Sarcopenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Detection and Treatment of Sarcopenia and Myosteatosis in Older African Americans
The objectives of this study are to: 1) validate a rapid, portable, cost-effective method for screening myosteatosis and sarcopenia using diagnostic ultrasound, and 2) investigate a novel approach to progressive resistance exercise involving eccentric muscle actions that will counter the local effects of myosteatosis and sarcopenia in African Americans.
The rationale for this study is the need to proactively address health disparities associated with age-related skeletal muscle dysfunction. Age-related changes in muscle may be characterized by sarcopenia (i.e., loss of muscle mass) and/or myosteatosis (i.e., excessive intramuscular adipose tissue). These changes may result in physical impairments that may be exacerbated by the lack of a formal screening and diagnosis process for older adults in standard healthcare settings. Myosteatosis may compound the effects of sarcopenia and play a significant role the age-related functional decline and higher incidence of type 2 diabetes observed in African Americans in comparison to other ethnic/racial groups. The initial phase of the study will involve the assessment of older African Americans (n = 70) to characterize muscle size and quality in comparison to a younger reference group (n = 70). Participants randomly selected from the older subject pool will be assigned to either the Eccentric Exercise Group or the Concentric Exercise Group for 12 weeks of a supervised strengthening exercise regimen. ;
