Key Points

To assess the feasibility and efficacy of a multicomponent intervention to treat sarcopenia in older adults.
Conducted a 5-armed randomized controlled trial
Implemented intervention consisting of exercise, protein, and omega-3 supplementation
Evaluated acceptability, feasibility, and safety of the intervention
Low feasibility and moderate acceptability were noted
Exercise with protein supplementation improved physical function
Potential additional benefits of omega-3 for muscle strength and mass were suggested

Abstract

A multicomponent intervention to treat sarcopenia showed low feasibility, moderate acceptability, and high safety. Preliminary efficacy results showed that exercise with protein supplementation may improve physical function. Adding omega-3 PUFA might offer further benefits for muscle strength and mass, but should be confirmed in larger studies. The insights and the practical challenges in the ENHANce study inform future sarcopenia intervention designs.
