Sarcopenic obesity is a condition where individuals have both excess body fat and reduced muscle mass, commonly observed in older adults. This combination of low muscle mass and high fat levels can make it difficult to manage weight and increases the risk of frailty, disability, and metabolic disorders like diabetes. Sarcopenic obesity is associated with poor functional outcomes, such as limited mobility and decreased strength. To manage this condition, it is crucial to focus on increasing muscle mass through resistance training exercises, ensuring adequate protein intake, and maintaining an active lifestyle. A balanced diet, combined with regular physical activity, is essential in addressing both fat accumulation and muscle loss, improving overall health and preventing complications related to sarcopenic obesity.
