Current clinical care of older adults with sarcopenia
As sarcopenia is common and associated with risk of adverse health consequences, strategies for clinical care of such patients are needed. Individuals with slow gait speed (<0.8 m/s) should be evaluated for low grip strength and low muscle mass. Progressive resistance exercise in patients with sa...

Individuals with slow gait speed (<0.8 m/s) should be evaluated for low grip strength and low muscle mass.
