Context Sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder associated
with an increased risk of adverse outcomes such as falls, disability, and death. The Belgian …

Aging is associated with progressive loss of neuromuscular function that often leads to
progressive disability and loss of independence. The term sarcopenia is now commonly …

Background: aging process is associated with changes in muscle mass and strength with
decline of muscle strength after the 30th life year. The aim of this study was to investigate …

The slow and continuous loss of muscle mass that progresses with aging is defined as
“sarcopenia”. Sarcopenia represents an important public health problem, being closely …

Using an integrative approach, this review highlights the benefits of resistance training
toward improvements in functional status, health and quality of life among older adults …

Aging has been associated with a loss of muscle mass that is referred to as 'sarcopenia'.
This decrease in muscle tissue begins around the age of 50 years, but becomes more …

Low muscle strength is associated with mortality, presumably as a result of low muscle mass
(sarcopenia) and physical inactivity. Grip strength was longitudinally collected in 1071 men …

Loss of cells from the motor system occurs during the normal aging process, leading to
reduction in the complement of motor neurons and muscle fibers. The latter age‐related …

FOXO1, a member of the FOXO forkhead type transcription factors, is markedly up-regulated
in skeletal muscle in energy-deprived states such as fasting and severe diabetes, but its …

Skeletal muscle loss or sarcopenia in aging has been suggested in cross-sectional studies
but has not been shown in elderly subjects using appropriate measurement techniques …
