For geriatricians, clinicians, and professionals working in nursing homes, nutrition, and sports medicine, as well as graduate students researchers, Cruz-Jentoft (geriatrics, U. Hospital Ramón y Cajal, Spain) and Morley (geriatric medicine and endocrinology, Saint Louis U.) compile 21 chapters by European and US specialists in geriatrics, neurology, and other medical fields who discuss sarcopenia and its definition, clinical relevance, nosology, pathophysiology, clinical identification, and treatment. They address the biological aspects of muscle and the central nervous system and their relation to movement and function; the individual from lifetime and syndromic approaches, particularly adverse effects on health and function; the relationships between sarcopenia, cachexia, frailty, and bones; the complexity measuring different parameters linked to muscle mass and function; nutrition, exercise, and drug interventions; and prevention.
