No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07614464). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Istituto Auxologico Italiano. Recruitment status: RECRUITING. Study type: OBSERVATIONAL. Enrollment: 160 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Obesity, Sarcopenic Obesity. Interventions: OTHER: Fitness tests and questionnaires. Primary outcome measures: Fat mass , Baseline; Lean mass , Baseline; Barthel Index , Baseline; Handgrip test , Baseline. Brief summary: Obesity is a significant health problem whose prevalence has tripled worldwide in the last fifty years, also involving older people. Older people present sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength. Sarcopenia, accompanied by an increase in adipose tissue, causes a specific condition called sarcopenic obesity. The increase in adipose tissue and the decrease in muscle mass determines a reduction in strength and physical abilities necessary to perform everyday activities of daily living in obese older people. To understand how the condition of excess adipose tissue influences the activities of daily living of older people with obesity, it is necessary to compare the physical abilities, body composition, and results of various motor skills with normal-weight subjects, corrected for sex and age.
