Sex differences in the effect of fish-oil supplementation on the adaptive response to resistance exercise training in older people: a randomized controlled trial

M. Da Boit, R. Sibson, S. Sivasubramaniam, et al.

Am J Clin Nutr. 2017;105(1):151-158

Long-chain n-3 PUFA supplementation augments the increases in muscle function and quality in older women but not in older men after resistance exercise training.

Prevalence of muscle weakness based on different diagnostic criteria in community-dwelling older adults: a comparison of grip strength dynamometers

M. Kim and S. Shinkai

Geriatr Gerontol Int. 2017;17(11):2089-2095

The present study compared the performance of the Jamar and Smedley dynamometers for the measurement of grip strength, and the two dynamometers were used to determine the prevalence rate of weakness in a large, community-dwelling, older adult population, based on different diagnostic criteria.

Resveratrol enhances exercise-induced cellular and functional adaptations of skeletal muscle in older men and women

S.E. Alway, J.L. McCrory, K. Kearcher, et al.

J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2017;72(12):1595-1606

Data obtained indicate a novel anabolic role of resveratrol in exercise-induced adaptations of older persons and this suggests that resveratrol combined with exercise might provide a better approach for reversing sarcopenia than exercise alone.

 

Vitamin B12 deficiency might be related to sarcopenia in older adults

E.A. Bulut, P. Soysal, A.E. Aydin, et al.

Exp Gerontol. 2017; 95:136-140

The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between vitamin B12 deficiency and sarcopenia in older adults.

 

Benefits of resistance training in physically frail elderly: a systematic review

P. Lopez, R.S. Pinto, R. Radaelli, et al.

Aging Clin Exp Res. 2017 Nov 29. doi: 10.1007/s40520-017-0863-z. [Epub ahead of print]

Exercise is one of the most important components in frailty prevention and treatment. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the effect of resistance training (RT) alone or combined with multimodal exercise intervention on muscle hypertrophy, maximal strength, power output, functional performance, and falls incidence in physically frail elderly.

 

 

The Martin Vigorimeter Represents a Reliable and More Practical Tool Than the Jamar Dynamometer to Assess Handgrip Strength in the Geriatric Patient

W.M. Sipers, L.B. Verdijk, S.J. Sipers, et al.

J Am Med Dir Assoc. 2016;17(5):466

The loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function with age are contributing risk factors for the onset of sarcopenia, frailty, osteoporosis, fractures, and mortality. For the first time in a northern European population, it has been observed a significant positive association between the Mediterranean diet score and FFM% (fat-free mass / weight × 100) and leg explosive power (LEP, watts/kg) in healthy women that are potentially clinically relevant, independent of the factors known to influence muscle outcomes. These findings emphasize the potential role for overall diet quality based on the Mediterranean diet in the prevention of age-related loss of skeletal muscle outcomes.
