Background: As our global population ages, malnutrition and sarcopenia are increasingly prevalent. Given the multifactorial nature of these conditions, effective management of (risk of) malnutrition and sarcopenia necessitates interprofessional collaboration (IPC). This study aimed to understand primary …

Recente inzichten over vallen, valpreventie en de relatie met verlies van spierkracht en-massa (sarcopenie)

Bij sarcopenie zijn verschillende zorgprofessionals betrokken. Voor een optimale behandeling is goede samenwerking van belang. Hoe ga je interprofessioneel samenwerken. Tijdens deze lezing worden praktische handvaten gepresenteerd

Background: Although diagnosing and treating malnutrition, sarcopenia and underweight are recommended to be embedded and sustained within nutritional care, it is unknown if that is facilitated in geriatric rehabilitation. This study determined the proportion of geriatric rehabilitation inpatients with …

In het kader van samenwering tussen huisartsen en medisch specialisten van de regio Smallingerland is er een congres georganiseerd met het thema vallen bij ouderen

Background People with intellectual disabilities (ID) have a lower life expectancy than their peers without ID. A contributing factor to the lower life expectancy and early mortality could be sarcopenia: low muscle mass and low muscle function. In the general population, sarcopenia strongly predicts …

Introduction: The association between obesity and outcome in critical illness is unclear. Since the amount of visceral adipose tissue(VAT) rather than BMI mediates the health effects of obesity we aimed to investigate the association between visceral obesity, BMI and 90-day mortality in critically ill …

Objective This systematic review aims to reevaluate the role of minerals on muscle mass, muscle strength, physical performance, and the prevalence of sarcopenia in community-dwelling and institutionalized older adults. Design Systematic review. Setting and Participants In March 2022, a systematic search …

Bij het revalideren van mensen in de (geriatrische) revalidatie wordt de relatie tussen goede voeding en gezond bewegen steeds meer onderkend. Afbraak van spierweefsel (sarcopenie) ligt na een CVA, amputatie of operatie op de loer, resulterend in o.a. verminderde spierkracht, verminderde loopsnelheid …

Rationale: In order to optimize training effects for prevention of sarcopenia and frailty in community dwelling older adults a higher daily protein intake is required. To increase total daily protein intake to optimal levels (minimal 1.2 g/kg/d, optimal 1.5 g/kg/d) during a resistance exercise training …
