TL;DR: The task force of the International Conference of Frailty and Sarcopenia Research developed these clinical practice guidelines to overview the current evidence-base and provide recommendations for the identification and management of frailty in older adults using the GRADE approach.

TL;DR: An attempt is made to promote awareness of the importance of physical activity in the development of healthy lifestyles and to promote physical activity and physical activity-related illness in older people.

TL;DR: It is thought that DXA can indeed serve as a reference standard for measuring muscle mass and the comparison of DXA with CT/MRI is rather difficult because DXA and QCT/MRI measure different physical parameters.

TL;DR: The concept of lean body mass is not very useful for muscle research, so further efforts are needed to develop anthropometric standards representing the wide range of body compositions encountered in the clinical routine in order to validate the accuracy of methods, such as DXA and BIA.
