The aims of this study are to establish the cohort of elder population based on parameters of health-related fitness, body compositions, blood biochemistry, blood biomarker, balance, quality of life, and musculoskeletal ultrasonography; and to evaluate the association between fitness parameters and disease incidence with those data.
The aims of this study are to establish the cohort of elder population based on parameters of health-related fitness, body compositions, blood biochemistry, blood biomarker, balance, quality of life, and musculoskeletal ultrasonography and to evaluate the association between fitness parameters and disease incidence with these data. We expect to recruit 1200 adults who attend the annual health check-up in National Taiwan University, BeiHu Branch in 2016 and 2017 and to train 60 individuals having sarcopenia with strengthening exercise. This study will establish the urban elderly cohort, measure both physical and functional parameters, find the risk factors for aging, and validate the role of strength training for those sarcopenia patients. We hope this study will be widely cited in related fields in the future.
Inclusion criteria:
The investigators are ready to find out the individuals aged above 65 years and having sarcopenia. The 60 individuals must be evaluated their physical fitness in advance. The investigators plan to perform exercise and nutrition intervention for the individuals.
Exclusion criteria:
