Abstract

Sarcopenia is a loss of muscle protein mass and loss of muscle function. It occurs with increasing age, being a major component in the development of frailty. Current knowledge on its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives are reported in the present review. On-going and future clinical trials on sarcopenia may radically change our preventive and therapeutic approaches of mobility disability in older people.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • An increased proteolytic state, commonly observed in older persons, reflects depletion in protein activity and is associated with impaired mobility and balance, suggesting a link with sarcopenia.

    “An increased proteolytic state, commonly observed in older persons, reflects a significant depletion in protein activity and has been reported to be associated with risk factors related to muscle strength and function, such as impaired mobility and balance, suggesting a link with sarcopenia (15).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
