Background: Age-associated declines in muscle mass and function are major risk factors for
an impaired ability to carry out activities of daily living, falls, prolonged recovery time after
hospitalization, and mortality in older adults. New strategies that can slow the age-related
loss of muscle mass and function are needed to help older adults maintain adequate
performance status to reduce these risks and maintain independence. Objective: We
evaluated the efficacy of fish oil–derived n− 3 (ω-3) PUFA therapy to slow the age …
