Cover Story: Sarcopenia is a multifactorial age-related disorder that impairs skeletal muscle function, leading to alteration of movement, risk of falls, and hospitalization. This review highlights the underlying factors involved in sarcopenia, the clinical criteria for diagnosis of the condition, and the strategies that delay and counteract its symptoms. Evidence suggests approaches based on diet and physical exercise to improve the muscle health. We discuss the difference in the amount and quality of amino acids within animal- and plant-based diets, as well as  training programs based on resistance exercise that ameliorate muscle mass, strength, and function. These approaches not only improve the maintenance of skeletal muscle function but also reduce health care costs, improving life quality and expectancy in elderly people. View this paper
