Isanejad M, et al. - Researchers investigated if higher adherence to Baltic Sea diet (BSD) and Mediterranean diet (MED) have a beneficial association with sarcopenia indices in elderly women. They studied women, aged 65–72 years belonging to OSTPRE-FPS study and found that less relative skeletal muscle index and total body lean mass (LM) was lost over 3-year in women who had higher quartiles of BSD and MED scores. At the baseline, greater LM, faster walking speed 10 m, greater lower body muscle quality (LBMQ), higher short physical performance battery (SPPB) score, and higher proportion of squat test completion was found to be present in women in the higher BSD score quartiles. Similarly, significantly faster walking speed 10 m, greater LBMQ and higher proportion of squat test completion was observed in women in the higher quartiles of MED sore. Overall, higher adherence to BSD and MED, a measure of better diet quality, might attenuate the risk of sarcopenia in elderly women.
