Muscle Ultrasound and Sarcopenia in Older Individuals: A Clinical Perspective.
TLDR
The current literature does not allow to make conclusive recommendations about the use of muscle ultrasound in geriatric practice, but this technique is very promising, and further studies should validate its applications in the context of sarcopenia assessment.About:

Sarcopenia: Revised European consensus on definition and diagnosis
Alfonso J. Cruz-Jentoft,Gulistan Bahat,Jürgen M. Bauer,Yves Boirie,Olivier Bruyère,Tommy Cederholm,Cyrus Cooper,Francesco Landi,Yves Rolland,Avan Aihie Sayer,Stéphane M. Schneider,Cornel C. Sieber,Eva Topinkova,Maurits Vandewoude,Marjolein Visser,Mauro Zamboni +15 more
TL;DR: An emphasis is placed on low muscle strength as a key characteristic of sarcopenia, uses detection of low muscle quantity and quality to confirm the sarc Openia diagnosis, and provides clear cut-off points for measurements of variables that identify and characterise sarc openia.

TL;DR: It is important to address the risk factors for sarcopenia, particularly low physical activity and sedentary behavior in the general population, using a life‐long approach.

Aging Gut Microbiota at the Cross-Road between Nutrition, Physical Frailty, and Sarcopenia: Is There a Gut-Muscle Axis?
Andrea Ticinesi,Fulvio Lauretani,Christian Milani,Antonio Nouvenne,Claudio Tana,Daniele Del Rio,M. Maggio,M. Maggio,Marco Ventura,Tiziana Meschi +9 more
TL;DR: Even if there is no evidence of a distinct gut microbiota composition in older sarcopenic patients, the literature supports the possible presence of a “gut–muscle axis”, whereby gut microbiota may act as the mediation of the effects of nutrition on muscle cells.

Sarcopenia: assessment of disease burden and strategies to improve outcomes.

TL;DR: Because sarcopenia is associated with important adverse health outcomes, such as frailty, hospitalization, and mortality, several therapeutic strategies have been identified that involve exercise training, nutritional supplementation, hormonal therapies, and novel strategies and are still under investigation.

Defining sarcopenia: the impact of different diagnostic criteria on the prevalence of sarcopenia in a large middle aged cohort
Astrid Y. Bijlsma,Carel G. M. Meskers,Carolina H. Y. Ling,Marco V. Narici,Susan Kurrle,Ian D. Cameron,Rudi G. J. Westendorp,Andrea B. Maier +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the prevalence of sarcopenia is highly dependent on the applied diagnostic criteria and it is necessary to reach a consensus on the definition of sarc Openia in order to make studies comparable and for implementation in clinical care.

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.

The Loss of Skeletal Muscle Strength, Mass, and Quality in Older Adults: The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study

TL;DR: Although the loss of muscle mass is associated with the decline in strength in older adults, this strength decline is much more rapid than the concomitant loss of Muscle mass, suggesting a decline in muscle quality.
