Sažetak
In a healthy individual, regardless of their age, bone and muscle grow in harmony with changes in weight. This harmony may be impaired in some older individuals resulting in obese persons with too low muscle strength relative to their body size. Obesity is defined as abnormal or extensive fat accumulation that negatively affects health and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) it encompasses all persons with Body Mass Index (BMI) higher than 30 kg/m2 or waist circumference greater than 102 cm in men and 88 cm in women. Sarcopenia is term which was originally chosen to represent age-related muscle loss. In elderly, due to age-related changes in body composition, as well as the increased prevalence of obesity, a combination of excess weight and reduced muscle mass or strength occurs. This combination is defined in scientific literature as sarcopenic obesity (SO). Obesity is a strong risk factor for poor health, reduced functional capacity and quality of life in older persons. Analogously, low muscle strength has proven to be strong predictor of functional capacity, institutionalization and mortality. Available scientific evidence indicate that when obesity and muscle impairment co-exist they act synergistically on the risk of developing multiple health related outcomes. SO and diet connection, with the respect to sarcopenia rather than obesity, relies mostly on a few diet segments including proteins, vitamin D, fruit and vegetables intake and oily fish consumption. The aim of this overview is to present current status of SO definition, diagnostic, prevalence and dietary approaches with potential positive impact on its prevention and management.
