Overview

Randomised controlled trial found improved gait speed and physical performance in older adults, suggesting effective sarcopenia management.

Key Points

  • The intervention significantly improved gait speed by 0.14 m/s in older adults with sarcopenia.
  • Participants in the intervention group also saw increased grip strength and quality of life compared to controls.
  • The 12-week program combined group exercises and nutritional support for effective sarcopenia management.
  • These results underline the importance of community-based interventions in addressing sarcopenia in older populations.
