The purpose of this study is not only to define and cause of sarcopenia and frailty due to aging, but also to explore prevention and delay through regular exercise and right nutrition. Sarcopenia and frailty are known to cause frailty, cachexia, osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome and early death due to decreased muscle mass and muscle function caused by aging. The two disease were related to nervous system damage and lack of protein synthesis within the muscles due to the increase in the amount of oxidative stress, and inadequate nutrition and lack of physical activity. It also emphasizes the role and importance of right nutrition and physical activity (such as aerobic exercise, resistance movement, etc) to prevent and improve such syndromes. Conclusions, it is in proposing the supply of high-quality protein, including regular exercise, as the most beneficial way to prevent and overcome aging-related sarcopenia and frailty.
