Summary

Sarcopenia is a wasting disease with the locomotion system in the aged population. It is defined as the decline in muscle mass (lean body mass) and strength with the advance of age. The prevalence of sarcopenia increases with age, reaching an astounding 50% among the population aged over 75 in the United States. Sarcopenia is often associated with frailty, falls, and disability. Studies have found sarcopenia can be a predicting risk factor for fractures in the elderly. In addition, sarcopenia predicted a higher chance of mortality in nursing homes.
