Brief Summary  

Background: Sarcopenia, an age related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function is also seen in younger individuals and may lead to disability and future complications. The trajectory of one’s muscle loss can be altered by physical exercise and/or the environment, which are the modifiable risk factors.

 

Novelty: Indian population has been shown to have higher body fat and relatively lower quality and quantity of skeletal muscle mass which may increase risk of sarcopenia. This may contribute to the high prevalence of insulin resistance and its complications. Effective interventions for sarcopenia are likely to have impact on obesity and related metabolic problems. There is paucity of data in this regard in Indian population.  

 

Objectives: To compare the effect of nutritional intervention along with progressive resistance training and nutritional intervention along with standard physical activity on skeletal muscle mass and function, and metabolic parameters in obese sarcopenic individuals.

 

Methods: This randomized controlled trial will include 140 obese patients with sarcopenia divided into two intervention arms (nutritional intervention with resistance exercise vs. nutritional interventions with standard exercise) for a period of 6 months. Anthropometry, biochemistry and muscle strength will be assessed at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Whole body DEXA scan and plain CT scan at L3-4 level for skeletal muscle area will be done at baseline and at 6 months.

              

Expected outcomes: Combination of nutritional intervention along with progressive resistance training is likely to improve skeletal muscle mass and function in obese sarcopenic individuals which may be helpful in designing appropriate interventions for sarcopenia.
