The number of older adults is increasing worldwide, and more emphasis is placed on aging in place in good health and with good quality of life. The age related loss of muscle mass, strength and function can negatively impact the ability of older adults to live independently and perform activities of daily living. Dietary protein and resistance exercise training are strategies to counteract these age related declines. In this research, we adapted an efficacious clinical intervention combining protein supplementation and resistance exercise to practice, and evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of this intervention in Dutch healthcare practice in a randomised controlled multicentre study. Community-dwelling older adults participated in resistance exercise training under supervision of a physiotherapist, and received counselling by a dietitian to increase their dietary protein intake using protein-rich foods. A moderate support intervention period was added to assist participants in continuing their adapted lifestyle. The intervention was effective in improving aspects of physical functioning, muscle strength and lean body mass as compared to a control group. In addition, the intervention was well received by participants and healthcare professionals, and was perceived feasible to implement in Dutch healthcare practice. The research described in this thesis shows that it is possible to systematically adapt an efficacious lifestyle intervention to practice. Future attention is warranted for ensuring optimal intervention intensity and implementation, achieving long-term intervention success, and specifying the target population in practice.

Sarcopenia can have serious consequences for health and quality of life. As the main drivers of anabolism, resistance exercise and protein ingestion may potentially be targets for interventions to alleviate these effects. Hence, two systematic reviews were conducted. Results of Chapter 2 indicated no augmentation of the effects of RET when older adults were supplemented with protein. Chapter 3 aimed to assess the effects of protein timing and distribution, but identified only six studies indicating a lack of research in the area. In Chapter 4, habitual protein intake in older adults was assessed to identify potential areas for improvement. While total intake was sufficient, distribution across meals was highly skewed, which is suboptimal according to current thinking. Chapter 5 compared effects of even and uneven protein distributions, alongside two weeks of resistance exercise, in women ≥65 years. A stable isotope protocol (deuterated water) was used to measure muscle protein synthesis. There was no significant difference in MPS between even (trained leg 1.02%.day-1) and uneven (1.16%.day-) diets, or in muscle strength change. These results do not support the theory of an optimal protein distribution based on the maximal MPS threshold dose, although there is potential for future research.

Dietary supplement companies and the food industry spend millions to reach resistance trainers—often with exaggerated marketing messages—while health practitioners continue to counsel athletes that their interest in protein is misguided and even dangerous. There appears to be a disconnect between scientists and almost everyone else in sports nutrition. With so much conflicting information, it’s difficult to know who to believe. With contributions from the world’s foremost experts, Dietary Protein and Resistance Exercise delivers the uncut scientific truth about the role of dietary protein in the well-being of athletes. Updating and clarifying the issues surrounding purposeful protein intake and resistance trainers, this volume: Reviews the science-related history of protein and its consumption among strength athletes Analyzes the mechanisms behind what proteins do in muscle cells Describes protein’s effect on performance, recovery, and body composition Explores various populations that actively employ resistance training and dietary protein Discusses timing, type, and safety data regarding liberal protein diets and related supplements Includes sidebars, practical examples, and case studies—translating the science into a practical understanding of various protein-related topics Separating fact from fiction and providing the hard science behind the numbers, this volume demonstrates how changes in dietary protein intake may lead to measurable improvements in body composition, energy levels, and athletic performance.

SARCOPENIA An in-depth examination of sarcopenia’s underexplored yet widespread impact within the field of gerontology Sarcopenia is common in older men and women, and yet awareness of its clinical relevance is still relatively low. Only formally included in the International Classification of Diseases in 2016, the condition may impact societies with serious health-related and financial consequences unless consistent, effective methods of identification and management are adopted. This second edition of Sarcopenia provides geriatricians and other healthcare professionals with a revised and expanded examination of this understudied and underdiagnosed condition. Edited by two leading authorities on the subject, it covers the epidemiology and diagnosis of sarcopenia, as well as treatment options and possible prevention strategies. Eight newly written chapters build upon existing knowledge with fresh data on topics including sarcopenia’s biomarkers and its impact on the healthcare economy. This important text: Defines sarcopenia and explains its clinical relevance Covers all recent scientific evidence Outlines treatment options Considers prevention strategies Discusses sarcopenia as a public health priority Features eight new chapters covering topics such as sarcopenia’s clinical management, its biomarkers, and its financial impact Containing vital information for clinicians and other professionals working in geriatric care, nursing homes, nutrition, cancer, endocrinology, surgery, sports medicine and many other specialties, Sarcopenia, second edition, is a groundbreaking and essential new resource.

This open access book aims to provide a comprehensive but practical overview of the knowledge required for the assessment and management of the older adult with or at risk of fragility fracture. It considers this from the perspectives of all of the settings in which this group of patients receive nursing care. Globally, a fragility fracture is estimated to occur every 3 seconds. This amounts to 25 000 fractures per day or 9 million per year. The financial costs are reported to be: 32 billion EUR per year in Europe and 20 billon USD in the United States. As the population of China ages, the cost of hip fracture care there is likely to reach 1.25 billion USD by 2020 and 265 billion by 2050 (International Osteoporosis Foundation 2016). Consequently, the need for nursing for patients with fragility fracture across the world is immense. Fragility fracture is one of the foremost challenges for health care providers, and the impact of each one of those expected 9 million hip fractures is significant pain, disability, reduced quality of life, loss of independence and decreased life expectancy. There is a need for coordinated, multi-disciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention based on the increasing evidence that such models make a difference. There is also a need to promote and facilitate high quality, evidence-based effective care to those who suffer a fragility fracture with a focus on the best outcomes for recovery, rehabilitation and secondary prevention of further fracture. The care community has to understand better the experience of fragility fracture from the perspective of the patient so that direct improvements in care can be based on the perspectives of the users. This book supports these needs by providing a comprehensive approach to nursing practice in fragility fracture care.

Humanity is aging. In the last century, life expectancy has increased by as much as 25 years, the greatest increase in 5'000 years of history. As a consequence the elderly constitute today the fastest growing segment of the world's population. This new situation creates many social problems and challenges to health care which both the developed as well as the developing countries will have to cope with. The present publication shows that scientific progress has reached a level where nutritional interventions may play a decisive part in the prevention of degenerative conditions of age, improvement of quality of life and impact on health care burden and resources. Topics deal with such different aspects as the influence of prenatal and early infant nutrition on the future aged individual and effects of energetic restriction on longevity. Further contributions include studies on mitochondrial alterations, digestive problems, specific metabolic deviations mediated by insulin, bone degradation, structural changes, neuromuscular dysfunctions, mental state of the elderly as well as the response of the immune system to nutrient intake. Finally the book offers a review of requirements appropriate to meet the age-related public health challenges of the 21st century.
