Abstract
#Sarcopenia is the progressive involution of #musculature, with a
decrease of power and with limitation of physical and cognitive
functions, including isolation, loss of independence and impairment of
the quality of life. It is a gerontology syndrome, a component of
age-related frailty. Because of the #dismobility there is a hazard of
falls and fractures with a significant #mortality risk. This article
reviews the relation of sarcopenia to aging, definition and epidemiology
and #pathophysiology of sarcopenia with publications and recommendations
for screening, diagnostic tools and #therapeutic modalities.
