Sarcopenia is a potentially modifiable risk factor for falls and fractures in older adults, but the
strength of the association between sarcopenia, falls, and fractures is unclear. This study …

Sarcopenia is the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with advancing age. It involves
both complex genetic and modifiable risk factors, such as lack of exercise, malnutrition and …

Methods We aimed to prospectively examine individual and joint associations of low muscle
mass and low muscle strength with all-cause mortality in a nationally representative sample …

Background: Frailty and sarcopenia are common age-related conditions associated with
adverse outcomes. Physical activity has been identified as a potential preventive strategy for …

Background At least one‐third of community‐dwelling people over 65 years of age fall each

It is unclear whether the combined effects of exercise and nutrition are better than those of
exercise alone or nutrition alone in older adults with sarcopenia. This paper assesses the …

Sarcopenia and obesity are common conditions in older adults that may have differing
effects on falls and fracture risk. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to …

By the year 2030 in the United States, more than 20% of the population will be more than 65
years of age 1 (Fig. 1), up from 15% of the population now. 2 The fastest growing …

Background Recent investigations suggest that obesity may be associated with an
increased risk of falls; however, this theory has yet to be definitively confirmed. This …
