SARCOPENIA : Immunological Perspective and Efficacy of Exercise Interventions

Abstract

Sarcopenia (Greek word “sarx” or flesh; penia or loss), syndrome is a progressive as well as ongoing and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength along with the risk of adverse outcome such as physical disability, poor quality of life and death. Various studies were conducted related to Sarcopenia and believed that signs of this disease kindred with ageing are an unpreventable process. In this regard, immunological and physiological interventions should be taken pertaining to slow down the ageing process. In this review article, we discuss about correlation of Sarcopenia and understanding its mechanism related to immunological perspective and physiotherapy interventions specifically in relation to loss of muscle mass and strength. In addition, we also understanding the mechanism of this disease associated with ageing process.
