5. Sarcopenia and a new approach to interventions
SA SARCO COPE PENIA IA o Decline in basal energy expenditure o Reduced insulin sensitivity o Reduced muscle strength o Reduced physical performance o Increased risk for falls o Increased health-related expenses o Increased morbidity o Increased mortality Adapted from: Dr. OMAR JALUUL Fried LP, Hadley EC, Walston JD, et al. 2005.

Prevention and treatment strategies PREVENTION: Adopt a meal-based approach to protein consumption Consume a moderate amount of high-quality protein, 3-times per day Consume protein in close proximity to exercise
Prevention and treatment strategies TREATMENT: React aggressively with nutritional support to reduce the rapid loss of muscle and strength associated with physical inactivity, illness or injury
