improve frailty status in those at risk of, or following, fragility fractures (Box 3.3): (1) exercise (aerobic and resistance), (2) calorie and protein supplementation, (3) vitamin D supplementation, and (4) reduction of polypharmacy [9, 17, 34] (Box 3.5).
• Planned exercise can develop muscle strength and improve physical performance and functionality [36] as well as decrease depression and fear of falling [9]. A mix of specically prescribed aerobic and resistance exercises improves frailty and is effective in preventing its adverse outcomes [37, 38]. One systematic review found that an exercise programme, continued three times a week for 30–45min per session for approximately 5months, had positive impact [39].
• In frail older people with signicant weight loss, it is essential to identify the cause (Chap. 8). Dietary caloric supplementation has been shown to be success­ful in achieving weight gain and reducing complications in malnourished indi­viduals [40]. Protein supplementation of 15 g of protein twice a day over 24weeks improves muscle strength and physical performance [41], while oral nutritional supplements provide additional protein and calories.
• Vitamin D supplementation can play a role in preventing or treating frailty by enhancing balance and maintaining muscle strength [42] but, while this is likely to be benecial for frail older people, there have been no large-scale studies that have conrmed this to be the case on its own [9].
• Undertaking a medication review and considering side effects, interactions, and consequences for frailty are essential. Medication review and reduction of poly­pharmacy have also been advocated as an option for improving outcomes, espe­cially in reducing mortality, hospital admissions, and falls [43].
These four interventions should be considered following frailty assessment so
that they can be individually tailored to target specic identied problems and needs through an interdisciplinary approach [44].
As well as these interventions, it is essential that the clinical team work collab-
oratively with the patient and their family to understand their degree of frailty and how it has contributed to their current health status. It is equally important for the patient to understand that frailty is reversible and that working towards a greater degree of well-being is likely to both improve the outcomes from the current health event as well as help to prevent further fractures. Patients also need to be able to believe in their own inuence over their future health, and the health-promoting role of the clinical team is essential in achieving this. It is vital that these messages are relayed to the patient and their family from the beginning of their hospital stay and throughout the pathway to rehabilitation and beyond.

3.6 Sarcopenia
Frailty and sarcopenia are linked, while frailty is a geriatric syndrome, sarcopenia is a disease. Sarcopenia contributes to the development of physical frailty and physical decline so is an important consideration in the care and management of patients with fragility fractures. Sarcopenia is a muscle disease rooted in adverse muscle changes that accrue across a lifetime, which can be viewed as ‘muscle failure’. With the continued increase in the older global population, sarcopenia has become a seri­ous international public health problem. It can occur at any age but is most common among older adults.
Sarcopenia is characterised by low levels of muscle strength, muscle quantity/
quality, and physical performance. It is a ‘progressive and generalised skeletal mus-
cle disorder that is associated with increased likelihood of adverse outcomes includ­ing falls, fractures, physical disability and mortality’ ([45] p.18).
The overall prevalence of sarcopenia is reported to be 10% [46], but it is more
common in women than men [4] (Martin and Ranhoff 2021). Changes in body com­position occur with normal physiological ageing [47]. Body weight usually increases during adulthood and peaks at the age of 65years in women and 54years in men [48]. In later life, muscle mass is lost at a rate of approximately 8% per decade between the ages of 50 and 70years. After the age of 70years, weight loss is cou­pled with an accelerated loss of muscle mass, reaching a rate of 15% in each decade [48]. In addition to this age-related decline in muscle mass, important factors in progression of loss include [4]:
1. Declining physical activity
2. Reduced food intake
3. Chronic health conditions and acute illness
The presence of these factors provides important indicators for the management
and prevention of sarcopenia.
Sarcopenia is a powerful predictor of disability that is associated with age-related
loss of muscle mass and strength which, in turn, affects balance, gait, and overall ability to perform tasks of daily living [49, 50]. The risk of disability is 1.5–4.6 times higher in older people with sarcopenia than in those with normal muscle. These common age-related changes in skeletal muscle are major causes of impaired physical function in older adults, contributing to impaired mobility, falls, and hospitalisation.
The causes of sarcopenia are multifactorial and can include muscle disuse,
changing endocrine function, chronic diseases, inammation, insulin resistance, and nutritional deciencies [51]. Reductions in testosterone and oestrogen that accompany ageing appear to accelerate its development [52]. It has also become apparent that the Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increase in the incidence of sar­copenia because of both the physiological impact of the virus itself and the impact on social activity in older people whose physical and social activity, particularly

outside of the home, has been limited by lockdown restrictions and fear, leading to deconditioning [51, 52].
3.6.1 Screening andAssessment forSarcopenia
Since sarcopenia, frailty, osteoporosis, and fragility fracture are linked [4], identify­ing sarcopenia in those with or at risk of fragility fracture is central in both fracture prevention and recovery/rehabilitation following fractures. An interdisciplinary approach to management of sarcopenia begins with diagnosis so that the team can plan care accordingly.
Sarcopenia, like many other health conditions, is asymptomatic in its initial
stages, when interventions can best prevent the adverse health outcomes [53]. Screening tends not to be a routine aspect of clinical practice, partly because of the lack of appropriate screening strategies [54].
Several expert groups have convened with the goal of establishing a consensus
about diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia [45, 55–58]. In 2010, the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) published a sarcopenia denition [44, 56] that aimed to foster advances in identifying and caring for people with sar­copenia. The group met again (EWGSOP2) in 2019 to update the original denition to reect progress over the previous decade [45], identifying three criteria for the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Common tests used in the diagnosis of sarcopenia are out­lined in Box 3.6.
Box 3.6 Common tests for the diagnosis of sarcopenia [45, 56]
1. Low muscle strength is the primary parameter of sarcopenia and the most
reliable measure of muscle function.
Measuring grip strength is simple and inexpensive using a calibrated handheld dynamometer. The chair stand test (or chair rise test) can be used to assess the strength of leg muscles (quadriceps muscle group). This measures the amount of time needed for a person to rise ve times from a seated position with­out using their arms.
2. Low muscle quantity or quality conrms the presence of sarcopenia.
3. Low physical performance
Physical performance can be measured by gait speed and the timed-up and go test (TUG), among other tests.
• Probable sarcopenia is identied by criterion 1
• Diagnosis is conrmed by criterion 2
• If all three criteria are met, sarcopenia is considered to be severe.

