In a new expert review, researchers examine gaps in how muscle health is addressed in clinical nutrition and lay out a research agenda for moving the field forward. In the review, published in Clinical Nutrition, the experts draw on existing research on muscle health across aging, cancer, critical illness, diabetes and obesity to consider how muscle health can be better incorporated into clinical nutrition.

Ultimately, the authors propose that “muscle health should be recognized as a central and measurable target of clinical nutrition rather than a secondary or downstream outcome.”
