Consensus on clinically valid diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia requires a systematical assessment of the association of its candidate measures of muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance on one side and muscle-related clinical parameters on the other side. In this study, we systematically assessed associations between serum albumin as a muscle-related parameter and muscle measures in 172 healthy young (aged 18–30 years) and 271 old participants (aged 69–81 year) from the European MYOAGE study. Muscle measures included relative muscle mass, i.e., total- and appendicular lean mass (ALM) percentage, absolute muscle mass, i.e., ALM/height2 and total lean mass in kilograms, handgrip strength, and walking speed. Muscle measures were standardized and analyzed in multivariate linear regression models, stratified by age. Adjustment models included age, body composition, C-reactive protein and lifestyle factors. In young participants, serum albumin was positively associated with lean mass percentage (p = 0.007) and with ALM percentage (p = 0.001). In old participants, serum albumin was not associated with any of the muscle measures. In conclusion, the association between serum albumin and muscle measures was only found in healthy young participants and the strongest for measures of relative muscle mass.

Muscle and bone mass in middle‐aged women : role of menopausal status and physical activity
Sipilä, Sarianna; Törmäkangas, Timo; Sillanpää, Elina; Aukee, Pauliina; Kujala, Urho M.; Kovanen, Vuokko; Laakkonen, Eija K. (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020)Background. Women experience drastic hormonal changes during midlife due to the menopausal transition. Menopausal hormonal changes are known to lead to bone loss and potentially also to loss of lean mass. The loss of muscle ... -
Training load does not affect detraining's effect on muscle volume, muscle strength and functional capacity among older adults
Roie, Evelien Van; Walker, Simon; Driessche, Stijn Van; Baggen, Remco; Coudyzer, Walter; Bautmans, Ivan; Delecluse, Christophe (Elsevier Inc., 2017)Research underlines the potential of low-load resistance exercise in older adults. However, while the effects of detraining from high-load protocols have been established, it is not known whether gains from low-load training ... -

Karger, 2019)Objective: Low serum albumin concentration is associated with poor health outcomes, but its relationship with the risk of fractures has not been reliably quantified. We aimed to assess the prospective association of serum ... -
