**5. Conclusion**

Sarcopenia is a morbid condition that involves the skeletal musculature and has repercussions on a multisystem level. It is a chronic but reversible process as well as preventable. The most effective approach consists in exercising appropriately supplemented by nutritional supplementation, in particular with essential amino acids. The hope is that efforts will be intensified in prevention, through lifestyle changes, and in the implementation of screening for an early diagnosis of sarcopenia, a very pathological condition underestimated as widespread.
