Abstract

Sarcopenia, characterized by an age-associated decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength/function, is associated with multiple adverse clinical outcomes. Dietary nutrition and exercise interventions are effective ways to prevent and improve sarcopenia. Therefore, Huadong Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, Shanghai Elderly Nutrition and Health Quality Control Center, together with the Geriatric Nutrition Branch of China Nutrition Society convened experts from nutrition, geriatrics, sports medicine, rehabilitation medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and general practice medicine to jointly set up a working group to supplement and revise the 2015 edition of China Expert Consensus on Nutrition and Exercise Intervention for Sarcopenia based on evidence-based medicine evidence in the past ten years to form this consensus. The aim is to provide practical guidelines to prevent and treat the disease.
