Current Study of Daily Life Influences on Sarcopenia Under the Healthy China Initiative
Abstract
The prevention and management of sarcopenia among the elderly are now a pivotal topic for healthy aging, in light of the Healthy China strategy’s comprehensive advancement and the escalating demographic aging.Aging correlates with an increased prevalence of sarcopenia, a degenerative skeletal muscle condition.Data from a 2023 epidemiological study show that 5% of Chinese community-dwelling elderly aged 60 and above suffer from sarcopenia.7% to 23.9%.This condition substantially diminishes the elderly’s quality of life and impairs their functional autonomy, concurrently elevating risks for falls, disability, and all-cause mortality.This paper delves into the factors affecting sarcopenia in the elderly in everyday life, and appraises the existing prevention and therapeutic measures.The study’s analysis of interventions’ effectiveness and limitations forms a theoretical foundation for sarcopenia management in the elderly.
