5 SARCOPENIA Acute or chronic muscle failure

6 SARCOPENIA: FIRST STEPS Conference on Nutritional Status and Body Composition Oct 19-21, 1988 I noted then that no decline with age is as dramatic or potentially more significant than the decline in lean body mass. In fact, there may be no single feature of age-related decline more striking than the decline in lean body mass in affecting ambulation, mobility, energy intake, overall nutrient intake and status, independence and breathing. I suggested that if this phenomenon were to be taken seriously, we had to give it a name. Rosenberg IH. Sarcopenia: Origins and Clinical Relevance. J Nutrition, 1997; 127:990S-991S

10 EWGSOP DEFINITION OF SARCOPENIA Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength with a risk of adverse outcomes such as physical disability, poor quality of life and death.

12 CONCEPTUAL ADVANCES IN SARCOPENIA Muscle function Syndromic approach Adverse outcomes Degrees of severity

14 CLASSIFICATION OF SARCOPENIA Secondary Activity related Bed rest Sedentary lifestyle Deconditioning Primary Age-related Nutrition related Inadequate diet Malabsortion Gastrointestinal disorders Drug induced anorexia Disease related Advanced organ failure Inflamatory diseases Malignancy Endocrine diseases

16 FRAILTY Vulnerability to adverse outcomes

17 SPOT THE FRAIL identify pre-frail older people in the community an old, demented, dependent, very frailwoman a frail old lady still living on her own

18 THE CONCEPT OF FRAILTY my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry. both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfil the ministry entrusted to me.

19 THE CONCEPT OF FRAILTY We do not grow stronger as the years go on. The accumulation of sufferings and sorrows weakens our capacity to endure more sufferings and sorrows, and since sufferings and sorrows are inevitable, even a small setback late in life can resound with the same force as a major tragedy when we are young.

20 DEFINITION OF FRAILTY A biologic syndrome of decreased reserve and resistance to stressors, resulting from cumulative declines across multiple physiologic systems, and causing vulnerability to adverse outcomes. This concept distinguishes frailty from disability. Frailty: A concept linked to the personas a whole Fried LP, Tangen CM, Walston J, et al. Frailty in older adults: evidence for a phenotype.

26 NUTRITION Proteins and other nutrients (and don t forget exercise)

27 PROTEIN INTAKE IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOSS OF MUSCLE MASS Proteins g/kg/d Houston D K et al. Dietary protein intake is associated with lean mass change in older, community-dwelling adults: the Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) Study. Am J Clin Nutr 2008

28 REDUCED PROTEIN INTAKE PREDICTS INCIDENT FRAILTY Houston D K et al. Dietary protein intake is associated with lean mass change in older, community-dwelling adults: the Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) Study. Am J Clin Nutr 2008

29 HEALTHY DIET IS INVERSELY ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT OF FRAILTY Design: 690 community residents in Tuscany, Italy, 65 years, over 6-year period Results: Adherence to Mediterranean-style diet was associated with lower odds of developing frailty (OR=0.30; 95% CI, 0.14, 0.66). Adherence to Mediterranean diet at baseline was also associated with reduced risk of low physical activity (OR=0.62; 95% CI, 0.40, 0.96) and slow walking speed (OR=0.48; CI, 0.27, 0.86). No associations were observed for other frailty components like physical exhaustion or poor muscle strength. A Mediterranean-style diet may reduce the odds of developing frailty.

31 REVIEW OF EVIDENCE 1. Protein needs for older people in good health 2. Protein needs for older people with specific acute or chronic diseases 3. Role of exercise along with dietary protein for recovering and maintaining muscle strength and function in older people 4. Practical aspects of providing dietary protein (ie, source and quality of dietary proteins, timing of protein intake, and intake of protein-sparing energy) 5. Use of functional outcomes to assess the impact of age- and disease-related muscle l oss and the effects of interventions.

32 PROT-AGE RECOMMENDATIONS HEALTHY OLDER ADULTS Bauer J, et al. J Am Med Dir Assoc. 2013

33 PROT-AGE RECOMMENDATIONS GERIATRIC PATIENTS WITH ACUTE OR CHRONIC CONDITIONS PROT-AGE recommendations for protein levels in geriatric patients with specific acute or chronic diseases The amount of additional dietary protein or supplemental protein needed depends on the disease, its severity, the patient s nutritional status prior to disease, as well as the disease impact on the patient s nutritional status. Most older adults who have an acute or chronic disease need more dietary protein (ie, 1.2e1.5 g/kg BW/d); people with severe illness or injury or with marked malnutrition may need as much as 2.0 g/kg BW/d. Older people with severe kidney disease (ie, estimated glomerular filtration rate [GFR] < 30 ml/min/1.73m 2 ) who are not on dialysis are an exception to the high-protein rule; these individuals need to limit protein intake.

34 PROT-AGE RECOMMENDATIONS PROTEIN QUALITY PROT-AGE recommendations on dietary protein and amino acid quality for older people The list of indispensable amino acids is qualitatively identical for young and old adults. There is no evidence that protein digestion and absorption capacities change significantly with aging. Fast proteins may have some benefits over slow proteins in muscle protein metabolism. Dietary enrichment with leucine or a mixture of branched-chain amino acids may help enhance muscle mass and muscle function, but further studies are needed to support specific recommendations. b-hmb may attenuate muscle loss and increase muscle mass and strength in older people, but further studies are needed to support specific recommendations. Creatine supplementation may be justified for older people, especially those who are creatine-deficient or at high risk of deficiency.

38 ESPEN EXPERT GROUP MAINTAINING MUSCLE HEALTH Dietary protein intake Older adults have greater protein needs to compensate for anabolic resistance and hypermetabolic disease. Older adults may also have decreased intake due to age-related appe te loss, medical condi ons, financial limits. Op mal intake of at least 1.0 to 1.5 g protein/kg BW/day is recommended; individual needs depend upon the severity of malnutri on risk. Exercise Regular exercise helps maintain skeletal muscle strength and func on in older adults. Resistance training has limited but posi ve e ects on recovery of muscle in older people. A combina on of resistance training and adequate dietary protein/amino acid intake for healthy muscle aging is recommended.
