Association of dietary approaches to stop hypertension eating style and risk of sarcopenia

Abstract

The association between habitual intake of the “dietary approaches to stop hypertension” (DASH) eating plan and sarcopenia has received limited attention. The present study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to DASH dietary pattern and sarcopenia and its components including muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle performance among community-dwelling older adults population. This population-based cross-sectional study was performed in 2011 among 300 older people (150 men and 150 women) aged ≥ 55 years, who were selected using cluster random sampling method. Dietary intake of study participants were examined by the use of a Block-format 117-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The DASH score was constructed based on eight main foods and nutrients emphasized or minimized in the DASH diet. All components of sarcopenia was measured using standard protocols and sarcopenia was defined based on both former and new European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) guidelines. Mean age and BMI of study participants were 66.7 ± 7.7 years and 27.3 ± 4.2 kg/m2, respectively. Totally, 31 individuals meet the criteria of EWGSOP2-sarcopenia. We found no significant association between adherence to the DASH diet and EWGSOP2-sarcopenia either before (OR 1.08; 95% CI 0.45–2.54) or after adjustment for potential confounders (OR 1.04; 95% CI 0.39–2.75). The same findings were obtained in the gender-stratified analyses (men: OR 2.29; 95% CI 0.39–13.29 and women: 0.75; 95% CI 0.23–2.45). In conclusion, we found that adherence to the DASH-style diet was not significantly associated with odds of sarcopenia. Future prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.

Synthesis of novel adsorbent based on tetrasulfide-functionalized fibrous silica KCC-1 for removal of Hg(II) cations

“…9 (input), the IPD diagram consists of two separate steps. The first step has a higher linear slope which is attributed to external mass transfer effects or external surface adsorption (boundary layer diffusion) and the second step has a lower slope which is related to the gradual adsorption phenomenon with control of the IPD mechanism (RLS) 8 . Also, the deviation of the IPD diagram from the origin indicates that in the process of Hg(II) adsorption by TSF-KCC-1, the IPD model can not explain the adsorption mechanism alone, but other mechanisms (PFO model) also affect the adsorption.…”

“… 5 – 7 . Among them, the adsorption strategy is considered as one of the favorite water remediation methods owing to its ease of operation (flexibility in design and operation), high efficiency, the availability of a wide range of structures, and the ability to combine with the above-mentioned removal strategies 8 – 13 .…”

“…In view of the importance of the quality of water to human and animal health and emerging utilities of nanotechnology and nanomaterials, a variety of efforts have been undertaken to discover nanostructured adsorbents (nanoadsorbents) and to utilize them for water treatment by adsorption method 14 – 16 . Various nanostructured adsorbent substances, including graphene-based nanomaterials 17 , 18 , mesoporous silica materials 12 , 13 , zeolites 19 , 20 , metal/covalent organic frameworks 7 , 8 , 21 , layered double hydroxides 22 , 23 , and mesoporous carbons and carbon nanotubes 24 – 26 have been studied over recent years. Among the aforementioned substances with the ability of adsorption, mesoporous silica materials—viz.…”

“…Among the aforementioned substances with the ability of adsorption, mesoporous silica materials—viz. hollow spheres, KIT-5, KIT-6, MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15, SBA-16, etc.—have received a great deal of interest because of their large identical pore networks, high surface area, functionalizable surface, and nontoxic nature of silica network 8 , 9 , 11 , 27 , 28 . The adsorption properties of these nanomaterials are significantly improved by functionalization (attaching metal-capturing functional groups to their surfaces).…”

Multimodal Diagnostic Approaches to Advance Precision Medicine in Sarcopenia and Frailty

“…Both have a favorable impact on metabolic variables, including reducing many of the abovementioned components presented in Figure 2 . Yet, in epidemiological studies, Soltani did not demonstrate any impact of the DASH diet on risk of sarcopenia [ 83 ]. Similarly, this was not observed in a study evaluating the Mediterranean diet [ 84 ].…”
