This article summarized the related studies on the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia in elderly patients with tradi-tional Chinese and Western medicine,including western medicine,nutritional support,exercise therapy,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),acupuncture,massage,Baduanjin,and other traditional characteristic therapies.These methods can strengthen muscle strength and muscle mass,improve gait and ability to daily life,and reinforce the balance ability of patients with sarcopenia.They can improve skeletal muscle atrophy by reducing inflammation,increasing antioxidant capacity,and promoting apoptosis and protein synthesis.Nutritional support and exercise therapy are the main prevention and treatment methods for sarcopenia in elderly patients,but western medicine is still in the exploratory stage and has not been widely used.TCM has definite curative effects and few side effects in treating sarcopenia in elderly patients,but the clinical application and mechanism of TCM in sarcopenia in elderly patients is not in-depth enough,and the value of TCM needs to be further explored,so as to provide more and better treatment methods for elderly patients with sarcopenia.
