“… 1 ) Alterations in postural alignment often occur to compensate for decreased muscle strength in older adults. 40 ) An incorrect body position negatively influences muscle function and can cause structural changes in overloaded parts of the spine, leading to pain, especially in older adults. 41 ) Additionally, back muscle function influences thoracic spinal compressive loading, which may contribute to the development of upper back pain.…”

Background: This study aimed to better understand the relationship between chronic musculoskeletal pain and the risk of sarcopenia in older adults. Methods: The risk of sarcopenia was assessed in 210 older adults using the SARC-F (strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, ascending stairs, and falls) questionnaire. Geriatric pain measures were used to assess pain. We also recorded the pain sites (ankles/feet, wrists/hands, upper back, lower back, neck, shoulder, hips, and knees). Results: Participant mean age was 72.4±7 years, and 109 (51.9%) of the participants were female. The prevalence rates of sarcopenia and chronic musculoskeletal pain were 60% and 92.9%, respectively. Older adults at risk of sarcopenia had a higher mean age, body mass index (BMI), number of comorbidities and falls, presence of chronic pain, pain intensity, and pain sites. Sarcopenia risk was correlated with chronic pain intensity (current and last 7 days) (r=0.506, p<0.001 and r=0.584, p< 0.001, respectively), multisite pain (r=0.442, p< 0.001), and Geriatric Pain Measure score (r=0.730; p< 0.001). Age (odds ratio [OR]=1.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0–1.2), BMI (OR=1.1; 95% CI, 1.0–1.2), and geriatric pain (OR=1.1; 95% Cl, 1.0–1.1) were associated with sarcopenia risk.Conclusions: The risk of sarcopenia is linked to chronic pain, which frequently occurs in geriatric populations. Our study results also showed that higher pain intensity was associated with a higher risk of sarcopenia. Older adults at risk for sarcopenia often experience chronic musculoskeletal pain, which must be better recognized. Moreover, its significance must be noted in the treatment process.

“…Positioning the head in front of the body increases the sway of the center of gravity, which increases fatigue and impairs motor function [ 33 ]. Kim et al also found that patients with sarcopenia have ears and shoulders located more anteriorly than healthy people [ 34 ]. Therefore, standing posture may also be a risk factor for locomotive syndrome.…”

Young people are also at risk of developing locomotive syndrome for unclear reasons. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the locomotive syndrome risk in young Japanese women and the relationship between standing posture and gait patterns. We used survey materials for physical measurements, locomotive syndrome risk tests, normal and maximum walking test, a standing posture test, and physical activity measures. A questionnaire-based cross-sectional survey was conducted with 100 Japanese female university students. The participants were divided into two groups (high-risk and low-risk groups) based on locomotive syndrome risk tests. The high-risk group accounted for 65.0% of the total participants. The high-risk group had a significantly slower walking speed and lower walking stride length than the low-risk group during maximum walking. Additionally, this high-risk group had a more prone posture than the low-risk group. Furthermore, the low-risk group included more individuals who belonged to middle and high school athletic clubs than the high-risk group. The locomotive syndrome risk was related to the walking pattern, standing posture, and past exercise habits. Therefore, long stride length, correct standing posture, and exercise habits acquired from a young age are important measures for preventing locomotive syndrome in young adults.

“…Percent body fat, segmental lean mass, and segmental fat mass were measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) technique using 50 kHz Accuinq model BC360 (Kim et al, 2018;Yang et al, 2018). Circumference of body segment was collected using measuring tape, with the body height was measured using stadiometer.…”

Research purpose. This study aims to compare anthropometric characteristics between elite and novice bodybuilders. Materials and methods. Twenty bodybuilders consisted of 10 elites and 10 novices were recruited. Percent body fat, segmental lean mass, and segmental fat mass were measured by a bioelectrical impedance analysis device. Other measure includes the circumference of body segment and body height. Results. Results of the study indicated that significant differences were found in terms of upper arm (flexed) circumference, upper arm circumference, and chest circumference, with the elite, were bigger than the novice. Elite bodybuilders also had significantly lower body fat percentage, with a better segmental lean mass of the right arm, left arm, and trunk. Interestingly neck, arm, waist, hip, thigh, and calf circumferences were not significantly different between groups. Similar insignificant differences were also found in body mass index, a segmental lean mass of right leg and left leg, a segmental fat mass of left and right arm, trunk, and left and right leg. With regards specifically to the group of bodybuilders that participated in this study, the non-significant differences variables may indicate areas that can be improved in terms of training in both elite and novice. The variables with significant differences may indicate the area that may have been over-emphasized by the elite group, which may also contribute to their better (winning) performance. Conclusions. In a conclusion, the results also correspond well with bodybuilding judging criteria, where one of them such as size (circumference) may be similar, but bodybuilders with lean and well-defined bodies will be in the winning group.
