The world population is ageing rapidly. As society ages, the incidence of physical limitations
is dramatically increasing, which reduces the quality of life and increases healthcare …

The growing recognition of sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and
function, has highlighted the need to understand more about its etiology. Declines in muscle …

Background A brief, inexpensive screening test for sarcopenia would be helpful for clinicians
and their patients. To screen for persons with sarcopenia, we developed a simple five‐item …

Background: Interventions to attenuate the adverse effects of age-related loss of skeletal
muscle and function include increased physical activity and nutritional supplementation …

BACKGROUND: The loss of skeletal muscle mass with aging has been attributed to a
decline in muscle fiber number and muscle fiber size. OBJECTIVE: To define to what extent …

The loss of muscle mass and strength with aging results in significant functional impairment.
Creatine supplementation has been used in combination with resistance training as a …

Protein supplementation in combination with resistance training may increase muscle mass
and muscle strength in elderly subjects. The objective of this study was to assess the …

Sarcopenia negatively affects skeletal muscle mass and function in older adults. Omega-3
(ω-3) fatty acid supplementation, with or without resistance exercise training (RET), is …

Muscle physiology in the aging athlete is complex. Sarcopenia, the age-related decrease in
lean muscle mass, can alter activity level and affect quality of life. This review addresses the …

Sarcopenia, defined as the age-related decrease in muscle mass, strength and physical
performance, is associated with reduced bone mass and elevated low-grade inflammation …
