Sarcopenia, a skeletal muscle degenerative condition, is inextricably linked to the physiological processes of aging. Sarcopenia is characterized by a reduction in muscle mass, a decline in muscle strength, and/or deterioration of physical function. Comprehensive interventions are essential for the management of sarcopenia. The team from the National Clinical Research Center for Geriatrics has authored the "Comprehensive intervention for sarcopenia among older adults: an evidence-based clinical practice guideline" which discuss the specific contents of exercise, nutrition, and drug interventions for sarcopenia. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of the guidelines to facilitate their dissemination, promotion, and application.
