Abstract

BACKGROUND: Aging alters biological processes resulting in body fat redistribution, loss of lean muscle mass, and reduced muscle strength, termed sarcopenia. Nutrition is an important modifiable risk factor in the development of sarcopenia. Food insecurity refers to limited or uncertain access to enough food for an active, healthy life, and is prevalent among older adults. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between food insecurity and probable sarcopenia in older adults.
METHODS: We examined 3632 adults
