Brief Summary:
This is an empirical study, which aims to examine the effect of a 12-week combined exercise-nutrition intervention in older adults with sarcopenia and to provide data for clinical and policy decision-making of sarcopenia. The study conducts the combined exercise-nutrition intervention that was previously carried out as a randomized controlled trial. Hand grip strength, gait speed, knee extensor muscle power, physical performance, muscle mass using DEXA, quality of life, activities of daily living, sarcopenia screening questionnaire, nutritional assessment will be evaluated on baseline, 12-weeks and 24-weeks after intervention.
Detailed Description:
The definition of sarcopenia is age-related loss of skeletal muscle and physical functions. Sarcopenia is emerging health problem and increases medical expenditure as the population ages. Sarcopenia is closely related to chronic diseases and geriatric diseases. In particular, patients with metabolic syndrome showed a high prevalence of muscle loss and muscle weakness. It has been reported exercise in sarcopenia patients not only improved insulin sensitivity and physical performance but also helped the treatment of the diseases. Also, it has recently demonstrated that combined exercise-nutrition intervention improved muscle function in elderly patients. However, the standard protocol for the combined exercise-nutrition intervention has not been established yet. Therefore, this study aims to see the effects of a 12-week combined exercise-nutrition intervention in sarcopenia patients.
