B. Davies, F. García, I. Ara, et al.J Am Med Dir Assoc. 2018;19(4):282-286 Frailty and sarcopenia are distinct but related conditions. Sarcopenia is not a useful clinical biomarker of frailty, but its absence might be useful to exclude frailty.

S. Verlaan, A.B. Maier, J.M. Bauer, et al.Clin Nutr. 2018;37(2):551-557 This study wants to test if baseline serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and dietary protein intake influenced changes in muscle mass and function in older adults who received nutritional intervention.

C.D. Chang, J.S. Wu, J.N. Mhuircheartaigh, et al.Skeletal Radiol. 2018;47(6):771-777 In proximal femur fractures, elderly patients with sarcopenia are more likely to have prolonged hospitalization following surgery and require more blood transfusion volume during the perioperative period.

S. Bhasin, C.M. Apovian, T.G. Travison, et al.JAMA Intern Med. 2018;178(4):530-541 This study aimed at investigating whether increasing protein intake to 1.3 g/kg/d in older adults with physical function limitations compared with usual protein intake within the RDA (0.8 g/kg/d) improves lean body mass (LBM), muscle performance, physical function, fatigue, and well-being and augments LBM response to a muscle anabolic drug.

R.M. Henderson, M.E. Miller, R.A. Fielding, et al.J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci. 2018;73(5):688-694 Structured physical activity interventions delay the onset of disability for at-risk older adults. However, it is not known if at-risk older adults continue to participate in physical activity or maintain mobility benefits after cessation of structured intervention.

M. Pourhassan, K. Norman, M.J. Müller, et al.J Frailty Aging. 2018;7(1):40-46 The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between sarcopenia and 1-year mortality in a prospectively recruited sample of geriatric inpatients with different mobility and dependency status.
