Recently, the terms frailty and sarcopenia have been used frequently. Frailty, which occurs due to age-related physiological changes in multiple systems, is accepted as one of the geriatric syndromes. In frailty, negative energy balance, decreased strength, slowed walking speed, decreased grip ...
Although nutrition surveys may be carried out regularly in several countries, surveys are mainly carried out for the general adult population rather than specifically among the elderly population, and little data is available relating to the impact of nutrition on sarcopenia and frailty. There is an...
The concepts of physical frailty and sarcopenia are now accepted as important geriatric syndromes (1–4). To enhance the recognition of these syndromes rapid screening tests, i.e., FRAIL and SARC-F, have been developed (5–12). Recently, it has been suggested that “oral frailty” should b...

This loss of muscle mass often leads to diminished strength and decreased activity levels and can contribute to mobility issues, osteoporosis, falls and fractures, frailty, and loss of physical function and independence.2...

The present chapter aims at raising the awareness about: The frequent prevalence of the geriatric syndrome, which includes frailty, sarcopenia and malnutrition. The importance of a very early screening upon ICU admission. The importance of assessing the remaining muscle mass (lean body mass). The ...
