7.Effect of nutritional intervention on muscle protein synthesis in elderly people: a systematic review
Chinese Journal of Health Management 2017;11(1):34-39
Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalised loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength with a risk of adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poor quality of life and increasing risk of infection and mortality. Inadequate intake of nutrients (especially protein) might block muscle protein synthesis, and accelerate age-related sarcopenia progress. Age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass as well as muscle functions has been regarded as major health issues in elderly people. The domestic and foreign literature related to impact of nutritional intervention on muscle protein synthesis and muscle functions in elderly people were retrieved to evaluate the effect of nutritional intervention on muscle protein synthesis and muscle functions in elderly people.
