Sarcopenia, an often overlooked yet prevalent condition within the field of gerontology, affects a significant portion of older men and women. Despite its prevalence, awareness of its clinical significance remains relatively low. It was only formally recognized by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) in 2016, highlighting the urgent need for consistent and effective methods of identification and management. This second edition of Sarcopenia aims to provide geriatricians and other healthcare professionals with a comprehensive and revised examination of this understudied and underdiagnosed condition. Edited by two esteemed authorities in the field, the book delves into the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment options, and potential prevention strategies associated with sarcopenia.

Comprising eight newly written chapters, this important text offers a wealth of fresh data on various topics, including sarcopenia biomarkers and their impact on the healthcare economy. By defining sarcopenia and elucidating its clinical relevance, the book serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and professionals working in geriatric care, nursing homes, nutrition, cancer, endocrinology, surgery, sports medicine, and numerous other specialties.

In conclusion, Sarcopenia, second edition, is a groundbreaking and indispensable new resource that empowers healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to address this understudied condition. By raising awareness, promoting early detection, and implementing effective management strategies, we can enhance the well-being and quality of life of older individuals, ultimately reducing the burden of sarcopenia on societies and the healthcare system.
