Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, can be diagnosed by having an appendicular skeletal muscle mass divided by height squared that is greater than two standard deviations (SD) or more lower than a mean derived from a healthy young reference sample. Obesity can be defined as having a body mass index greater than 30kg/m2. Sarcopenic obesity, if not treated, can lead to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, muscular deficiencies, and biomechanical problems
