skeletal muscle indexsurgeryBackground: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) for major postoperative morbidity in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and intestinal surgery at a tertiary referral center. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the ...
Ageing involves significant changes in skeletal muscle mass and its functioning. This study aimed to identify the major nutrient patterns (NPs) present in a sample of adult Polish women and evaluate their associations with the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI). A cross-sectional study initially recr...
Significant differences in the BMD, FMI, SMI, mineral content, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle mass were found among the RA patients in the different BMI groups (p < 0.05). In RA patients with BMI < 18.5 kg/m2, the prevalence of OP in the RA patients with sarcopenia ...

Introduction: To determine the prevalence of low muscle mass (LMM) and the relationship between LMM with functional and nutritional status as defined using the LMM evaluation method of European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) criteria among male residents in a nursing home....
We have previously reported that the creatinine (Cre) to cystatin C (CysC) ratio is associated with height-adjusted skeletal muscle mass index (SMI). However, weight-adjusted SMI is reported to be a more useful marker of insulin sensitivity than height-adjusted SMI. Thus, we hypothesized that...
Methods: For each patient included in the study, muscle mass and density were estimated using skeletal muscle index (SMI) and mean skeletal muscle radiation attenuation (SMRA), respectively. SMI and SMRA were computed at L3 level using the whole-body scan (WBS) performed at the diagnosis of ...
The role of skeletal muscle index (SMI) and systemic inflammation index (SII) for patients with lymph node-positive breast cancer remain controversial. This retrospective study aims to evaluate the individual and synergistic value of SMI and SII in outco
The diagnosis of sarcopenia is based on the loss of muscle strength and skeletal muscle mass or physical performance2,3,4,9. Grip strength is used as an indicator of muscle strength, and computed tomography (CT), a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry ...
Sarcopenia, which is characterized by the loss of muscle mass and reduced strength, is an emerging challenge in the elderly population. A lower skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) value was found to be closely associated with worse adverse outcomes in patients with CAD (Kang et al., 2019; Kou...
