Official title
Nutrition and Exercise to Improve Protein Metabolism and Prevent Sarcopenia in Aging
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators' general hypothesis is that nutritional factors, including protein/energy malnutrition and/or an impaired response of muscle to nutrition, and inactivity play significant roles in developing sarcopenia, the involuntary loss of muscle mass and function with age. Therefore, age-specific prolonged interventions including nutritional manipulations and/or exercise may help to reduce, stabilize, or even reverse sarcopenia.
