Older adults, sarcopenia risk, and the trade-off nobody quantifies — setting out what I have, and where I think it stops being reliable.

Older adults: setting out the arithmetic in full, because I have had to do it twice and I would rather nobody else did.

Every step is shown. If the answer is wrong the error will be visible, which is the point of writing it out rather than posting the result.

Post #12 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

Genetic and ancestry-related differences in response are asked about regularly and the published evidence is thin enough that the honest answer is short.

Two sources, same conclusion, and I could not rule out that one copied the other.

a.thorne, post #3: Extrapolating a point estimate to somebody well outside the enrolled range should be described as an extrapolation every time it is done. This is the version I would want a new member to read first. Go to post

That is the distinction I keep failing to hold on to. Written down now.

g.radich, post #6: Fair, and the limits you put on it are the part I will remember. Go to post

Confirming post #45 from a second method, which matters more than confirming it from a second person.

Post-surgical populations, particularly after procedures affecting the gastrointestinal tract, interact with a delayed-emptying mechanism in ways that need specialist input.

That is the practical version. The rigorous version is longer and says the same thing.

A weak preference rather than a position.

Practical answer on older adults, since the theoretical one is upthread: do the simplest check first, write down the result, and only then decide whether the complicated explanation is needed. It usually is not.

Second this, and I would have said it less carefully.

y.adeyemi, post #4: The most useful thing anyone has posted about older adults in this category was a table of what had been measured and by whom. That is what I would want again. Go to post

Older adults: I have looked for the primary source twice and failed twice. Either it does not exist or it is somewhere I do not know to look, and I would like to know which.

The disagreement above is smaller than it looks once the terms are fixed.
