TL;DR: It is concluded that "Sarcopenia, ie, reduced muscle mass, with limited mobility" should be considered an important clinical entity and that most older persons should be screened for this condition.

Etiology of Ankle Osteoarthritis
Victor Valderrabano,Victor Valderrabano,Monika Horisberger,Iain Russell,Hugh Dougall,Beat Hintermann +5 more
TL;DR: In the majority of patients with ankle OA the average tibiotalar alignment is varus regardless of the underlying etiology, and the study showed trauma is the main cause of ankles OA and primary OA is rare.
Journal ArticleDOI
Summary comments
TL;DR: It is suggested here that there is no single formal strategy that must be used in order to achieve sustainability, and a range of built work for sustainable qualities is investigated.

Maren S. Fragala,Eduardo Lusa Cadore,Sandor Dorgo,Mikel Izquierdo,William J. Kraemer,Mark D. Peterson,Eric D. Ryan +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support recommendations for successful resistance training in older adults related to 4 parts: program design variables, physiological adaptations, functional benefits, and considerations for frailty, sarcopenia, and other chronic conditions.

A short physical performance battery assessing lower extremity function: association with self-reported disability and prediction of mortality and nursing home admission.
Jack M. Guralnik,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Luigi Ferrucci,Robert J. Glynn,Lisa F. Berkman,Dan G. Blazer,Paul A. Scherr,Robert B. Wallace +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that performance measures can validly characterize older persons across a broad spectrum of lower extremity function and that performance and self-report measures may complement each other in providing useful information about functional status.

TL;DR: Some of the first estimates of the extent of the public health problem posed by sarcopenia are provided, independent of ethnicity, age, morbidity, obesity, income, and health behaviors.

Low relative skeletal muscle mass (sarcopenia) in older persons is associated with functional impairment and physical disability.
TL;DR: To establish the prevalence of sarc Openia in older Americans and to test the hypothesis that sarcopenia is related to functional impairment and physical disability in older persons is established.

The Loss of Skeletal Muscle Strength, Mass, and Quality in Older Adults: The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study
Bret H. Goodpaster,Seok Won Park,Tamara B. Harris,S. B. Kritchevsky,Michael C. Nevitt,Ann V. Schwartz,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Frances A. Tylavsky,Marjolein Visser,Anne B. Newman +9 more
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.
