Sarcopenia decreases with exercise in RA patients
Rheumatoid arthritis and age are usually associated with high sarcopenia risk. Exercise is an effective treatment for preventing muscle mass loss in older adult populations. Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of muscle strength and mass, leading to falls and adverse health outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether exercise affects muscle mass in people with rheumatoid arthritis....
Rheumatoid arthritis and age are usually associated with high sarcopenia risk. Exercise is an effective treatment for preventing muscle mass loss in older adult populations. Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of muscle strength and mass, leading to falls and adverse health outcomes. However, it remains unclear whether exercise affects muscle mass in people with rheumatoid arthritis. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis, Chun-De Liao and team found that exercise reduced risk of developing sarcopenia in elderly patients and therapy effectively increased muscle mass in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
The study has been published in Clinical Rehabilitation.
