Accuracy of direct segmental multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis in the assessment of total body and segmental body composition in middle-aged adult population

TLDR
DSM-BIA is a valid tool for the assessments of total body and segmental body composition in the general middle-aged population, particularly for the quantification of body lean mass.

Validity and Reliability of Tools to Measure Muscle Mass, Strength, and Physical Performance in Community-Dwelling Older People: A Systematic Review

TL;DR: It can be concluded that several tools are available for valid and reliable measurements of muscle mass, strength, and performance in clinical settings and the combination of selected instruments and its use for the screening and identification of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older people need further evaluation.

Defining sarcopenia: the impact of different diagnostic criteria on the prevalence of sarcopenia in a large middle aged cohort

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the degree of agreement between seven different diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia based on muscle mass and handgrip strength, described in literature, and concluded that the prevalence of sarc openia is highly dependent on the applied diagnostic criteria.

Defining sarcopenia: the impact of different diagnostic criteria on the prevalence of sarcopenia in a large middle aged cohort

TL;DR: It is concluded that the prevalence of sarcopenia is highly dependent on the applied diagnostic criteria and it is necessary to reach a consensus on the definition of sarc Openia in order to make studies comparable and for implementation in clinical care.

Reliability and Agreement of Various InBody Body Composition Analyzers as Compared to Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Healthy Men and Women.

TL;DR: The InBody analyzers produce small individual error, which suggest these methods can be used as a surrogate when DXA is not available; however, practitioners should be aware of the systematic bias for all comparisons and proportional bias for FM in women and FFM in men.

Validity of segmental multiple-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis to estimate body composition of adults across a range of body mass indexes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared body composition estimates using an eight-electrode, segmental, multiple-frequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (segmental MF-BIA) and dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in a group of healthy adults with a range of body mass indexes (BMIs).

Use of dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry in body-composition studies: not yet a "gold standard".

TL;DR: DEXA is a ‘ ‘gold standard’ ‘ for body-composition research involving noncalcified tissues, and not solely for bone-density research, but caution be used before DEXA be adopted uncritically for this purpose.

Evidence of genetic enrichment for exceptional survival using a family approach: the Leiden Longevity Study

TL;DR: It is concluded that the sample is genetically enriched for extreme survival, because the spouses of the long-living participants had a mortality risk comparable with the general Dutch population, whereas they share the same environment.

In vivo validation of whole body composition estimates from dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

TL;DR: It is concluded that body composition estimates from DEXA are accurate compared with those from a four-component model in young adults who vary in gender, race, athletic status, body size, musculoskeletal development, and body fatness.
