Senile sarcopenia is a skeletal muscle disease that usually occurs with age and some long-term ill-nesses. There is an association between sarcopenia and a range of adverse health effects that can lead to dysfunction, physical disability, and even death. With the acceleration of the aging process, the prevalence and mortality of sarcopenia have increased, which has become a huge public con-cern. Correct understanding of senile sarcopenia and timely intervention can improve life treat-ment, reduce social burden and effectively delay the aging process.
