          Abstract

          Primary aging is the progressive and inevitable process of bodily deterioration during adulthood. In skeletal muscle, primary aging causes defective mitochondrial energetics, and reduced muscle mass. Secondary aging refers to additional deleterious structural and functional age-related changes caused by diseases and lifestyle factors. Secondary aging can exacerbate deficits in mitochondrial function and muscle mass, concomitant with the development of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. Exercise opposes deleterious effects of secondary aging by preventing the decline in mitochondrial respiration, mitigating aging-related loss of muscle mass and enhancing insulin sensitivity. This review focuses on mechanisms by which exercise promotes “healthy aging” by inducing modifications in skeletal muscle.

            The Loss of Skeletal Muscle Strength, Mass, and Quality in Older Adults: The Health, Aging and Body Composition Study

            The loss of muscle mass is considered to be a major determinant of strength loss in aging. However, large-scale longitudinal studies examining the association between the loss of mass and strength in older adults are lacking.

              Sarcopenia: origins and clinical relevance.

              This presentation reflects on the origins of the term sarcopenia. The Greek roots of the word are sarx for flesh and penia for loss. The term actually describes important changes in body composition and related functions. Clearly defining sarcopenia will allow investigators to appropriately classify patients and examine underlying pathogenic mechanisms and will allow funding agencies to appropriately target research funds to a taxonomically distinct syndrome.
