Introduction: The world population is aging. It is estimated that in Brazil, in the last 60 years, there has been an increase of more than 15 million elderly individuals. The Ministry of Health accepts that in the elderly, defined as 60 years or older, there is an increase in the prevalence of chronic and disabling diseases, such as obesity and sarcopenia. The latter is defined by the gradual loss of skeletal muscle mass which results in a reduction in both muscle endurance and muscle strength.Objective: To identify the prevalence of sarcopenia among obese elderly who are followed up at the Obesity Outpatient Clinic of CESUPA Medical Center (CEMEC).Methodology: The study analyzed 14 patients who were enrolled at the CEMEC Obesity Outpatient Clinic. Data collection was performed in 2 steps. In the first, data on age, gender, previous diagnoses and occurrence of falls were collected in a specific research form. Then, the participants were submitted to anthropometric measurements, body composition evaluation and functional performance tests. Bioimpedance, Grip Hand Strength Test, Timed up and go and Gait Speed were used. The 2018 European Criteria (EWGSOP2) were used as a reference for the diagnosis of sarcopenia.Results: It was observed that none of the analyzed sample had a diagnosis for sarcopenia, however, two patients had lower palmar grip strength, which was classified as probable sarcopenia.Conclusion: This study concluded that although results were negative to confirm the diagnosis of sarcopenia in the sample, relevant changes in body composition and physical performance were perceived, thus contributing in the future to the establishment of a condition with sarcopenia and its complications.

Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function that naturally occurs with aging. This can lead to decreased mobility, increased risk of falls, and impacts quality of life. The objective of this study was to identify nutritional strategies for the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in the literature. For the development of this integrative review, 90 scientific articles in English and Portuguese were selected, from 2014 to 2023, in the following databases: Google Scholar, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), Scielo and Capes Journals. The results found for this review were 13 scientific articles that were related to the theme. The nutritional guidelines found in the present study address adequate supplementation of proteins, whey protein, creatine, leucine, vitamin D, beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate acid (HMB), omega-3, Mediterranean diet in conjunction with the practice of physical exercise, playing a crucial role in ensuring that the muscles receive regular stimuli. Through the present study it was possible to identify the importance of an adequate diet such as the Mediterranean diet along with physical exercise and the main supplements such as: whey protein, creatine, vitamin D, B, E and C, magnesium, zinc, HMB, selenium, calcium, omega 3, leucine in order to contribute to the prevention and improvement of muscle endurance to have a possible progress in relation to this subject.
