SARCOPENIA IN ELDERLY

This study tests whether an 8-week functional resistance training programme is practical and acceptable for older adults with probable sarcopenia—early muscle weakness that can affect mobility and independence. Participants will be randomly assigned to do the same exercises eithe…

This study tests whether a daily chocolate cake enriched with seaweed flour and leucine can improve metabolic and inflammatory markers in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants aged 60–80 with low muscle strength will eat one of three cakes daily for…

This Phase 2 trial tests an experimental drug called IN-207907 in 100 elderly people with sarcopenia, a condition causing muscle loss and weakness. Participants receive three doses of the drug or a placebo by IV every four weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug improves physi…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal ointment, Peiyuan Guben Tongluo, can help elderly people with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) increase muscle mass and strength. Sixty participants aged 60-80 will receive the ointment along with nutritional suppl…

This study tests whether a structured exercise and nutrition plan can help older patients (70+) avoid losing the ability to care for themselves during a hospital stay. About 360 patients from a geriatric ward will take part. The goal is to see if personalized resistance and mobil…

This observational study will compare muscle strength between the dominant and non-dominant sides of the body in 140 older adults aged 65 and older, both with and without sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Researchers will measure handgrip, biceps, and quadriceps strength to s…

This study looks at whether combining handgrip strength tests, body composition scans, and thigh ultrasound can better detect acute sarcopenia—a rapid loss of muscle mass and function—in older adults hospitalized for acute medical conditions. Researchers will follow 280 patients …

This study at Montpellier University Hospital will look at whether low muscle mass and strength before hip replacement surgery affects how well people aged 75 and older regain their independence. About 20 volunteers will have blood tests, scans, and a tiny muscle sample taken dur…
