From a health perspective, an underappreciated consequence of the normal aging process
is the impacts that the gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass, termed sarcopenia, has on …

Sarcopenia is characterized by decreases in both muscle mass and muscle function. The
loss of muscle mass, which can precede decrements in muscle function, is ultimately rooted …

Given our rapidly aging world-wide population, the loss of skeletal muscle mass with healthy
aging (sarcopenia) represents an important societal and public health concern. Maintaining …

Sarcopenic declines in muscle mass and function contribute to the risk of falls, reduced
mobility, and progression to frailty in older persons. Mitigation of sarcopenia can be …

It is well accepted that daily protein intake is an important dietary consideration to limit and
treat age-related declines in muscle mass, strength, and function. Furthermore, we propose …

To mitigate the age-related decline in skeletal muscle quantity and quality, and the
associated negative health outcomes, it has been proposed that dietary protein …

Implications• Individuals aged at least 65 years are a fast-growing segment of the
population.• Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength will continue to have a significant …

Recently there has been much interest in the use of dietary amino acids supplements to
decrease the losses in muscle mass and strength observed after space flight or during aging …

On the basis of recent work, we propose a novel and specific dietary approach to prevent or
slow down muscle loss with ageing. Rather than recommending a large, global increase in …

The age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is caused, at least in part, by a
reduced muscle protein synthetic response to protein ingestion. The magnitude and duration …
