One-leg standing time is a simple measure for loss of skeletal muscle mass and fat deposition in muscle: the J-SHIPP study.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

One-leg standing time (OLST) has been frequently used physical performance measure; however, what muscular characteristics OLST represents remains uncertain.

Aim

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between OLST and muscle characteristics to clarify the possibility of using OLST as a physical performance measure.

Methods

Study participants comprised 1144 older adults aged 65 years or older. Computed tomography images provided mid-thigh skeletal muscle cross-sectional area and mean attenuation value. OLST was measured for a maximum of 60 s. Static postural instability was assessed using a posturography.

Results

A frequency of OLST < 20 s was increased by quartiles of muscle cross-sectional area (Q1: 33.6, Q2: 12.8, Q3: 13.6, Q4: 11.9%, P < 0.001) and mean attenuation value (Q1: 32.3, Q2: 21.7, Q3: 14.3, Q4: 7.7%, P < 0.001). Results of the multinomial regression analysis indicated that muscle cross-sectional area and mean attenuation value were independently associated with an OLST of less than 20 s. The crude odds ratio of OLST less than 20 s for the lowest quartiles of both cross-sectional area and mean attenuation value was 4.19 (95% CI: 3.01 - 5.84). The cross-sectional area of muscles with greater fat deposition was inversely associated with OLST, while that with smaller fat deposition showed a positive association with OLST, indicating why mean attenuation value and cross-sectional area were independently associated with OLST. No clear relationship was observed with static postural instability.

Conclusion

OLST was a simply measurable quantifiable physical measure representing the loss of muscle mass and quality in older adults.

Project description:BackgroundMuscle mass loss may be associated with liver fat accumulation, yet scientific consensus is lacking and evidence in older adults is scant. It is unclear which muscle characteristics might contribute to this association in older adults.MethodsWe associated comprehensive muscle-related phenotypes including muscle mass normalized to body weight (D3-creatine dilution), muscle fat infiltration (magnetic resonance imaging), carbohydrate-supported muscle mitochondrial maximal oxidative phosphorylation (respirometry), and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2 peak) with liver fat among older adults. Linear regression models adjusted for age, gender, technician (respirometry only), daily minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, and prediabetes/diabetes status tested main effects and interactions of each independent variable with waist circumference (high: women-≥88 cm, men-≥102 cm) and gender.ResultsAmong older adults aged 75 (interquartile range: 73, 79 years; 59.8% women), muscle mass and liver fat were not associated overall (N = 362) but were positively associated among participants with a high waist circumference (β: 25.2; 95% confidence intervals [95% CI]: 11.7, 40.4; p = .0002; N = 160). Muscle fat infiltration and liver fat were positively associated (β: 15.2; 95% CI: 6.8, 24.3; p = .0003; N = 378). Carbohydrate-supported maximum oxidative phosphorylation (before adjustment) and VO2 peak (after adjustment; β: -12.9; 95% CI: -20.3, -4.8; p = .003; N = 361) were inversely associated with liver fat; adjustment attenuated the estimate for maximum oxidative phosphorylation although the point estimate remained negative (β: -4.0; 95% CI: -11.6, 4.2; p = .32; N = 321).ConclusionsSkeletal muscle-related characteristics are metabolically relevant factors linked to liver fat in older adults. Future research should confirm our results to determine whether trials targeting mechanisms common to liver and muscle fat accumulation are warranted.

Project description:BackgroundLittle is known about the association of changes in two body components, muscle and fat mass, with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among young adults. We investigated the association of changes in predicted lean body mass index (LBMI), appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), and body fat mass index (BFMI) with the development of CVD among young adults.MethodsThis nationwide, population-based cohort study included 3 727 738 young adults [2 406 046 (64.5%) men and 1 321 692 (35.5%) women] aged 20-39 years without a previous history of CVD who underwent two health screening examinations during 2009-2010 and 2011-2012. Using validated and robust prediction equations, we calculated the changes in predicted LBMI, ASMI, and BFMI from the first to the second examinations.ResultsThe mean (SD) age was 32.2 (4.9) years, and 2 406 046 (64.5%) of the participants were men. A total of 23 344 CVD events were detected during 22 257 632 person-years of follow-up. Each 1 kg/m2 increase in predicted LBMI and ASMI change was associated with a reduced risk of CVD among men [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.82-0.91; aHR: 0.76, 95% CI 0.69-0.82, respectively] and women (aHR: 0.77, 95% CI 0.63-0.95; aHR: 0.75, 95% CI 0.59-0.96). Each 1 kg/m2 increase in predicted BFMI change was associated with an increased risk of CVD among men (aHR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.10-1.22) and women (aHR: 1.32, 95% CI 1.06-1.65). In both sexes, decreases in predicted LBMI and ASMI were associated with greater CVD risk, and decreased predicted BFMI was associated with a reduced CVD risk. Those who maintained their BMI between -1 and +1 kg/m2 also had a decreased risk of CVD per 1 kg/m2 increase in predicted LBMI and ASMI change among men (aHR: 0.86, 95% CI 0.80-0.92; aHR: 0.85, 95% CI 0.76-0.95) and women (aHR: 0.62, 95% CI 0.47-0.83; aHR: 0.59, 95% CI 0.44-0.80) and had a greater risk of CVD per 1 kg/m2 increase in predicted BFMI change among men (aHR: 1.17, 95% CI 1.10-1.25) and women (aHR: 1.64, 95% CI 1.20-2.23). Regardless of changes in weight, such as from normal to obese or vice versa, these results were consistent.ConclusionsAmong young adults, increased predicted muscle mass or decreased predicted fat mass were associated with a reduced risk of development of CVD. Decreased predicted muscle mass or increased predicted fat mass were associated with an elevated risk of development of CVD.
