Abstract
Background
Age-related losses of muscle mass, strength, and function (sarcopenia) pose significant threats to physical performance, independence, and quality of life. Nutritional supplementation could positively influence aspects of sarcopenia and thereby prevent mobility disability.
Objective
To test the hypothesis that a specific oral nutritional supplement can result in improvements in measures of sarcopenia.
