Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of muscle strength training combined with nutritional intervention on senile sarcopenia.Methods Totally 60 elderly sarcopenia patients admitted to the author's hospital between August 2022 and August 2023 were selected and divided into a control group of 29 and an observation group of 31,according to a random number table.Both groups were given routine nursing,while the observation group was additionally provided with muscle strength training and nutrition intervention.Then,the muscle strength,ability of daily living and physical activity were compared between the two groups.Results After 6 months of intervention,the muscle strength of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(t=2.573,P=0.022),and the self-care ability and physical fitness of the former group were significantly better than the latter(t=2.201,P=0.032;t=6.384,P=0.017).Conclusion Muscle strength training and nutritional intervention can effectively improve the muscle strength,activities of daily living and physical fitness of elderly patients with sarcopenia.Therefore,such combination is worthy of clinical promotion and use.
