Abstract:

Sarcopenia is a disease with the gradual loss of muscle and resulting in decreased muscle strength and motor function. More and more studies have shown that sarcopenia is a major risk factor for adverse outcomes in the elderly. Therefore, early identification and diagnosis and timely effective interventions are the key to maintain the body function, reducing or postponing negative health-related events, and ensure the quality of life of the elderly. This article reviews the relevant literature on sarcopenia in the past decade and focuses on the new progress in diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia, in order to provide help for further understanding and early diagnosis and implementation of individualized comprehensive treatment of sarcopenia.

Key words: Sarcopenia, Diagnosis, Treatment
