Aziz J, Reid K, Batsis J, Fielding R
JAR Life . 2022 Jul; 10:19-25. PMID: 35783581
Background: Older adults living in rural areas suffer from health inequities compared to their urban counterparts. These include comorbidity burden, poor diet, and physical inactivity, which are also risk factors...

Batsis J, Shirazi D, Petersen C, Roderka M, Lynch D, Jimenez D, et al.
J Frailty Aging . 2022 Apr; 11(2):151-155. PMID: 35441191
We conducted a post-hoc analysis of a pre/post, single-arm, non-randomized, multicomponent weight loss intervention in older adults. Fifty-three older adults aged ≥65 with a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2...

Crow R, Petersen C, Cook S, Stevens C, Titus A, Mackenzie T, et al.
J Frailty Aging . 2020 Apr; 9(2):74-81. PMID: 32259180
Objective: A 5% change in weight is a significant predictor for frailty and obesity. We ascertained how self-reported weight change over the lifespan impacts rates of frailty in older adults....

Batsis J, Boateng G, Seo L, Petersen C, Fortuna K, Wechsler E, et al.
World Acad Sci Eng Technol . 2019 Jun; 13(5):340-348. PMID: 31205628
Resistance exercise bands are a core component of any physical activity strengthening program. Strength training can mitigate the development of sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass or strength and function...

Crow R, Lohman M, Titus A, Cook S, Bruce M, Mackenzie T, et al.
J Nutr Health Aging . 2019 Jan; 23(2):138-144. PMID: 30697622
Objectives: Body composition changes with aging can increase rates of obesity, frailty and impact function. Measuring adiposity using body fat (%BF) or central adiposity using waist circumference (WC) have greater...

Brooks J, Titus A, Bruce M, Orzechowski N, Mackenzie T, Bartels S, et al.
J Nutr Health Aging . 2018 Oct; 22(8):938-943. PMID: 30272097
Objectives: Sarcopenia is a gradual loss of muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. This muscle deterioration is linked to increased morbidity, disability, and other adverse outcomes. Although reduced...

Batsis J, Mackenzie T, Vasquez E, Germain C, Emeny R, Rippberger P, et al.
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2017 Aug; 42(2):198-204. PMID: 28816228
Background/objectives: Telomere shortening is associated with age and risk of medical comorbidity. We assessed the relationship between measures of adiposity, leukocyte telomere length, and mortality and whether it is modified...

Batsis J, Germain C, Vasquez E, Bartels S
Eur J Clin Nutr . 2016 Jun; 70(10):1168-1173. PMID: 27245209
Background/objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of muscle weakness using the two 2014 Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) Sarcopenia Project criteria and...

Batsis J, Mackenzie T, Bartels S, Sahakyan K, Somers V, Lopez-Jimenez F
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2015 Dec; 40(5):761-7. PMID: 26620887
Background: Body composition changes with aging lead to increased adiposity and decreased muscle mass, making the diagnosis of obesity challenging. Conventional anthropometry, including body mass index (BMI), while easy to...

Batsis J, Zbehlik A, Barre L, Bynum J, Pidgeon D, Bartels S
Scand J Rheumatol . 2015 Jun; 44(6):495-502. PMID: 26083472
Objectives: Older adults with obesity are at risk for osteoarthritis (OA) and are predisposed to functional decline and disability. We examined the association between obesity and disability, physical activity, and...
