Description
Ioana Muller and colleagues measure in 2026 how often sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength, and malnutrition persist in people living with transplanted lungs. Ninety-nine adult recipients were assessed during routine follow-up using the EWGSOP2 definition for sarcopenia and the GLIM criteria for malnutrition, applied both before transplantation and at follow-up.
Sarcopenia was found in 17 recipients, or 17.2 percent, and most of those cases were severe. Malnutrition was common before transplantation, affecting about 53 percent, and still affected about 23 percent afterward. Sarcopenia clustered with the diseases that led to transplant, mainly COPD and interstitial lung disease. The numbers show that a successful transplant does not end nutritional vulnerability, and that muscle health merits a standing place in follow-up care.
