Sarcopenia has a prevalence of 11.6% among the elderly population in China and is closely associated with increased risks of falls, disability, and mortality. Currently, there is a lack of definition criteria for sarcopenia based on biomarkers. The Gut-Muscle Axis hypothesis suggests a complex interplay between gut microbiota and skeletal muscle. Nutritional intervention targeting the gut microbiota potentially plays a significant role in muscle regeneration. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of symbiotic and whey protein on muscle, gut microbiota, and clinical outcomes among sarcopenia patients, to provide a reference for further diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia.', 'detailedDescription': 'This study will last 12 weeks.

During the study visits, questionnaires, blood and stool collection, and functional testing will occur.
