This trial studies whether a structured exercise and nutrition program can improve muscle health in older adults with (pre)sarcopenia, especially those who may have slower walking or reduced strength. It also checks safety by excluding people with unstable health problems and several specific medical conditions.
This trial tests whether eating certain foods and oils can help improve muscle strength and function in older adults who have low linoleic acid intake and probable sarcopenia. The study will provide specific foods and oils to see if they can help repair and strengthen muscles.
This study tests whether a special drink (MediDrink Platinum+) and a bean protein supplement can help improve fitness and muscle strength in older adults who are malnourished and have muscle loss. If you are 60 or older, underweight, and have lost muscle, this trial may offer a way to see if these supplements can help you get stronger.
This study tests whether taking a daily krill oil supplement can help improve muscle health in people aged 65 and older. It aims to find out if the natural omega-3s in krill oil can slow age-related muscle changes.
This trial tests a combined exercise and nutrition program to help older adults with sarcopenia (muscle loss). It aims to improve muscle strength and function, especially for those with metabolic syndrome.
This trial tests an investigational drug called AMC6156 to see if it can help improve muscle mass and strength in older adults with sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Participants will also follow exercise and nutrition guidance.
