5. 9. Skeletal Muscle Mass & Function in Older Women : Health-Enhancing Influences of Combined Resistance Exercise & Diet

   Författare :Emelie Strandberg; Fawzi Kadi; Elodie Ponsot; Carl-Johan Sundberg; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Healthy ageing; Chronic inflammation; C-reactive protein; Omega-3 fatty acids; Resistance training; Physical function;

   Sammanfattning : Ageing is accompanied by a progressive decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength which may lead to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living in older adults. Although the exact cause of the gradual decline in muscle mass is unknown, identifying efficient strategies aiming to prevent age-related loss of muscle mass and strength is important in order to promote healthy ageing.
