摘要
The age-related concomitant loss of skeletal muscle and accumulation of excess adipose tissue have been commonly referred to as sarcopenic obesity. While weight loss may help mitigate the metabolic abnormalities linked to obesity, low fitness levels and muscle atrophy complicate the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions. Because of low levels of compliance, suboptimal economic efficiency, and low functional capacity, there has been no consensus on optimal therapy. This includes the use of high-protein diets that do not ensure muscle preservation during weight loss in this segment of the population. The primary objectives of this review are to discuss the relevance of sarcopenic obesity, examine the feasibility of weight loss in the elderly, and highlight new approaches to the problem.
