Managing Sarcopenia and Its Related-Fractures to Improve Quality of Life in Geriatric Populations [PDF]

, 2014
Sarcopenia, an aging-induced generalized decrease in muscle mass, strength, and function, is known to affect elderly individuals by decreasing mobile function and increasing frailty and imbalance that lead to falls and fragile fractures.
