Abstract

Existe una creciente evidencia científica de la asociación entre nutrición, masa muscular, fuerza y función en pacientes ancianos, que sugiere la importancia de la nutrición en la prevención y el tratamiento de la sarcopenia. Esta revisión resume la reunión llevada a cabo por el grupo de trabajo ESCEO el 08/09/2016 para discutir la evidencia científica y el papel del aporte proteico y el ejercicio físico como estímulo anabólico para la síntesis de proteínas. Sin embargo, gran cantidad de esta evidencia proviene de estudios observacionales realizados en países con ingresos altos. Se necesitan ensayos clínicos con poblaciones más diversas para terminar de entender la cantidad y la duración de los efectos del aporte de nutrientes en la función, con el fin de poder definir patrones de ingesta en pacientes ancianos.

There is growing scientific evidence of the association between nutrition, muscle mass, strength, and function in elderly patients, suggesting the importance of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia. This review summarizes the meeting held by the ESCEO working group on 09/08/2016 to discuss the scientific evidence and the role of protein intake and physical exercise as an anabolic stimulus for protein synthesis. However, much of this evidence comes from observational studies conducted in high-income countries. Clinical trials with more diverse populations are needed to fully understand the amount and duration of the effects of nutrient intake on function, in order to be able to define intake patterns in elderly patients.
