“…Nutritional intake is one of the most important modulators in human health, and an inadequate balance between intake and expenditure is the main cause of malnutrition [14] and nutrition-related diseases [13,15]. The association between a poor balanced diet with reduced micro and macronutrients and the presence of sarcopenia at baseline in community-dwelling older people has been recently described by our research group [16].…”

“…For example, postmenopausal women undergoing estrogen-based hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to alleviate the symptoms associated with menopause have greater muscle mass and strength compared to women not undergoing HRT treatment [5][6][7][8]. Maintaining muscle function through nutritional strategies has also been an area of intense research [9] with considerable focus on fish oil. Fish oil contains n-3PUFA that are known to improve muscle strength, particularly in older women [10,11].…”

“…The typical Western diet and lifestyle promotes several chronic diseases including the components of osteosarcopenic obesity, by facilitating a pro-inflammatory state, largely via the imbalance in omega-6/omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) ratio and low-fibre and high-processed food consumption [57], which is linked to a higher risk of frailty and fractures [58,59]. A Western pattern diet is linked to a higher risk of sarcopenia in menopausal women as compared with a Mediterranean pattern diet (high in low-fat dairy, vegetable, fish, nut, olive and vegetable oil), which is associated with lower risk [60]. Greater adherence to a Mediterranean pattern diet is associated with less loss of skeletal muscle mass and lean body mass, better physical performance [61], a significant reduction in waist circumference [62], and a lower incidence of frailty [63].…”
