ABSTRACT

Objective: Aging is a natural degenerative process that occurs with advancing age; however, when this process is abnormally exacerbated, it may progress to frailty. This process may be accompanied by a decline in muscle mass, and when this decline becomes severe, sarcopenia may be diagnosed. Sarcopenia is a multifactorial condition that increases the risk of reduced physical activity and disease development, and these risks may, in turn, further accelerate sarcopenia, creating a self-reinforcing vicious cycle. Nevertheless, symptoms can be improved through appropriate nutritional and exercise interventions in the early stages, highlighting the importance of timely and appropriate therapeutic management. Case Report: This case report describes a Korean patient in their 80s who was suspected of sarcopenia during hospitalization. The patient presented with rapid weight loss and decreased appetite, for which Ortho-Cellular Nutrition Therapy (OCNT) was administered. The prescribed regimen included protein, bromelain, zinc, vitamin D, minerals, and fructooligosaccharides. As a result, the extent of weight loss was reduced, appetite was restored, and overall physical vitality was observed to improve. Conclusion: As the present case was limited to a single patient, its findings have limited generalizability to all patients with sarcopenia. Nevertheless, this case is considered meaningful in that it provides a preliminary basis suggesting that appropriately tailored OCNT, informed by the patient’s clinical circumstances, may contribute to the improvement of aging-related sarcopenia and its associated symptoms.
