Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD), but less is understood regarding the relation between BMD and muscle mass, especially in non-dialysis dependent-CKD (NDD-CKD). The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence and...

Patient engagement in the design of an intervention to prevent muscle loss in individuals with knee osteoarthritis and a BMI ≥35
Download2021-12-21
Godziuk, Kristine, Prado, Carla M., Forhan, Mary
Objective Interventions for knee osteoarthritis (OA) in adults with a large body size [defined as a BMI≥35 kg/m2] often prioritize weight-loss, which may overshadow specific benefits for physical function, metabolic health, and body composition. As part of the development of a future clinical...

Practical Considerations for Body Composition Assessment of Adults with Class II/III Obesity Using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis or Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Download2016-09-03
Johnson Stoklossa, Carlene A., Forhan, Mary, Padwal, Raj S., Gonzalez, Maria Cristina, Prado, Carla M.
Purpose of Review The purpose of this review is to explore the practical considerations for body composition assessment of adults with class II/III obesity. Studies assessing adults (18–64 years) with a body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2 with bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and/or dual-energy...

Protein Recommendation to Increase Muscle (PRIMe): Study protocol for a randomized controlled pilot trial investigating the feasibility of a high protein diet to halt loss of muscle mass in patients with colorectal cancer
Download2021-02-01
Ford, Katherine L., Sawyer, Michael B., Trottier, Claire F., Ghosh, Sunita, Deutz, Nicolaas E. P., Siervo, Mario, Porter Starr, Kathryn N., Bales, Connie W., Disi, Ilana Roitman, Prado, Carla M.
Background Severe muscle mass (MM) loss is a defining feature of cancer observed across all types and stages of disease and is an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes including higher incidences of chemotherapy toxicity and decreased survival. Protein is essential to build MM, yet the...

Vieira, Flávio Teixeira, Godziuk, Kristine, Lamarca, Fernando, Melendez-Araújo, Mariana Silva, Lima, Ricardo Moreno, Prado, Carla M., de Carvalho, Kênia Mara Baiocchi, Dutra, Eliane Said
Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to apply the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism/European Association for the Study of Obesity (ESPEN/EASO) consensus to identify sarcopenic obesity (SO) in adults mid to long-term post-Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) using both...

Skeletal muscle anabolism is a side effect of therapy with the MEK inhibitor: Selumetinib in patients with cholangiocarcinoma
Download2012
Ghosh, Sunita, Doyle, L. Austin, Baracos, Vickie E., Prado, Carla M., Sawyer, Michael B., Bekaii-Saab, Tanios, Shrestha, Suraj
background: Cancer cachexia is characterised by skeletal muscle wasting; however, potential for muscle anabolism in patients with advanced cancer is unproven. methods: Quantitative analysis of computed tomography images for loss/gain of muscle in cholangiocarcinoma patients receiving selumetinib...

The influence of coffee consumption on bioelectrical impedance parameters: a randomized, double-blind, cross-over trial
Download2022-01-01
Mota, João F., Gonzalez, Maria Cristina, Lukaski, Henry, Oto, Gabriela L., Trottier, Claire F., Tibaes, Jenneffer R. B., Prado, Carla M.
Background Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a widely used method for estimating body composition. Avoiding foods/beverages containing caffeine is a frequently enforced pre-test protocol to ensure reliability of BIA measurements. However, few studies have evaluated whether this is...

Total energy expenditure assessed by 24-h whole-room indirect calorimeter in patients with colorectal cancer: baseline findings from the PRIMe study
Download2023-08-01
Ford, Katherine L, Pichard, Claude, Sawyer, Michael B., Trottier, Claire F, Disi, Ilana Roitman, Purcell, Sarah A, Ghosh, Sunita, Siervo, Mario, Deutz, Nicolaas E. P., Prado, Carla M.
Background Total energy expenditure (TEE) determines energy requirements, but objective data in patients with cancer are limited. Objectives We aimed to characterize TEE, investigate its predictors, and compare TEE with cancer-specific predicted energy requirements. Methods This cross-sectional...

Use of Digital Technologies in the Nutritional Management of Catabolism-Prone Chronic Diseases: A Rapid Review
Download2021-12-01
Cruz, Christofer, Prado, Carla M., Punja, Salima, Tandon, Puneeta
Background: Diet and nutrition applications (apps) have become more readily accessible as smartphone ownership increases. These apps have the potential to improve nutritional outcomes, but it remains unclear whether they are effective in patients with catabolism-prone conditions and specialized...

Using bioelectrical impedance analysis in children and adolescents: Pressing issues
2022-05-01
Orsso, Camila E., Gonzalez, Maria Cristina, Maisch, Michael Johannes, Haqq, Andrea M., Prado, Carla M.
Single- and multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) has gained popularity as a tool to assess body composition and health status of children and adolescents, but many questions and misconceptions remain. This review addresses pressing issues researchers and health care providers may...
