Abstract

Sarcopenia is the generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function which occurs as a consequence of aging. There has been a great interest in developing approaches to counteract the effects of sarcopenia, and thereby reduce the age-related decline and disability. 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. This article reviews non-pharmacologic management strategy and practice for sarcopenia, especially focused on resistance exercise and nutritional supplement.
