“…However, there were no intervention studies examining the effect of antioxidant-rich foods on sarcopenia [35 & ]. The lack of intervention studies with whole foods for muscle health was also noted in a recent review of individual trials, large observational studies, and meta-analyses investigating lifestyle factors in prevention of sarcopenia published in the last 10 years (2011-2022) [36].…”

“…Regardless of differences across the studies, the majority of participants (>50%) had at least one or more conditions, typical for older adults living in the community [41]. Other evidence presented here was collated from recent narrative and systematic reviews with meta-analyses [7,9 ▪▪ ,35 ▪ ,36], highlighting the dominance of cross-sectional studies, heterogeneity of intervention studies with whole foods, and the lack of interventions for treatment of sarcopenia.…”

Purpose of review Sarcopenia increases in prevalence at older ages and may be exacerbated by poor diet. Whole foods rich in specific nutrients may be myoprotective and mitigate the risk of sarcopenia. Here we review recent evidence published from observational and intervention studies regarding myoprotective foods and explore their benefit for the prevention and/or treatment of sarcopenia in older adults. Recent findings We found limited new evidence for the role of whole foods in sarcopenia and sarcopenia components (muscle mass, strength, physical performance). There was some evidence for higher consumption of protein-rich foods (milk and dairy) being beneficial for muscle strength in observational and intervention studies. Higher consumption of antioxidant-rich foods (fruit and vegetables) was associated with better physical performance and lower odds of sarcopenia in observational studies. Evidence for other protein- and antioxidant-rich foods were inconsistent or lacking. There remains a clear need for intervention studies designed to identify the role of whole foods for the treatment of sarcopenia. Summary Although evidence for myoprotective roles of dairy, fruit and vegetables is emerging from observational studies, higher level evidence from intervention studies is needed for these foods to be recommended in diets of older adults to prevent and/or treat sarcopenia.

“…Several cross-sectional studies in Asia have linked malnutrition and sarcopenia and suggested early identi cation of associated risk factors in older adults 8,26 . There is also growing evidence that nutritional status may be a modi able risk factor for the development of muscle health problems, including sarcopenia [26][27][28] .…”

Background: Sarcopenia, defined as the loss of muscle mass and strength, has been associated with increased hospitalization and mortality. Due to different diagnostic criteria and target populations, the prevalence of sarcopenia varies greatly. Dietary pattern analysis is a whole diet approach used to investigate the relationship between diet and sarcopenia. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia and explore possible factors associated with it among a large population in Beijing, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 1059 participants aged more than 50 years was performed. Sarcopenia was defined based on the guidelines of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia. The total score of the MNA-SF questionnaire was used to analyse nutrition status. The baseline demographic information, diet structure and eating habits were collected by clinicians trained in questionnaire data collection and anthropometric and bioimpedance measurements. Results: The overall prevalence of sarcopenia was 8.8% and increased with age: 5%, 5.8%, 10.3% and 26.2% in the 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, and ≥80 years groups, respectively. Marital status (with or withouta spouse) was not an independent factor associated with sarcopenia orincome status. However, nutritional risk or malnutrition, vegetable diet, advanced age and spicy eating habits were risk factors for sarcopenia. Meanwhile, daily fruit, dairy and nut consumption were protective factors against sarcopenia. Conclusions: Although further studies are required to explorethe association between healthy dietary patterns and the risk of sarcopenia, the present study would help to provide basic data for establishing dietary guidelines for the prevention of sarcopenia in Chinese elderly individuals.
