Abstract

          Sarcopenia, a geriatric syndrome, becomes more prevalent with advanced age. Typically, it results from progressive muscle mass loss and decreased muscle strength and/or physical function, leading to functional decline and an increased risk of falls and fractures, requiring hospitalization. If early sarcopenia screening is not appropriately administered, the profound impacts of delayed prevention and treatment can result in adverse health outcomes, increased dependency, and a diminished quality of life for older adults. Given the essential role that nurses play in providing healthcare to older adults, understanding the concept of sarcopenia is crucial. This article aims to propose guidelines for managing sarcopenia in older adults, emphasizing the importance of early screening for sarcopenia in hospitals and community settings. The ultimate goal is to raise awareness, prevent sarcopenia, and mitigate its progression or severity, enabling older adults to maintain their independence.
