Acute muscle loss in older hospital patients
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how quickly older adults lose muscle strength and mass while hospitalized for a sudden medical illness. It may help find ways to prevent or treat this muscle loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older.
- You are admitted to the hospital for a new medical problem.
- You do not have a muscle or nerve disorder already.
- You are not terminally ill with less than 30 days to live.
- You are able and willing to sign a consent form.

This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with multiple sclerosis. It aims to understand what factors are linked to muscle loss, which could help improve care.
This study looks at muscle changes in people with or at risk for sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). It aims to find better ways to detect and manage sarcopenia using simple tests like muscle strength and body composition measurements.
This study looks at how diet and gut health relate to muscle loss (sarcopenia) in adults 60 and older. It aims to understand links between inflammation, gut bacteria, and muscle strength so we can find better ways to prevent frailty.
