The loss of muscle mass, strength, and function due to aging is defined as sarcopenia (Holmes et al., 2017). Sarcopenia is a reduc- tion of skeletal muscle mass that is associated with aging in older adults (Jeon et al., 2015). Sarcopenia can not only lead to dimin- ished skeletal muscles, but also to reduced mobility, an increased risk of falls and fractures, a decrease in activity related to daily liv- ing, increased medical costs, increased mortality risk, and a de- crease in one’s quality of life (Cruz-Jentoft et al., 2010; Rolland et al., 2008).
