Sarcopenia is defined, in the Greek language, as “poverty of the flesh” and, at first, it was treated as the natural process of aging related to the decline of the lean mass [1]. This concept, however, is still not established. Some authors limit sarcopenia only to the loss of lean mass, others also associate it with loss of muscle strength - called dynapenia - unifying the two concepts [2]. Furthermore, sarcopenia is not only linked to the aging process, as it involves a multifactorial system such as obesity, for example...
