| Summary: | Sarcopenia is a condition of progressive loss of muscle mass, moststudied in patients of senile age. Sarcopenia is described in children with oncological diseases, severe surgical pathology, in the perioperative period with liver transplantation, immobility in children with cerebral palsy. Sarcopenia is associated with adverse disease outcomes. This article discusses the problem of sarcopenia using the example of patients with stable dysmotility and posture. In addition to limited mobility, among the causes of sarcopenia are impairment of the ability to eat, the availability of basic nutrients and vitamin D, and a change in the intestinal microbiome. Nutritional support combined with physical rehabilitation has been shown to be effective in reversing sarcopenia. |
