Adequate lean body mass plays a vital role in overall health. A reduction in lean body mass and strength affect mortality and quality of life and can increase time to recover and length of hospital stays. Recovering lean body mass which has been lost is difficult; however, comprehensive healthcare that emphasizes early diagnosis and treatments for lean body mass loss may play key mitigation roles. Clinicians have an opportunity to be agents of change in taking research to practice to treat age- and disease-related loss of lean body mass through innovative clinical and nutrition interventions.

Disease-related inflammation, malnutrition and lean body mass
Gordon L Jensen, MD, PhD, University of Vermont College of Medicine, Burlington, VT, USA

Growing evidence suggests that varying degrees of acute or chronic inflammation are key contributing factors in the pathophysiology of malnutrition that is associated with disease or injury. Inflammation promotes metabolic dysregulation, hyperglycemia, decreased visceral proteins, muscle catabolism, edema, anorexia, and malaise / deconditioning. Inflammation may also blunt favorable responses to nutrition therapies. We have proposed a new etiology driven approach to nutrition diagnosis for adults in the clinical practice setting that has been adopted by ASPEN and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. These malnutrition syndromes include "starvation-related malnutrition," when there is chronic starvation without inflammation, "chronic disease-related malnutrition," when inflammation is chronic and of mild to moderate degree, and "acute disease or injury-related malnutrition," when inflammation is acute and of severe degree. A systematic approach to nutrition assessment will be shared for the diagnosis of malnutrition with practical indicators of malnutrition and inflammation that include medical / surgical history and clinical diagnosis, clinical signs and physical examination, anthropometric data, laboratories, dietary assessment, and functional outcomes. Feasibility and validity testing of malnutrition markers and characteristics will be discussed. Inflammation can be a good thing; let's try to keep it that way.

Lean Body Mass Loss for the Geriatric Patient: Clinical Implications
Dennis H. Sullivan, MD, University of Arkansas for the Medical Sciences

Lean body mass (LBM) declines progressively throughout life beginning in the third decade of life; the rate of loss generally accelerates after age 65 and can lead to serious health consequences. Skeletal muscle, primarily type II or fast twitch fibers, is the primary component of LBM that is lost. As muscle quality also declines with age, the loss of muscle strength is usually much greater than would be predicted based on the amount of muscle mass that is lost. Multiple factors contribute to this loss, some of which are potentially modifiable including sedentary lifestyle, inadequate diet, and chronic disease. Since there is a direct correlation between muscle strength and an increased risk of adverse clinical outcomes such as falls, disability, hospitalization, and death in older adults, strategies that can prevent this age-associated loss can have a major impact on population health. A number of mitigating strategies hold promise. Currently, the best approach to slowing the rate of muscle strength loss is maintenance of a healthy lifestyle characterized by a well-balanced diet and regular physical exercise including both aerobics and muscle strength training. Dietary supplements (e.g., essential amino acids, vitamin D) and pharmacologic approaches (e.g., select androgen receptor modulators) hold promise, but far more research in these areas is needed.

Maintaining Lean Body Mass in the ICU
Paul Wischmeyer, MD, University of Colorado School of Medicine

Over last 10 years mortality from sepsis/critical illness has fallen by half, however despite this apparent outcome improvement, the number of these "survivors" leaving our ICU's and going to rehabilitation facilities/nursing homes has tripled. Unfortunately, 40-50% of 1-year mortality post-ICU admit occurs after patient's have been discharged from ICU. Many of these deaths are believed to occur indirectly as a result of loss of lean body mass (LBM) and weakness. Thus, the question we must pose is "ARE WE CREATING SURVIVORS…OR ARE WE CREATING VICTIMS?" in the ICU. Can we learn to not only produce survivors, but survivors with a quality of life (QoL) worth living? To achieve this we must investigate multi-faceted interventions that combine nutrition with adequate protein and exercise for preservation/recovery of LBM. However, these necessary foundations are likely to be insufficient in many ICU patients to optimize LBM recovery. ICU patients can remain catabolic for >12 months post-illness. To achieve recovery we need to begin to incorporate "anabolic" interventions to reverse evolutionarily "mis-programmed" long-term catabolism. These interventions may include beta-blockers, testosterone-derivatives, HMB, and other sports nutrients. Treating with anabolic interventions in the right patients at the right time will be key to optimal recovery. Thus we must study these pharmacologic interventions in a systematic fashion that includes adequate nutrition if we hope to optimize QoL. In conclusion, if we are to make the treatments we subject ICU patients too worthwhile, we must investigate interventions that not only save lives, but also provide quality of life.

Lean Body Mass Loss in Surgical Patients
David C. Evans, MD, FACS, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio USA

Major surgery and the time after surgery or trauma are characterized by a catabolic stress state with increased caloric and protein requirements, increased muscle breakdown, and periods of prolonged immobility. After major trauma, over 1/7th of total body protein is lost in the first three weeks, and two-thirds of that protein loss is from skeletal muscle. With lean body mass loss in the setting of surgical stress, protein intake is diverted away from necessary immune and wound healing functions. Estimates of precise protein needs in surgical patients are still lacking but typically are estimated at or above 1.5–1.8 g/Kg/day. Emerging data is suggesting that muscle mass may serve as a nutritional assessment and prognostic tool for surgical and trauma patients. Increased protein and nutritional delivery may improve outcomes—particularly functional measures of performance status. Several techniques including CT scan and ultrasound are increasingly being used as part of a nutritional assessment. Strategies that maximize muscle mass in the perioperative period by leveraging protein intake, exercise, and anabolic agents may improve both direct surgical outcomes and long-term functional outcomes of recovery. Hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB) is one such agent—having been shown effective in several clinical populations. Future studies including a prospective controlled trial in high-risk pancreatectomy patients aim to illuminate this topic.

