Nutritional Intervention for Sarcopenia
NCT ID: NCT03891134 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 630 Completion: 2017-06-08
Conditions
Sarcopenia
Interventions
Branched Chain Amino Acid
Summary
Sarcopenia is an age-related poor healthy outcome. nutrition intervention is one , progressive, generalized loss of muscle mass and the decrement in physical activity. Sarcopenia is associated with subsequent health hazards such as disability, falls, functional degeneration, hospitalization and death. There are similar causes between sarcopenia and constipation such as aging, reduced mobility, changes in diet and co-morbidities. Nutrition plays an important role for muscle maintenance. The trial tries to figure out the effect of enriched branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) nutrient on muscle mass, strength and physical performance of sarcopenia in the middle-aged and old people.
Primary Outcome
Skeletal muscle mass index
