There is a growing body of evidence that links nutrition to muscle mass, strength and
function in older adults, suggesting that it has an important role to play both in the prevention …

Frailty and sarcopenia are important concepts in the quest to prevent physical dependence,
as geriatrics are shifting towards identifications of early stages of disability. Definitions of …

In recent decades, the significance of diet and dietary patterns (DPs) for skeletal muscle
health has been gaining attention in ageing and nutritional research. Sarcopenia, a muscle …

The reduced muscle mass and impaired muscle performance that define sarcopenia in older
individuals are associated with increased risk of physical limitation and a variety of chronic …

Dynapenia (pronounced dahy-nuh-pē-nē-a, Greek translation for poverty of strength, power,
or force) is the age-associated loss of muscle strength that is not caused by neurologic or …

The concept of frailty as a medically distinct syndrome has evolved based on the clinical
experience of geriatricians and is clinically well recognizable. Frailty is a nonspecific state of …

Age-related loss of muscle mass and force (sarcopenia) contributes to disability and
increased mortality. Ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1) is the skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic …

Muscle strength plays an important role in determining risk for falls, which result in fractures
