Impact of nutrition on muscle mass, strength, and performance in older adults

“…Mithal et al, also provide evidence for the potential benefit of alkali-producing diets and those high in antioxidants in attenuating sarcopenia progression (1). Our finding that higher baseline dietary potassium intake was a positive predictor of change in ALM, even after adjustment for protein intake, is supportive of other research suggesting that alkaline diets may have a role in maintenance of muscle mass in older adults (5).…”

“…The recent review by Mithal et al, (1) highlights the increasing attention given to the role of adequate nutrition in ameliorating the age-related decline of skeletal muscle mass and function in older adults, known as sarcopenia. The authors identify protein and vitamin D as important factors in the maintenance of muscle mass during ageing, and the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) have encouraged a focus on these nutrients in particular in their recommendations for future research (2).…”

The healthy Nordic diet predicts muscle strength 10 years later in old women, but not old men

“…In addition, adherence to the healthy Nordic diet is related to high intake of several antioxidants, including β-carotene and vitamin C and E [21]. Several studies have reported associations between low antioxidants level and greater risk of developing poor muscle strength [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

“…Some nutrients have been shown to be linked with muscle strength and mass, including protein, vitamin D and the antioxidants β-carotene, vitamin E and vitamin C [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. As the diet contains several foods and nutrients that interact with each other, the results of the associations between single nutrient and functioning may be confusing and difficult to interpret.…”

“…Dietas ricas em vegetais produtores de álcalis, potássio e bicarbonato, porém, pobres em alimentos produtores de compostos ácidos, associam-se a preservação de MME e redução de excreção de nitrogênio em idosos 80 . Em maiores de 50 anos, bicarbonato melhorou força e desempenho musculares nas mulheres, mas não em homens; excreção nitrogenada foi reduzida em ambos sexos 81 .…”
