Abstract

Introduction: Sarcopenia is characterized by the reduction of strength and muscle mass, presenting itself as a public health problem that affects individuals over the years. Multifactorial, it can be related to diseases in the functioning of the organs, physical inactivity and poor diet. The possibility of a correlation between dietary patterns and sarcopenia has been studied, indicating a good relationship between a healthy habitual diet and protection against the development of this syndrome. Objective: To analyze the association between the eating patterns of the elderly and the appearance of sarcopenia. Materials and Methods: This is a systematic review, which was prepared following the items of preferential reports for systematic analysis and meta-analyzes (PRISMA), carried out through the electronic databases: PubMed, Embase and Web of Science that after an evaluation the articles, counted as a final sample of 05 studies. Results: Through the analysis of studies that varied between the years 2008 to 2020, most of which were published in 2020, it was possible to verify different types of dietary patterns and how they influence prevention, delayed sarcopenia or risk of developing it, suggesting a positive association between healthier eating patterns in the treatment of age-related muscle loss and muscle strength. Conclusion: The role of good nutrition in human aging is evident, both in the prevention and in the control of sarcopenia, however, it was clear that there is no specific dietary pattern, but different healthy eating patterns that present promising results in terms of development of sarcopenia.
