Because muscle is metabolically active tissue, sarcopenia may also contribute to the development of some of the metabolic disorders associated with aging. However, the risk factors associated with sarcopenia are poorly understood. Thus, a cross-sectional survey of a sample of 274 elderly adults aged 60 or over, were included in the study. Correlations of sarcopenia with functional level, lipid and glycemic profile, nutritional and physical activity level, fall risk, quality of life, and self-reported comorbidities will be studied.","overall_status":"Completed","phases":[],"study_type":"OBSERVATIONAL","sponsor":"Universidade do Algarve","enrollment":274,"countries":["Portugal"],"start_date":"2019-05-14","completion_date":"2023-02-20","last_update_date":"2023-08-14","source_url":"https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05918159","editorial_summary":"A registered study indexed because it matched monitored longevity research terms.
