The impact of obesity and obesity-dynapenia on skeletal muscle function and markers of mitochondrial metabolism in elderly men
FY 2015-16
Summary
With aging, fat mass increases together with a decrease of muscle mass. Obesity has an impact on muscle quality and muscle metabolism. Furthermore, declin of muscle mass and function could be a negative impact on life quality in elderly. The aim of the study is to investigate whether obesity and combinaison of obesity and decrease of muscle function have an different impact on muscle physiology.
