R.P.G. Hayhoe, M.A.H. Lentjes, A.A. Mulligan, et al.

Clin Nutr.38(1):317-323

This study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary and circulating magnesium on skeletal muscle mass in a UK population of 14,340 middle to older-aged men and women participating in the EPIC-Norfolk cohort study.

Biological Processes and Biomarkers Related to Frailty in Older Adults: A State-of-the-Science Literature Review

J. Wang, C.A. Maxwell, F. Yu

Biol Res Nurs. 2019;21(1):80-106

The objectives of this literature review were to (1) synthesize biological processes linked to frailty and their corresponding biomarkers and (2) identify potential associations among these processes and biomarkers.

Relationship between nutritional status and frailty in hospitalized older patients

X. Hong, J. Yan, L. Xu, et al.

Clin Interv Aging. 2019;14:105-111

The definition of frailty still lacks quantitative biomarkers. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nutrition-related biomarkers and frailty in hospitalized older patients.

Epidemiology of Sarcopenia and Factors Associated With It Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Taiwan

Y.H. Kuo, T.F. Wang, L.K. Liu, et al.

Am J Med Sci. 2019;357(2):124-133

Sarcopenia is a well-recognized geriatric syndrome. We sought to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia and factors associated with it among community-dwelling older adults in Taiwan.

Decreased Basal Metabolic Rate Can Be an Objective Marker for Sarcopenia and Frailty in Older Males

P. Soysal, E. Ates Bulut, I. Yavuz, et al.

J Am Med Dir Assoc. 2019;20(1):58-63

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the basal metabolic rate (BMR) to detect frailty and sarcopenia in older males.

Dietary Factors Associated with Frailty in Old Adults: A Review of Nutritional Interventions to Prevent Frailty Development

J.J. Hernández Morante, C. Gómez Martínez, J.M. Morillas-Ruiz

Nutrients. 2019;11(1). pii: E102. doi: 10.3390/nu11010102

As the population ages, the need for specialised geriatric care will increase immensely, and consequently, the need for specialised services for the care of these people will increase accordingly. From a nutritional point of view, to control or balance the nutritional status of residents will be essential in order to prevent sarcopenia and, consequently, frailty development.
