Abstract
Sarcopenia, the involuntary decrease in muscle mass with aging, is associated with loss of strength and function, eventually leading to loss of independence.1-4 The reduction in lean body mass also may contribute to the development of metabolic alterations, such as diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis.1,5Keywords
