TL;DR: Sarcopenia should be considered in all older patients who present with observed declines in physical function, strength, or overall health, and patients who meet these criteria should further undergo body composition assessment using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry with sarcopenia being defined using currently validated definitions.

TL;DR: Gait speed at usual pace was found to be a consistent risk factor for disability, cognitive impairment, institutionalisation, falls, and/or mortality in older adults as mentioned in this paper, and the use of simple, safe, and easy to perform assessment tool, like gait speed, to evaluate vulnerability to adverse outcomes in community-dwelling older people is appealing.

TL;DR: The designs and rationals of the frailty phenotype and Frailty Index are discussed, proposing the correct ways for having them implemented in the clinical setting.

TL;DR: The multidomain intervention and polyunsaturated fatty acids, either alone or in combination, had no significant effects on cognitive decline over 3 years in elderly people with memory complaints.

TL;DR: A Geriatric Advisory Panel of the International A emy of Nutrition and Aging has postulated a new approa defining frailty and a case-finding tool, which stressed that for frailty to be a useful clinical tion, it should be considered a predisability state.
