“…In the present study, we applied clinical frailty criteria based on self-reported data from individuals aged 65 and older, but there was only a tendency toward an association to a greater risk of recurrent falls (p = 0.06). The association between the lowest tercile of energy intake (less than 21kcal/kg) 35 and a greater risk of falls was also not statistically significant (p = 0.07). There was no significant association with macro and micronutrient intake.…”

“…Studies on the nutritional status of the Chinese elderly population show that the rural elderly suffered from insufficient intakes of protein and many micronutrients, as these levels were far below the recommended dietary allowances (Side et al, 1991;Shi et al, 2015). Poor nutrition is strongly associated with adverse health outcomes, such as frailty, morbidity, cognitive impairment, depression, and mortality (Cederholm et al, 1995;Ortega et al, 1997;Bartali et al, 2006;Woo et al, 2006). Table 7 shows that pension status and income have significantly improved individuals' perceived financial sufficiency related to daily expenses.…”

Using this policy experiment, we address the endogeneity of pension income by applying a fixed-effect model with instrumental variable correction. The results reveal that pension enrollment and income from the NRPS both have had a beneficial impact on objective measures of physical health, cognitive function, and psychological well-being of the rural elderly, and also reduced mortality over a three-year horizon by 6 percentage points. Evidence further suggests that pension recipients respond to the new pension income in multiple ways: improved nutrition intake, better accessibility to health care, increased informal care, increased leisure activities, and better self-perceived relative economic situation. These in turn act as channels from pension income to health of the Chinese rural elderly. JEL Classification:H55, I12, I38, J14

Sarcopenia is the progressive generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function which occurs as a consequence of aging. With a growing older population, there has been great interest in developing approaches to counteract the effects of sarcopenia, and thereby reduce the age-related decline and disability. This paper reviews (1) the mechanisms of sarcopenia, (2) the diagnosis of sarcopenia, and (3) the potential interventions for sarcopenia. Multiple factors appear to be involved in the development of sarcopenia including the loss of muscle mass and muscle fibers, increased inflammation, altered hormonal levels, poor nutritional status, and altered renin-angiotensin system. The lack of diagnostic criteria to identify patients with sarcopenia hinders potential management options. To date, pharmacological interventions have shown limited efficacy in counteracting the effects of sarcopenia. Recent evidence has shown benefits with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; however, further randomized controlled trials are required. Resistance training remains the most effective intervention for sarcopenia; however, older people maybe unable or unwilling to embark on strenuous exercise training programs.

Low Nutrient Intake Is an Essential Component of Frailty in Older Persons

Abstract: This study provides evidence that low intakes of energy and selected nutrients are independently associated with frailty.