The screening tests outlined above are important aspects of fracture prevention
and are central to CGA as well as frailty assessment. In orthogeriatric care settings, screening and assessment are best done through an interdisciplinary approach, with specic collaboration needed among physiotherapists, geriatricians/physicians, and the nursing team. An important consideration in assessing muscle strength, quality, quantity, and physical performance is that the person with a signicant new fragility fracture affecting physical function will be unable to perform the test. Hence, taking a history of their functional abilities prior to the fracture will be important instead. Physical performance measures may also be affected by issues such as memory loss, or gait and/or balance problems.

3.6.2 The Clinical Consequences ofSarcopenia
Osteoporosis predicts the future risk of fracture, and sarcopenia is a powerful pre­dictor of future disability [47] alongside frailty. Reduced muscle mass and strength are also associated with lower bone mineral density [59, 60], consistent with the ‘mechanostat’ theory of bone loss due to reduced forces of muscle on bone [61]. Sarcopenia also contributes to falls and, consequently, increases fracture risk [62,
63]. There is signicant evidence that low muscle mass and strength are associated
with fractures [63]. Several studies have conrmed associations between low mus­cle mass, future functional decline, and physical disability [2]. Physical inactivity or decreased physical activity is part of the underlying mechanisms of sarcopenia, so physical activity is important in reversing or modifying it, especially given the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on outdoor activity in older people in many communities.
Several interventions have been proposed for the treatment of loss of muscle and
strength, but exercise is central. Sarcopenia has also been linked to higher hospitali­sation rates, increased morbidity, and mortality [64, 65]. Sarcopenia may also be associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidae­mia, and hypertension.
3.6.3 Interventions toPrevent Sarcopenia
It is better to prevent progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and func­tion rather than try to restore it later, so preventive strategies should be initiated early, before loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength occurs. These are particularly important considerations in primary and secondary fragility fracture prevention ser­vices (see Chap. 5).
Since important causes of depleted muscle mass are declining activity, depleted
nutrition, and acute and chronic health conditions, these are central factors in pre­venting and managing sarcopenia. These issues are frequently discussed throughout this book and are central to both frailty management and orthogeriatric care. Interventions for this are discussed earlier in this chapter in relation to frailty.

Exercise is considered in more detail in Chap. 8 and nutrition in Chap. 11. A brief overview of these main interventions for sarcopenia will be provided here, however, for the sake of completeness.
Exercise interventions have the most signicant potential to improve sarcopenia.
The benets of physical activity in older people include lower mortality and better functional independence (Chap. 6). There are four specic categories of recom­mended exercise: (1) aerobic exercise, (2) progressive resistance exercise, (3) ex­ibility exercise, and (4) balance training [3]. See Chap. 8.
Nutrition is also important in preventing and reversing sarcopenia. Increasing
age is associated with reduced appetite and early satiety, resulting in many older people failing to meet the recommended daily dietary allowance (RDA) for protein, which has important implications for skeletal muscles [66]. Older adults will require higher dietary protein (up to 1.2g/kg/day) to counteract age-related changes in pro­tein metabolism and higher catabolic state associated with chronic or acute diseases [67]. See Chap. 11.
It is the combination of exercise and nutrition interventions that are key to pre-
venting, treating, and slowing down the progression of sarcopenia [66]. Pharmaceutical agents are under investigation but with no current proven benet with inadequate evidence to support their use. Low serum vitamin D levels are asso­ciated with reduced muscle strength, and it has also been demonstrated that a dose­response relationship exists between serum levels and muscle health. If serum levels are low, vitamin D should be replaced with replenishment dosages ranging from 700 to 1000IU/day [68].
Implementing interventions for frailty and sarcopenia has several challenges and
barriers. One systematic review demonstrated that older people believe that exercise is unnecessary or, even, potentially harmful [69]. Others recognise the benets of exercise but report a range of barriers to participation in exercise interventions. Raising awareness is important to enhance exercise participation among older peo­ple and to prevent sarcopenia.
Another barrier that needs to be considered in planning long-term strategies to
prevent and treat sarcopenia in older people is the nancial ability to attend exercise programmes [44]. Factors such as access to food, nances, and social isolation may all impact an older person’s ability to obtain optimal food intake.

3.7 Conclusion
Both frailty and sarcopenia are linked with falls and fragility fractures, although they are concepts relatively new to nurses and other health professionals working in clinical settings outside of dedicated geriatric/elder care units. Being able to iden­tify frailty and sarcopenia and plan and implement interventions for their modica­tion are important skills for all members of the interdisciplinary team. Managing these conditions and their associated effects will be central to improving recovery and outcomes following fragility fracture.

3.9 How toSelf-Assess Learning
• Discuss what you have learned about frailty and sarcopenia with other team members.
• Consider a patient you recently provided care for who you recognise as being frail or having sarcopenia or both. Make some notes about how your understand­ing of these issues has improved since reading this chapter. Discuss with your clinical colleagues how the care of the patient could have been improved in light of this learning.
