Research progress on the effect of nutrition and exercise intervention on sarcopenia / 公共卫生与预防医学

ABSTRACT

With the aggravation of the aging process of the global population, the prevalence rate of sarcopenia is increasing year by year, which has become an important risk factor threatening the health of the elderly and affecting their quality of life. Currently, drug treatment is still in the stage of clinical trials, and nutritional and exercise interventions remain the mainstay of prevention and treatment of sarcopenia. Nutritional supplementation can help improve malnutrition and chronic inflammation, increase the synthesis rate of muscle protein, overcome age-related anabolic resistance, and maintain muscle mass and strength. Physical exercise has a positive effect on muscle quality, increasing muscle mass, strength and function, and improving mobility. This study aims to review the effects of nutritional supplementation and exercise interventions on the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia, and to provide a scientific basis for the formulation of clinical guidelines for nutrition and exercise interventions in the treatment of sarcopenia.
