MUSCULOSKELETAL CONDITIONS: SARCOPENIA Sarcopenia 1 Overview 2 Management Interventions 3 Future Implications 1 Sarcopenia: Overview Sarcopenia: Overview The number of adults aged 65 years and older is projected to double in size by 2060 (Vespa et al., 2020) Life expectancy for the total population is projected to rise from 79.7 years in 2017 to 85.6 years in 2060 (Medina et al., 2018). 85% of adults aged 65 years and older have at least one chronic disease (National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, 2022) “No decline with age is more dramatic or potentially more functionally significant than the decline in lean body mass.

Loss of muscle strength occurs around 60 years of age Decreased physical performance (gait Muscle strength is lost at a rate of 3–4% speed) occurs around 70 years of age per year in men and 2.5–3% per year in women over 75 years of age Alcazar et al., 2021 Mitchell et al., 2012 Sarcopenia: Prevalence and Financial Trends 9.9-40.4% $40 billion The burden of sarcopenia-associated Prevalence of sarcopenia in disability with regards to hospitalizations community-dwelling older adults in a five year period (Mayhew et al., 2019) (Goates et al., 2019) $65/487 billion 34% The projected amount of savings by Increase in hospital costs for sarcopenia reducing the severity of sarcopenia in patients aged 65 years and older older adults by 2040 (MacEwan et al., (Sousa et al., 2016) 2018) Sarcopenia: Etiology Impact on health outcomes Chronic disease Falls and fractures Mortality Patient-reported outcomes Sarcopenia: Impact on Health Outcomes Yeung et al.

Specificity A greater than habitual stress or load on the body is needed to induce adaptation. Progression A gradual and systematic increase in stress placed on the body is necessary to induce continual training adaptation over time. Effects of Resistance Training on Muscle Size and Strength in Very Elderly Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (Grgic et al., 2020) Very elderly adults (over 75 years of age)can increase their muscle strength and size by participating in resistance training programs. These effects were observed with resistance training interventions that generally included low weekly training volumes and frequencies. There were minimal reports of adverse events associated with the training programs. Sarcopenia: Aerobic, balance & flexibility exercise Aerobic Balance Flexibility Improves aerobic capacity Neuromotor training Gao et al.

WHO Measurement of Pharmacological Artificial Intelligence and Healthy Ageing (2023) Interventions muscle health Sarcopenia: Future Implications WHO Measurement of Healthy Ageing (2023) In its 2015 World Report on Ageing and Health, WHO defined healthy ageing as ‘the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability that enables wellbeing in older age’ The World Report on Ageing and Health defines functional ability as the ‘capability that enables people to be and do what they have reason to value’, with domains of meeting basic needs; ability to learn, grow and make decisions; being mobile; building and maintaining relationships; and contributing to society Functional ability results from an interaction between basic components of ‘intrinsic capacity’ (mobility, cognition, sensory function, psychology and vitality) and the physical and social environment in which an individual lives References Alcazar, J., Alegre, L.
