Sarcopenia in female patients with Alzheimer's disease are more likely to have lower levels of haemoglobin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D
Few studies have investigated sarcopenia in patients with cognitive impairment. However, identifying the characteristics and factors associated with sarcopenia in these patients may help to decrease the risk of falls, prevent disabilities, and maintain an independent life, all of which can affect the quality of life of both patient and caregiver. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate associated factors of sarcopenia in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Effects of 4 weeks of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v supplementation on nutritional status, enteral nutrition tolerance, and quality of life in cancer patients receiving home enteral nutrition – a double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled trial
Several human trials have confirmed that Lactobacillus plantarum 299v (Lp299v) relief the gastrointestinal symptoms observed in patients with irritable bowel syndrome, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These symptoms are similar to those associated with home enteral nutrition and they affect nutritional status as well as patients' quality of life. The aims of this study were to determine the effect of Lp299v on nutritional status, enteral formula tolerance, and quality of life in cancer patients.

Association of Meteorin-Like Hormone with insulin resistance and body composition in healthy Iranian adults
Sedentary behavior and/or physical inactivity are modifiable risk factors for noncommunicable diseases. Myokines are one of the mediators of physical activity health benefits. Relationship between regular physical activity (RPA) and baseline plasma Meteorin-Like Hormone (Metrnl) has not been explored in human. Hence, we compared baseline plasma Metrnl between sedentary individuals and ones with recreational physical activities, and role of Metrnl as a biological messenger between physical activity and insulin resistance and body composition was also explored.
