This book offers a concise and updated guide for all readers
(physicians and non-physicians) interested in gaining a
comprehensive and precise understanding of sarcopenia. Over the
last several years, sarcopenia has increasingly developed from
being a concept known only in research settings to one that is
commonly explored in journals and scientific meetings for various
disciplines, such as geriatrics, rheumatology and rehabilitation
medicine. Thus, all domains of sarcopenia, from molecular aspects
to clinical management, represent highly active areas of research
and clinical practice for health professionals in a variety of
fields, including geriatric medicine, nutrition, and epidemiology.
Despite being a relatively new concept in medicine, sarcopenia is
increasingly being recognized as an important determinant of other
health conditions, including mortality and disability. This book,
written by experts from around the globe, covers several core
aspects of sarcopenia management, from molecular mechanisms to
genetics, epidemiology, diagnosis and finally treatment, including
the clinical impact of sarcopenia as a risk factor, the known
genetic and molecular aspects that can aid in predicting
sarcopenia, and selected treatment and therapy concepts, including
indications for nutrition and physical exercise. Sharing data from
the latest studies, it will be of considerable interest not only
for geriatricians, but also for a wide range of other readers.