Cardiac Cachexia and Lean Body Mass Loss
Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, Baylor University Medical Center

Heart failure is the leading cause of adult hospitalization in the United States. There are multiple medications and several implanted devices that can reduce the rates of hospitalization and death in patients with heart failure. There remains an unmet need for additional approaches to improve the signs, symptoms, and consequences of heart failure. Multiple studies have found that evidence of macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate, and fat) deficiencies and overall malnutrition contributes to "cardiac cachexia" or reductions in lean body mass in patients with heart disease. Importantly frailty and complications are linked to cardiac cachexia. This problem is amenable to nutrition supplementation. Additionally, micronutrient (vitamins, elements, trace minerals) deficiencies have also been linked worsened left ventricular function and heart failure. Most prominently, iron deficiency with or without anemia has been associated with worsened outcomes. Clinical trials of iron supplementation in the form of parenterally administered iron have suggested a reduction in hospitalization and mortality and well as an improvement in quality of life. Assessment for both macro- and micronutrient deficiencies and appropriate supplementation may be beneficial in patients with heart failure and this approach appears to complement pharmacotherapy and the use of implanted cardiac devices.

Clinical Relevance of Cachexia in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Melissa J. Benton, PhD, RN, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

Cachexia is characterized by loss of muscle in the presence of chronic disease. Among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) the prevalence of cachexia is as high as 40%, with mortality rates up to 25%. In the United States, COPD patients account for one-third of cachexia-related hospital admissions, and their costs exceed non-cachectic patients by more than $4,500 per admission. Cachexia in the presence of COPD decreases functional capacity, quality of life, and survival. Inflammation and increased activity of myostatin are implicated in the pathophysiology of COPD cachexia. Skeletal and respiratory muscles are affected, leading to increased costs of breathing and physical activity, and an overall increase in 24-hour energy expenditure. Protein turnover is also likely affected by both increased breakdown and decreased synthesis. Clinical identification of muscle wasting is critical for early intervention, but biomarkers are unreliable and use of body mass index (BMI) can be complicated by increases in fat mass commensurate with decreases in lean mass presenting as a normal BMI. Body composition assessment is needed, but historically has been based on imaging of muscle mass, which is costly and not widely available in clinical settings. Bioelectric impedance analysis may provide an acceptable alternative for clinical measurement of muscle mass in COPD patients. Novel therapies aimed at appetite stimulation and myostatin inhibition hold promise, but current evidence supports use of conventional treatment strategies, including adequate nutrition to balance energy expenditure and low-intensity exercise, such as pulmonary rehabilitation, to increase muscle mass, function and quality of life.

Acute Illness: Clinical and Nutritional Interventions
Robert Martindale, MD, PhD, Oregon Health & Science University

Nutrition therapy provided early in acute illness setting has been shown to improve outcome. Appropriate and early nutrition intervention can attenuate the hyperdynamic systemic response and depressed immune reaction to injury, serious illness and major surgery. Controversies limit nutrition's uniform application and potential benefits, including failure to accurately predict who will "need" nutritional intervention, lack of consensus on what the optimal enteral formulation is, over-reliance on parenteral nutrition, failure to maximize use of early enteral feeding, and how much and how best to feed the morbidly obese population.

Despite challenges and inconsistencies in today's acute care setting, specialized nutrition has evolved from metabolic "support" during acute illness to a primary therapeutic intervention designed, individualized, and focused to achieve metabolic optimization and mitigation of stress-induced immune and hyperdynamic systemic responses. Nutrition should be considered early and commenced after initial resuscitation has taken place. This is most effectively accomplished with the use of protocols that aggressively promote early enteral nutrition, and will result in lower mortality and a reduction in major complications. Though the complexity of the heterogeneous hospitalized patient with serious acute illness will always be challenging but the nutrition community is developing a better understanding of immunity, metabolic needs, and catabolism associated with ICU admissions. In today's health care environment where value for service or intervention is required the aggressive nutritional therapy has been shown to be cost effective.

The Impact of Nutrition in the Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Gerard Mullin, MD, Johns Hopkins

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory gastrointestinal (GI) tract disorder which can be associated with diminished nutrient intake and absorption causing malnutrition, having an adverse impact to the patient. Assessment of nutritional status should be conducted on all patients with IBD as the prevalence of nutritional deficiencies and malnutrition in IBD are quite common and nutrition intervention may improve disease activity, mitigate symptoms and improve quality of life. Lean muscle mass depletion from systemic inflammation relates to disease activity in IBD and should be minimized. Augmenting nutritional status prevents adverse health consequences of malnutrition in patients with IBD and controls the underlying course of disease. This lecture will review the prevalence and pathophysiology for the depletion of lean muscle mass and nutritional deficiencies in IBD with evidence for central parenteral nutrition (CPN), enteral nutrition, dietary (elimination diets, low carbohydrate diet, low fermentable oligo-, di-, monosaccharide and polyol [FODMAP], fiber, omega-3-fatty acids). Micronutrient deficiency should be investigated and rectified. Enteral nutrition can induce and sustain remission in Crohn's disease. CPN is indicated in the setting of proven intestinal failure. Ω3 fish oil, prebiotics and glutamine do not have sufficient evidence to support their use in the treatment of active IBD.
