The Current Understanding of Sarcopenia [PDF]
The purpose of this review is to provide health practitioners and physicians the most current state of the research on sarcopenia, its consequences, and to offer a summary of consensus guidelines for identification based on the most recent and compelling investigations and analyses. To accomplish this, the causes and consequences of sarcopenia will be

Scoping review protocol on nonpharmacological interventions for possible sarcopenia or sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults [PDF]
Abstract Background: Preventing sarcopenia earlier in community has become a new recommendation in recent years. Several nonpharmacological interventions to reduce the risk of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older people have been proposed, therefore there is a need to identify which of these interventions are effective.
