Frequency of sarcopenia, nutritional status and risk factors

Více o knize

Sarcopenia is a multifactorial syndrome in older adults marked by progressive muscle loss and strength decline, leading to significant health issues and reduced quality of life. Its development is influenced by various factors, including inflammation, malnutrition, hormonal changes, and physical inactivity. While its prevalence rises with age, lifestyle choices play a crucial role in its progression. Effective treatment involves combining physical activity to enhance muscle mass and a protein-rich diet to counteract age-related muscle decline.
