Skeletal Muscle Function Deficit Longitudinal Associations With Inflammation and Caloric Intake in Elderly. The InCHIANTI Study
Inflammation and diet together explain muscle loss in older adults, suggesting anti-inflammatory and nutritional approaches could help prevent frailty.
The InCHIANTI longitudinal cohort study demonstrated that skeletal muscle function decline in aging is independently predicted by systemic inflammation and caloric intake over time. These findings support combined anti-inflammatory and nutritional intervention strategies to prevent sarcopenia and functional decline in elderly populations.
