Beschreibung

SARCOPENIA An in-depth examination of sarcopenia's underexplored yet widespread impact within the field of gerontology Sarcopenia is common in older men and women, and yet awareness of its clinical relevance is still relatively low. Only formally included in the International Classification of Diseases in 2016, the condition may impact societies with serious health-related and financial consequences unless consistent, effective methods of identification and management are adopted. This second edition of Sarcopenia provides geriatricians and other healthcare professionals with a revised and expanded examination of this understudied and underdiagnosed condition. Edited by two leading authorities on the subject, it covers the epidemiology and diagnosis of sarcopenia, as well as treatment options and possible prevention strategies. Eight newly written chapters build upon existing knowledge with fresh data on topics including sarcopenia's biomarkers and its impact on the healthcare economy. This important text: * Defines sarcopenia and explains its clinical relevance * Covers all recent scientific evidence * Outlines treatment options * Considers prevention strategies * Discusses sarcopenia as a public health priority * Features eight new chapters covering topics such as sarcopenia's clinical management, its biomarkers, and its financial impact Containing vital information for clinicians and other professionals working in geriatric care, nursing homes, nutrition, cancer, endocrinology, surgery, sports medicine and many other specialties, Sarcopenia, second edition, is a groundbreaking and essential new resource.

Preface

Since the original coining of the term sarcopenia in 1988, there has been a rapid increase in the development of scientific approaches to its pathophysiology, definition (together with ethnic appropriate cut‐offs), and management. This was highlighted when sarcopenia was established as a muscle disease with its own ICD‐CM diagnosis code (ICD‐10‐CMM62.84). Primary sarcopenia (age related) is of central interest to geriatricians, nutritionists, gerontologists, epidemiologists, biologists, physical and occupational therapists, and all health professionals who provide care for older persons. Secondary sarcopenia has become an increasingly important, treatable side effect of chronic diseases, e.g. congestive heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, in many persons.

Since the first edition of Sarcopenia some eight years ago, there have been major advances in the understanding of the basic science concepts of how aging interacts with muscles to alter its function. This has been coupled with an increased knowledge in methodology to measure muscle mass and function. There has been a realization that the decline in function due to muscle loss is the hallmark in the development of sarcopenia. This has led to more sophisticated definitions of the disease and a recognition that these definitions require ethnic‐specific definitions. While the primary treatment of sarcopenia relies on resistance and other exercises together with nutritional approaches, a large number of pharmacological agents to treat sarcopenia are under development. These exciting and rapid changes have led us to produce a second edition of this book.

This new edition remains a clear and precise reference work for all those health professionals, exercise physiologists, and researchers interested in understanding the complexity of sarcopenia. This book provides the state of art of the complexity involved in the biological aspects of age‐related muscle wasting alongside the direct effects of disease on muscles. It explores the rapidly increasing epidemiological knowledge demonstrating the devastating effects of sarcopenia on health outcomes and quality of life of individuals. It explores in detail the modern diagnostic and management approaches to recognizing and improving outcomes in individuals with sarcopenia. To do this we have assembled a wide range of authors from around the world, who are experts in this topic area. We also focus on primary and secondary prevention of sarcopenia as important approaches to enhance the quality of life in older persons.

This book represents a state‐of‐the‐art textbook, with a comprehensive approach to sarcopenia. We hope it will be a valuable reference tool to all those who are interested in this topic. Our authors have taken complex topics and written about them in a clear way allowing access to the knowledge for those starting out in the field, as well as expert researchers and clinicians who are interested in recognizing and treating sarcopenia.

CHAPTER 2Epidemiology of Muscle Mass Loss with Age

INTRODUCTION

The development of new body composition methods in the early 1970s and 1980s led to more research on this topic, including the study of differences in body composition between young and older persons. These initial studies were followed by much larger studies covering a wide age range investigating how body composition varied across the life span. Variations in lean body mass and fat‐free mass were described between age groups. These studies served as the important scientific basis for developing the concept sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was originally defined as the age‐related loss of muscle mass [1]. The term is derived from the Greek words sarx (flesh) and penia (loss). The development of this concept further stimulated research in this specific body composition area. More recently, large‐scale studies among older persons have included accurate and precise measurements of skeletal muscle mass. Moreover, these measurements have been repeated over time, enabling the sarcopenia process to be studied.

This chapter will discuss the results of epidemiological studies investigating the age‐related loss of skeletal muscle mass. First, several cross‐sectional studies will be presented comparing the body composition between younger and older persons. Then prospective studies will be discussed investigating the change in body composition with aging. The chapter will conclude with the results of more recent, prospective studies that precisely measured change in skeletal muscle mass in large samples of older persons.

MUSCLE MASS DIFFERENCES AMONG AGE GROUPS

Comparisons among young and older men and women with regard to muscle size have been made in several small studies starting in the 1980s. The results showed that healthy women in their 70s had a 33% smaller quadriceps cross‐sectional area as obtained by compound ultrasound imaging compared with women in their 20s [2]. Using the same methodology and age groups, healthy older men had a 25% smaller quadriceps cross‐sectional area [3]. In a study investigating thigh composition using five computed tomography (CT) scans of the total thigh, smaller muscle cross‐sectional areas were observed in older men compared with younger men even though their total thigh cross‐sectional area was similar. The older men had a 13% smaller total muscle cross‐sectional area, 25.4% smaller quadriceps, and 17.9% smaller hamstring cross‐sectional area [4]. Using magnetic resonance imaging of the leg anterior compartment, muscle area was measured in young and older men and women [5]
