Sarcopenia, an age-related decline in muscle mass and function, is affecting the
older population worldwide. Sarcopenia is associated with poor health outcomes,
such as falls, disability, loss of independence, and mortality; however it is
potentially treatable if recognized and intervened early. Over the last two
decades, there has been significant expansion of research in this area. Currently
there is international recognition of a need to identify the condition early for
intervention and prevention of the disastrous consequences of sarcopenia if left
untreated. There are currently various screening tools proposed. As yet, there is
no consensus on the best tool. Effective interventions of sarcopenia include
physical exercise and nutrition supplementation. This review paper examined the
screening tools and interventions for sarcopenia.
