Cover Story: Due to the complexity of the pathogenesis of sarcopenia, it is of great significance to identify nutritional biomarkers that could contribute to the prediction and monitoring of this condition. Therefore, this narrative review aims to define a set of biomarkers associated with nutrition and sarcopenia. First of all, higher levels of serum uric acid are related to better muscle function and, thus, may slow the progression of sarcopenia. Vitamin D status acts as a useful biomarker for predicting total mortality, hip fractures, and the development of sarcopenia. Additionally, there is an important focus on dietary antioxidants and their effects on muscle tissue. In conclusion, many nutritional biomarkers were found to be associated with sarcopenia and can therefore be used as prognostic indexes and risk factors. View this paper
