Abstract
Sarcopenia is a common condition that can lead to serious adverse events in older adults. However, sarcopenia can be prevented and treated and nutrition plays a major role in its management. This article aims to appraise the scientific evidence on nutritional interventions to prevent and treat sarcopenia in older adults, highlighting the effect of an adequate caloric and protein intake, protein and amino-acid supplementation, micronutrients, and phospholipids. Unfortunately, clinical trials assessing the effect of these interventions on sarcopenia or muscle parameters are scarce, and the majority were not conducted in sarcopenic individuals.
