BACKGROUND: Much interest has been focused on nutritional treatment of sarcopenia, loss
of muscle mass and performance associated to aging; however, its benefits are unclear …

Aging is associated with a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength. The
decline, known as sarcopenia, could lead to physical disability, poor quality of life, and …

Background & aims Sarcopenia is defined as a syndrome characterized by declines in
skeletal muscle mass and strength or an alteration in physical function. Although some …

Objective: to examine the clinical evidence reporting the prevalence of sarcopenia and the
effect of nutrition and exercise interventions from studies using the consensus definition of …

General muscle health declines with age, and in particular, sarcopenia—defined as
progressive loss of muscle mass and strength/physical performance—is a growing issue in …

We discuss the relationship of sarcopenia with cachexia, malnutrition and frailty, and the
areas that are hampering agreement. We summarize key scientific evidence, consider future …

As the population is aging rapidly, there is a strong increase in the number of individuals
with chronic disease and physical limitations. The decrease in skeletal muscle mass and …

Background It has been suggested that a balanced nutritional intake may be useful in
preventing or even reversing sarcopenia. Aim To describe cross-sectional associations …

Risk for or established malnutrition is frequent in older adults, accompanied by functional
limitations, increased morbidity and mortality. Protein-energy malnutrition is often observed …

Aging-related sarcopenia means that muscle mass, strength, and physical performance tend
to decline with age, and malnutrition is associated with sarcopenia. Therefore, nutritional …
