Risk for or established malnutrition is frequent in older adults, accompanied by functional
limitations, increased morbidity and mortality. Protein-energy malnutrition is often observed …

Objective To examine the effects of stepping interventions on fall risk factors and fall
incidence in older people. Data source Electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL …

Sarcopenia, the age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, has considerable
societal consequences for the development of frailty, disability, and health care planning. A …

Background. Weakness is common and contributes to disability, but no consensus exists
regarding a strength cutpoint to identify persons at high risk. This analysis, conducted as part …

In 2008, we published an article arguing that the age-related loss of muscle strength is only
partially explained by the reduction in muscle mass and that other physiologic factors …

Preventing or delaying the onset of physical frailty is an increasingly important goal because
more individuals are living well into their 8th and 9th decades. We describe the development …

ContextPoor muscle strength, functional limitations, and disability often coexist, but whether
muscle strength during midlife predicts old age functional ability is not known. ObjectiveTo …

Objectives: To compare two sarcopenia definitions and examine the relationship between
them and lower extrem‐ity function and other health related factors using data from the …

Background The physiological impairments most strongly associated with functional
performance in older people are logically the most efficient therapeutic targets for exercise …

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether calf circumference (CC), related to appendicular
skeletal muscle mass, can be used as a measure of sarcopenia and is related to physical …
