Association between serum lactate dehydrogenase and frailty among individuals with metabolic syndrome
While metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with frailty, the correlation of serum lactate dehydrogenase (sLDH) and frailty with MetS remain uncertain. To investigate the relationship between sLDH and frail components in the US with MetS. A total of 4,066 participants aged 40–90 years were…

Mid-arm muscle circumference: A significant factor of all-cause and cancer mortalities in individuals with elevated platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio
Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is an inflammatory maker, and high PLR is associated with mortality in several diseases. The predictors of mortality in individuals with high PLR is still lacking. Our aims were to assess if mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) can predict all-cause mortality…

Comparison of 7-site skinfold measurement and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for estimating body fat percentage and regional adiposity in Taiwanese diabetic patients
Obesity and regional adiposity are important risk factors for cardiometabolic disorders. The aim of this study is to compare 7-site skinfold (SF) measurement to dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the reference method for estimating body fat percentage (BF%) and regional adiposity in diabetic…
