Increased fracture risk represents an emerging and severe complication of diabetes. The
resulting prolonged immobility and hospitalisations can lead to substantial morbidity and …

Sarcopenia is a generalised skeletal muscle disorder characterised by reduced muscle
strength and mass and associated with a range of negative health outcomes. Currently …

The human ageing process is universal, ubiquitous and inevitable. Every physiological
function is being continuously diminished. There is a range between two distinct phenotypes …

As aging continues to grow in our society, sarcopenia and associated fall risk is considered
a public health problem since falling is the third cause of chronic disability. Falls are …

Background Physical exercise is an effective strategy for preserving functional capacity and
improving the symptoms of frailty in older adults. In addition to functional gains, exercise is …

Sarcopenia and frailty are age-related syndromes with negative effects on the quality of life
of older people and on public health costs. Although extensive research has been carried …

Physical function (ie, aerobic capacity, gait speed, and muscle strength) has been proposed
as a biomarker of healthy ageing, as it is predictive of adverse health events, disability, and …

Objective: To summarize the best available evidence regarding the effectiveness of
interventions for preventing frailty progression in older adults. Introduction: Frailty is an age …
