Molecular Mechanism and Treatment Strategies

About this book

Sarcopenia: Molecular Mechanism and Treatment Strategies provides answers and guidance on a disease that has serious health consequences in terms of fractures, frailty, disability and diminished quality of life. Written by experts around the world, this book is for all those that care for aging populations. As the global population ages, sarcopenia remains a therapeutic challenge and major public health concern. Difficulties in defining sarcopenia as a clinical phenotype remain and have hindered treatment. - Covers physical, dietary and pharmacological strategies to maintain adequate muscle mass to ensure healthy aging - Provides a complete and up-to-date reference on molecular mechanisms of sarcopenia - Presents a clear definition of sarcopenia, along with the latest research in one volume
