GERONTOLOGY: AN INSIDE OUT PERSPECTIVE
Companion Animal Nutrition Summit (CAN) 2018
LEAN BODY MASS IN HEALTH AND LONGEVITY
Understanding how nutrients can influence the age-related loss of lean body mass
Cellular and Functional Mechanisms Underlying Muscle Aging and Associated Diseases
Daniel Béchet PhD
Unité de Nutrition Humaine/Clermont Université, France
Overview
One of the most dramatic effects of increasing age is the atrophy of skeletal muscle, referred to as sarcopenia, which is predictive of all-cause mortality in the elderly. This presentation presents an overview of human studies of sarcopenia and describes findings from the PROOF cohort.
The Role of n-3 PUFA on Muscle Mass and Function in Aging Humans
Bettina Mittendorfer PhD
Washington University School of Medicine, Center for Human Nutrition, St. Louis, MO, USA
Overview
The progressive atrophy of skeletal muscle in aging humans leads to reduced ability to generate and maintain muscle force. This loss of muscle mass and strength can negatively affect daily activities. This presentation reviews the results from recent studies that demonstrate protein intake above recommended daily amount does not appreciably increase protein synthesis.
Idiopathic Chronic Enteropathy in Older Cats
David A. Williams MA, VetMB, PhD, DACVIM, DECVIM
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, School of Veterinary Medicine, IL, USA
Overview
Up to 40% of cats over 10 years of age are affected by an enteropathy that causes malabsorption of a variety of nutrients and protein-losing enteropathy. This presentation reviews common age-related changes and opportunities to halt or reverse the decline in body weight.
Effect of Diet on Loss and Preservation of Lean Body Mass in Aging Dogs and Cats
Dorothy Laflamme DVM, PhD, DACVN
Overview
Sarcopenia is an age-related loss of lean body mass (LBM) independent of disease. It is a long-term process with a complex etiology. Importantly, sarcopenia increases the risks for mortality. Accumulating evidence in humans, dogs and cats, suggests links between dietary nutrients and the preservation of LBM in aging subjects.
