Recommended cut-points for weakness and low muscle mass for men and women Cut-point Men Women Grip strength adjusted for BMI (GS BMI ) < 1.00 < 0.56 Appendicular lean body mass adjusted for BMI (ALM BMI ) Skeletal muscle index adjusted for weight (SMI weight ) < 0.789 < 0.512 < 29.0 < 22.9 GS BMI and ALM BMI cutpoints were identified by the NHI Sarcopenia Project. SMI weight cutpoints have been defined by BIA as SMI values below 2 standard deviation of a normal healthy population, where SMI% = total appendicular skeletal muscle mass (kg) / body weight (kg) 100.

669 cirrhotic patients consecutively evaluated for liver transplantation. Skeletal muscle index at the third lumbar vertebra (L3 SMI) was measured by computed tomography, and sarcopeniawas defined using previously published gender and body mass index specific cutoffs. Sarcopeniawas present in 298 patients (45%). By Cox regression analysis adjusted for age, gender, and hepatocellular carcinoma, both MELD and the L3 SMI were associated with mortality. Modification of MELD to include sarcopeniais associated with improved prediction of mortality in patients with cirrhosis, primarily in patients with low MELD scores.

VATI & HCC-free survival in cirrhosis Patients with cirrhosis (n = 678; 457 male) who were assessed for LT (289 with HCC) were evaluated for body composition analysis. Patients who underwent LT (n = 247, 168 male) were subsequently evaluated for body composition, and 96 of these patients (78 male) had HCC. Montano-Loza, Hepatology 2018
VATI & HCC-free survival in cirrhosis In male patients with HCC who underwent LT, a VATI 65 cm 2 /m 2 adjusted for Milan criteria was independently associated with higher risk of HCC recurrence (HR, 5.34; 95% CI, 1.19-23.97; P=0.03). Montano-Loza, Hepatology 2018

Optimizing nutritional support in the setting of cirrhosis Perumpail, Nutrients 2017
Conceptual framework of the relation between nutritional status and physical fitness in ESLD Duarte-Rojo, Liver Transplantion 2018 Physical deconditioning, determined by a low CPE (cardiopulmonary endurance), and sarcopenia, a surrogate for progressive malnutrition, are cofactors leading to functional deterioration. As physical deconditioning progresses, patients exercise less and use less energy as part of NEAT. Frailty is conceptualized as the extreme of functional deterioration, leading to clinical outcomes.
Raccomandazioni per l apporto di proteine e esercizio fisico (adulti > 65 anni) Recommendations For healthy older adults, we recommend a diet that includes at least 1.0 to 1.2 g protein/kg body weight/day. For certain older adults who have acute or chronic illnesses, 1.2 to 1.5 g protein/kg body weight/day Consider may be indicated, with even higher intake for individuals renal with severe illness or injury. function! We recommend daily physical activity for all older adults, as long as activity is possible. We also suggest resistance training, when possible, as part of an overall fitness regimen.

Lifestyle intervention in cirrhosis: The SportDiet Study A prospective, uncontrolled pilot study in 60 patients with compensated cirrhosis, portal hypertension (hepatic venous pressure gradient [HVPG] 6 mm Hg), and body mass index (BMI) 26 kg/m 2. All were enrolled in an intensive 16-week LS intervention program (personalized hypo-caloric normoproteic diet and 60 min/wk of supervised PA). Changes in HVPG and BW were predefined as clinically relevant if 10% and 5%, respectively. Reassessment after 6 moin 50 cases.
