SARCOPENIA IN ELDERLY

This study tests whether a volunteer-led lifestyle program, supported by a digital tool, can improve muscle mass, strength, and mobility in older adults (60+) who have or are at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The program includes exercise and nutrition guidance de…

This study tests whether a structured exercise and nutrition plan can prevent older adults (70+) from losing the ability to care for themselves during a hospital stay. About 360 participants in a geriatric ward will follow a supervised resistance and mobility program, with their …

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal ointment, Peiyuan Guben Tongluo, can increase muscle mass in people aged 60-80 with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). The trial will involve 60 participants and compare the ointment to a placebo over 12 weeks. The main goa…

This study looks at whether combining simple tests—like handgrip strength, body composition analysis, and thigh ultrasound—can help doctors spot rapid muscle loss (acute sarcopenia) in older adults admitted to the hospital. Researchers will follow 280 patients aged 65 and older t…

This study looks at whether older adults (75+) with low muscle mass and strength before hip replacement surgery recover more slowly. About 20 volunteers will have their muscle health measured before surgery and be followed for 6 months after. The goal is to learn if pre-surgery m…

This observational study looks at whether differences in muscle strength between the dominant and non-dominant sides of the body are linked to sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) in adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will measure handgrip, arm, and thigh strength in 140 parti…
