Abstract

La población anciana está aumentando rápidamente en todo el mundo y nos enfrentamos al importante desafío de mantener o mejorar la actividad física, la independencia y la calidad de vida. La sarcopenia o disminución de la masa muscular esquelética relacionada con la edad, se caracteriza por la pérdida de la cantidad y la calidad del músculo, lo que da como resultado una ralentización gradual del movimiento, una disminución de la fuerza y la potencia, un riesgo elevado de lesiones relacionadas con caídas y, a menudo, fragilidad. Se han intentado enfoques complementarios, hormonales y farmacológicos para ate-nuar la sarcopenia, pero estos no han logrado resultados sobresalientes. En esta revisión, resumimos el conocimiento actual de las terapias basadas en la nutrición para contrarrestar la sarcopenia.

 

Elderly population is increasing rapidly worldwide, and we are faced with the significant challenge for maintaining or improving physical activity, independence, and quality of life. Sarcopenia, the age-related decline of skeletal muscle mass, is characterized by loss of muscle quantity and quality resulting in a gradual slowing of movement, a decrease in strength and power, elevated risk of fall-related injury, and often frailty. Supplemental, hormonal, and pharmacological approaches have been attempted to attenu-ate sarcopenia, but these have not achieved outstanding results. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of nutrition-based therapies for counteracting sarcopenia.
