“…The EWGSOP selected BIA as it is the most valid, reliable and feasible method of measuring muscle mass within field settings [29]. However, compared to dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, BIA may overestimate muscle mass, leading to an underestimation of the prevalence of sarcopenia [29,30]. Due to the extent of missing data on disease status and medications during data collection, this data was considered unreliable and not included in the logistic regression analyses.…”

“…Despite the original, strict definition of sarcopenia, more recent classifications have incorporated various indices of muscle performance (e.g., strength) or mobility function (e.g., gait speed), apparently in an effort to build clinical relevance and diagnostic criteria. However, the introduction of functional correlates has only confused the diagnosis (Beaudart et al, 2015; Beaudart et al, 2014a); thus we have elected to describe the phenomenon as simply ‘aging muscle atrophy’.…”

Exercise Promotes Healthy Aging of Skeletal Muscle

Primary aging is the progressive and inevitable process of bodily deterioration during adulthood. In skeletal muscle, primary aging causes defective mitochondrial energetics, and reduced muscle mass. Secondary aging refers to additional deleterious structural and functional age-related changes caused by diseases and lifestyle factors. Secondary aging can exacerbate deficits in mitochondrial function and muscle mass, concomitant with the development of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Exercise opposes deleterious effects of secondary aging by preventing the decline in mitochondrial respiration, mitigating aging-related loss of muscle mass and enhancing insulin sensitivity. This review focuses on mechanisms by which exercise promotes “healthy aging” by inducing modifications in skeletal muscle.

“…Thus, the progressively increasing cohort of older people with SO are at particular risk of negative health impact such as loss of independence, disability and increased morbidity and mortality [2]. Although the relevance of this Bgeriatric syndrome^is considered to be high, its prevalence in older persons living in the community is unclear and may depend on different Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity definitions and approaches [1,3].…”
