Abstract

According to current publications that address the prevention strategies and treatment of sarcopenia, the role of physical activity and adequate nutrition is indisputable. The aim of this study was to review the main scientific findings on the prevention of sarcopenia in the elderly, focusing on actions involving nutrition and physical exercise, discussing some points that are already a consensus in the literature, and others that still need more evidence or research with better methodological quality.
