Because of the increase of the proportion of elderly in the population, sarcopenia-related morbidity will become an increasing area of health care resource utilization.Diagnostic screening consists of individuation of body composition, assessed by DEXA, anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, MRI, or CT scan. Management is possible with resistance training exercise and vibration therapy, nutritional supplements, and pharmacological treatment.The book includes articles from different nationalities, treating the experimental and medical applications of sarcopenia. The consequences of sarcopenia in frailty are treated in relation to other associated pathologies or lesions, as femoral neck fractures and hepatocellular carcinoma.Medicinebicsscmuscle-masssleep efficiencysleep durationinsomniasarcopeniaquality of lifeosteoporosispostmenopausal womensedentary behaviouragedexercisemotivationhepatomamyokinedecorinwalking distancesurvivalmuscle strengthresistance trainingrandomized controlled trialnutritional statusnutritional screening toolshospitalized older patientsresistance exercise trainingmuscle regulatory factorsdeconditioningskeletal muscleelderlyhypertrophymultimorbiditypolypathological patientsfrailtyoxidative stresstelomere lengthapoptosisspirometryureafatiguerespiratory systemskeletal muscleslipidstransaminasesfallsresistance exercisevibrationelectrical stimulationhip fracturediagnosistreatmentpreventiondual-energy X-ray absorptiometrybisphosphonateβ-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrateexercise interventionfall riskbalanceanxietydepressionsleep qualitytype 2 diabetesphysical activitymuscle massprotein intakeaccelerometeraerobic exercise trainingmitochondriaendurancefracturesageing fracturescomplicationsrecoveryrehabilitationnutritional supplementsphysical therapycognitionbrain-body cross-talkolder personsprevalencephysical functional performanceepidemiologic studiesagingpanoramic ultrasoundechogenicityspecific forceisokinetic dynamometrymuscle qualitystrengtholder adultsdiagnostic criteriaclinicalMedicineTesta Gianlucaedt1290179Testa GianlucaothBOOK9910557345903321Prevention and Treatment of Sarcopenia3021394UNINA
