Evidence behind the synergetic benefit of exercise and nutrition intervention: How to optimize musculoskeletal recovery in older patients
Understanding Muscle Loss Across Aging and Clinical Care
In this video, Dr. Everson Nunes discusses how muscle loss, reduced muscle function, sarcopenia, and disuse atrophy emerge across aging and clinical pathways. He explains the combined influence of physical inactivity, inadequate protein intake, and periods of immobilization, including hospital stays, surgery, and post-fracture recovery. The session highlights how shifts in muscle protein synthesis and muscle protein breakdown shape long-term outcomes for older adults.
