Skeletal muscle mass and distribution in 468 men and women aged 18–88 yr
TLDR
It is indicated that men have more SM than women and that these gender differences are greater in the upper body.Abstract:
We employed a whole body magnetic resonance imaging protocol to examine the influence of age, gender, body weight, and height on skeletal muscle (SM) mass and distribution in a large and heterogene...read more

Seiichi Matsuo,Enyu Imai,Masaru Horio,Yoshinari Yasuda,Kimio Tomita,Kosaku Nitta,Kunihiro Yamagata,Yasuhiko Tomino,Hitoshi Yokoyama,Akira Hishida +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the modified isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS)-traceable 4-variable modified modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for Japanese patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low relative skeletal muscle mass (sarcopenia) in older persons is associated with functional impairment and physical disability.
TL;DR: To establish the prevalence of sarc Openia in older Americans and to test the hypothesis that sarcopenia is related to functional impairment and physical disability in older persons is established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Invited review: Aging and sarcopenia.
TL;DR: The link between sarc Openia and disability among elderly men and women highlights the need for continued research into the development of the most effective interventions to prevent or at least partially reverse sarcopenia, including the role of resistance exercise and other novel pharmacological and nutritional interventions.

Age-associated changes in skeletal muscles and their effect on mobility: an operational diagnosis of sarcopenia
Fulvio Lauretani,Cosimo Roberto Russo,Stefania Bandinelli,Benedetta Bartali,Chiara Cavazzini,Angelo Di Iorio,Anna Maria Corsi,Taina Rantanen,Jack M. Guralnik,Luigi Ferrucci +9 more
TL;DR: Optimal cutoff values that can be used in the clinical practice to identify older persons with poor mobility were developed and lay the basis for a cost-effective, clinical marker of sarcopenia based on a measure of isometric handgrip strength.

TL;DR: Some of the first estimates of the extent of the public health problem posed by sarcopenia are provided, independent of ethnicity, age, morbidity, obesity, income, and health behaviors.
Report of the Task Group on Reference Man
TL;DR: As this report of the task group on reference man, it will really give you the good idea to be successful.

Strength conditioning in older men: skeletal muscle hypertrophy and improved function.
TL;DR: Strength gains in older men were associated with significant muscle hypertrophy and an increase in myofibrillar protein turnover and the torque-velocity relationship showed an upward displacement of the curve at the end of training, mainly in the slow-vel velocity high-torque region.

Cadaver validation of skeletal muscle measurement by magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography

TL;DR: Findings strongly support the use of MRI and CT as reference methods for appendicular skeletal muscle, interstitial and subcutaneous adipose tissue measurement in vivo.

Effects of sex and age on the 24-hour profile of growth hormone secretion in man: importance of endogenous estradiol concentrations
Ken K. Y. Ho,William S. Evans,R. M. Blizzard,Johannes D. Veldhuis,George R. Merriam,E. Samojlik,R. Furlanetto,Alan D. Rogol,Donald L. Kaiser,Michael O. Thorner +9 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that sex and age have independent and interrelated effects on GH secretion, and an amplifying action of estradiol on the neuroendocrine regulation of pulsatile GH release is suggested.
