Conceptual Models of Frailty: The Sarcopenia Phenotype.
Canadian Journal of Cardiology 2016 September

Phenotypic criteria revolve around age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia. Skeletal muscle is crucial for functioning, mobility, energetics, and is the body's primary reservoir for amino acids. Sarcopenia can be assessed objectively, serving as an incremental predictor of adverse health outcomes and a therapeutic target for muscle-building interventions. Thus, the sarcopenia phenotype should be the central focus of frailty assessment and intervention.
