The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a combined exercise-nutrition intervention in primary clinics on sarcopenia indices, physical function, and quality of life in community-dwelling older adults with possible sarcopenia.
This study will investigate the effects of a 12-week combined exercise-nutrition intervention by comparing it with a control group receiving standard care (usual care) by assessing the sarcopenia indicators, functional recovery, and individual satisfaction. This is an interventional clinical study designed to recruit subjects, analyze data, identify problems, find improvement areas, and explore potential solutions.
