Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, intrinsic capacity and frailty are major global challenges in the promotion of healthy aging. In this context, nutrition and exercise are key components of therapeutic interventions aimed at improving these geriatric syndromes, preserving functional ability, and promoting healthy longevity.
However, evidence regarding the synergistic effects of nutrition and exercise interventions on sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, and frailty remains limited. Therefore, we are pleased to announce this Special Issue, entitled “Synergistic Effects of Nutrition and Exercise on Sarcopenia, Osteosarcopenia, and Frailty, Intrinsic Capacity: Pathways to Healthy Longevity”, which aims to explore emerging scientific evidence on the combined role of nutritional and exercise-based interventions in the prevention and management of these conditions.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and reviews addressing topics related to:
- Nutrition and dietary interventions in sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, and frailty.
- Exercise interventions in sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, and frailty.
- Observational studies on nutrition, exercise, sarcopenia, osteosarcopenia, intrinsic capacity, and frailty.
- Mechanistic studies exploring the biological pathways linking nutrition, exercise, muscle, bone, and frailty.
