A

metabolic syndrome related to underlying illness and characterized by muscle mass loss with or without fat mass loss that is often associated with anorexia, an inflammatory process, insulin resistance, and increased protein turnover

Q

What is the difference between sarcopenia and cachexia?

A

Sarcopenia and cachexia are both conditions characterized by muscle loss, but they have different underlying causes, mechanisms, and associated conditions.
1. Sarcopenia:
* Definition: Primarily refers to the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength due to aging.
* Causes: Often related to aging, physical inactivity, and hormonal changes. It can also be influenced by poor nutrition and chronic diseases but is generally seen as a part of the natural aging process.
* Mechanism: Decline in muscle protein synthesis and an increase in muscle protein breakdown due to aging.
* Population Affected: Mostly affects older adults, especially those who are sedentary.
* Symptoms: Reduced muscle strength, decreased stamina, and increased risk of falls and fractures.
2. Cachexia:
* Definition: A complex syndrome involving severe muscle loss usually seen in people with chronic diseases.
* Causes: Commonly associated with chronic illnesses like cancer, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or COPD. It results from an inflammatory response to these conditions.
* Mechanism: Involves an increased rate of muscle protein breakdown, often triggered by inflammation and catabolic signaling due to the underlying disease.
* Population Affected: Affects people of various ages who have chronic diseases, regardless of age.
* Symptoms: Rapid weight loss, fatigue, muscle wasting, and weakness, often seen in conjunction with other symptoms of the underlying disease.

Q

List max HR for ages 60, 70, 80, 90

A

DO NOT USE (220 - age = HRmax) for geriatric patients because it UNDERESTIMATES capabilities

Use (0.7 x age = HRmax)

60: 166
70: 159
80: 152
90: 145
