Nutrition and exercise play a key role in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia. Due to the multifaceted nature of sarcopenia, the best therapeutic approach is multidisciplinary, requiring collaboration between specialists such as geriatricians, internists, physiatrists, general practitioners, nutritionists, and physiotherapists. This book presents a comprehensive overview of sarcopenia with chapters on physiopathological mechanisms, assessment tools, and rehabilitation activities of the condition in the frail elderly. 606 $aNeuromuscular diseases 606 $aMusculoskeletal system$xDiseases 615 0$aNeuromuscular diseases. 615 0$aMusculoskeletal system$xDiseases. 676 $a616.7 702 $aCseri$b Julianna 702 $aD'Onofrio$b Grazia 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910688182803321 996 $aFrailty and Sarcopenia$92951777 997 $aUNINA
