By Xinxin Zhang, Simin Fan, Junru Zan and 2 others.
Abstract
Objective
This study compared the relative effects of distinct nutritional strategies on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in older adults with sarcopenia or at high risk of sarcopenia.
Methods
PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CNKI were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Random-effects pairwise meta-analysis and network meta-analysis (NMA) were performed. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) was used to summarize relative rankings, and CINeMA was applied to assess the certainty of evidence.
