Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the increase in the global population of older adults, the prevalence of frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition is increasing. Frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition are all associated with impairment, disability, and handicap. Frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition often coexist simultaneously, and their synergistic effects could worsen clinical outcomes, thus requiring a comprehensive approach.
In older adults with frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition, management including nutritional care and rehabilitation is essential. Both nutritional care and rehabilitation could improve physical function, activities of daily living, and quality of life in these older adults. Additional research is necessary on more effective methods for the assessment of frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition, and management methods, including appropriate nutritional support and rehabilitation.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an updated view of the knowledge on the assessment, management, and rehabilitation for frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition. We welcome submissions of clinical studies, epidemiological studies, and current reviews (scoping reviews, systematic reviews, and well-written narrative reviews).
