Beyond Just Nutrition: The Importance of a Holistic Approach in Maintaining Muscle Health in Patients with Sarcopenia

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for collaborating with us on this Special Issue of Nutrients entitled “Beyond Just Nutrition: The Importance of a Holistic Approach in Maintaining Muscle Health in Patients with Sarcopenia”. This issue focuses on the importance of nutrition in muscle metabolism in sarcopenia.

Muscle health is increasingly being recognised as impacting a multitude of health- and disease-related outcomes, yet no one specialty truly manages muscle health. A multidisciplinary approach is important for circumventing the negative effects of sarcopenia, and more efforts and important elements need to be emphased. This issue provides us with that opportunity. 

This Special Issue aims to collate expert reviews, compile recent knowledge and shed light on recent advances in the management of sarcopenia through the use of nutrition and its adjuncts.

We welcome any articles that help us achieve our aims for this issue.

Dr. Frederick Koh
Guest Editor
