Summary
This study tests a care model combining diet and exercise for older adults with sarcopenic obesity—a condition where people have both high body fat and low muscle mass. Researchers will measure changes in body fat, muscle mass, and physical performance like walking speed. The goal is to see if this program can help improve strength and mobility.
