Weight Cycling as a Risk Factor for Low Muscle Mass and Strength in a Population of Males and Females with Obesity

Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to determine whether multiple weight cycles in adulthood are an independent predictor of lower muscle mass and reduced strength, with potential implication for sarcopenia in adults with obesity. Methods: A total of 60 males and 147 females with obesity were included, with a mean BMI of 37.9 ± 6.0 kg/m 2 and a mean age of 52.6 ± 12.4 years. Muscle strength was evaluated with handgrip and appendicular skeletal muscle mass was measured with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Results: Pa… Show more

“…Natural history of sarcopenia coupled to obesity clearly needs to be further elucidated by future research. An important aspect concerning sarcopenic obesity is weight cycling and body composition trajectory [113] as it may induce repeated FFM loss which is not completely recovered during weight regain in relation to post-restriction metabolic and hormonal alterations during refeeding [114].…”

“…We examined the effects of resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic compound present in grapes, on sarcopenia obesity in (high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity mice and aging-associated sarcopenia SAMP8 mice. The resveratrol theory of aging provides reasonable explanations for ageassociated sarcopenica (38). In addition, studies strongly suggest that resveratrol play a significant role in the deterioration of skeletal muscle with obesity and sarcopenia with age-associated phenomena (39).…”

“…A questionnaire was administered to participants in order to gather information regarding their social demographic (age, marital status, employment, level of education, etc.). Moreover, their prior intentional weight-loss attempts were carefully evaluated by a trained dietician involved in the study, and WC was deemed to be intentional weight loss of ≥3 kg, followed by involuntary weight regain of ≥3 kg [16]. Participants were considered multiple WC if they experienced ≥2 cycles [16].…”

“…This repeated failure in the long-term maintenance of weight loss leads to body weight fluctuation over time, termed 'weight cycling' (WC) [11]. In the last few decades, the study of this phenomenon has gained particular attention, and several pieces of research have attempted to clarify whether WC may adversely affect health outcomes [12][13][14][15][16]. However, such research has produced inconsistent evidence, especially in terms of changes in body composition patterns.…”
