC indicated that this observed association was stronger among endometrioid ovarian cancer (EOC) (OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.69 to 0.96; P = 0.014). A similar causal association of borderline significance was reached in the Asian replication set. The above results were consistently supported by a series of validation and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION: Our study provided robust genetic evidence for a protective association between plasma DHA levels and lower risk of OC, especially EOC, in the European population. These findings may inform prevention strategies and interventions directed towards DHA intake and OC.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Vitamin B6 status and mortality risk are inversely associated in different patient groups, while prospective studies in the general population are lacking. Here, for the first time, we evaluated the association between biomarkers of vitamin B6 status and mortality risk in a large population-based study. METHODS: The vitamin B6 vitamers pyridoxal-5'-phosphat (PLP) and 4-pyridoxic acid (4-PA) were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2010. Participants' vital status and causes of death were recorded until December 2015. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were carried out to estimate Hazard Ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of mortality across quintiles of PLP, 4-PA, and the ratio of 4-PA and PLP. RESULTS: Out of 15,304 study participants aged between 20 and 85 years at baseline, 1666 (7.7%) died during a median follow-up time of 7.8 years. An inverse association between PLP and mortality was found in a multivariable model adjusted for socioeconomic and lifestyle factors but became statistically non-significant upon adjustment for routine biomarkers (C-reactive protein, creatinine, albumin, and alkaline phosphatase). There was a significant linear trend for a positive association between 4-PA levels and mortality risk in the fully adjusted regression model, although a comparison of extreme quintiles (quintile 5 vs. quintile 1) did not show a significant difference (HRQ5vs.Q1 (95% CI): 1.19 (0.93, 1.51), plinear trend = 0.02). A positive association between the 4-PA/PLP ratio and all-cause mortality was observed in the multivariable model, with an HRsQ5vs.Q1 of 1.45 (95% CI: 1.14, 1.85; plinear trend<0.0001). There were no significant associations between the biomarkers and cardiovascular or cancer mortality. The association between 4-PA/PLP and mortality risk was heterogeneous across age groups, and only statistically significant among participants older than 65 years at baseline (HRQ5vs.Q1 (95% CI): 1.72 (1.29, 2.29), plinear trend<0.0001). In this group, 4-PA/PLP was also associated with cancer mortality, with an HR Q5vs.Q1 of 2.16 (1.20, 3.90), plinear trend = 0.02). CONCLUSION: Increased vitamin B6 turnover, as indicated by a higher 4-PA/PLP ratio, was associated with all-cause and cancer mortality among the older U.S. general population. Intervention trials are needed to assess whether older individuals with a high 4-PA/PLP ratio would benefit from increased vitamin B6 intake.

BACKGROUND: Malnutrition and dehydration are widespread in older people, and obesity is an increasing problem. In clinical practice, it is often unclear which strategies are suitable and effective in counteracting these key health threats. AIM: To provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical nutrition and hydration in older persons in order to prevent and/or treat malnutrition and dehydration. Further, to address whether weight-reducing interventions are appropriate for overweight or obese older persons. METHODS: This guideline was developed according to the standard operating procedure for ESPEN guidelines and consensus papers. A systematic literature search for systematic reviews and primary studies was performed based on 33 clinical questions in PICO format. Existing evidence was graded according to the SIGN grading system. Recommendations were developed and agreed in a multistage consensus process. RESULTS: We provide eighty-two evidence-based recommendations for nutritional care in older persons, covering four main topics: Basic questions and general principles, recommendations for older persons with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition, recommendations for older patients with specific diseases, and recommendations to prevent, identify and treat dehydration. Overall, we recommend that all older persons shall routinely be screened for malnutrition in order to identify an existing risk early. Oral nutrition can be supported by nursing interventions, education, nutritional counselling, food modification and oral nutritional supplements. Enteral nutrition should be initiated if oral, and parenteral if enteral nutrition is insufficient or impossible and the general prognosis is altogether favorable. Dietary restrictions should generally be avoided, and weight-reducing diets shall only be considered in obese older persons with weight-related health problems and combined with physical exercise. All older persons should be considered to be at risk of low-intake dehydration and encouraged to consume adequate amounts of drinks. Generally, interventions shall be individualized, comprehensive and part of a multimodal and multidisciplinary team approach. CONCLUSION: A range of effective interventions is available to support adequate nutrition and hydration in older persons in order to maintain or improve nutritional status and improve clinical course and quality of life. These interventions should be implemented in clinical practice and routinely used.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hypophosphatemia (HypoP) is associated with organ dysfunction and mortality. Despite its potential severe consequences, HypoP remains poorly characterized in terms of real prevalence and timing of onset. The primary objective was to determine the prevalence of HypoP defined as blood phosphate <0.8 and < 0.65 mmol/l on one particular day at international level. METHODS: One-day point prevalence survey conducted by the Section of Metabolism, Endocrinology and Nutrition (MEN) of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) during week 11-2020. RESULTS: In total, 56 adult and 4 paediatric ICUs, from 22 countries participated: 41 ICUs were mixed medico surgical, the 19 others being cardiac, medical or surgical. Phosphate measurements were performed daily in 21 ICUs, and 1-3 times per week in 39 ICUs. On D-Day 909 patients (883 adults) were present and 668/883 (75.7%) had serum/plasma phosphate determined, revealing a HypoP in 103 (15.4%) patients aged 62 [18 to 85] years. Of those, 49 patients presented phosphate <0.65 mmol/l: cases of hypophosphatemia were detected at any time of patient's ICU stay. No HypoP was observed in children. A treatment protocol existed only in 41.1% of adult ICUs, independently of ICU type, or size. Only 41/98 of the HypoP patients (29/41 of patients with phosphate <0.65 mmol/l) were receiving phosphate. CONCLUSION: HypoP is present at least in 15.4% of ICU patients, and may occur at any time during the ICU stay. The absence of phosphate repletion protocols in 60% of participating ICUs is an unexpected finding, and confirms the necessity for the development of ICU phosphate protocols and guidelines. CLINICALTRIALS IDENTIFIER: NCT04201899.
