Sarcopenic obesity

Sarcopenia is characterised as the decrease of muscular mass, strength, or physical performance as people get older. Sarcopenia is often accompanied by an increase in adipose tissue, a condition known as Sarcopenic obesity. Sarcopenic obesity is becoming more common among adults all over the world. Although there is no standardised diagnosis for Sarcopenic Obesity, a good one should incorporate the individual diagnoses of obesity and sarcopenia.
