This article discusses the impact of muscle loss to both adult patients and the NHS. Early diagnosis and intervention are fundamental in trying to reduce the impact of this on clinical outcomes as well as NHS costs. One of the interventions discussed in more detail in this article is the management of patients with or at risk of muscle loss and/or malnutrition with oral nutritional supplements containing HMB.

Abstract: This article by Richie Kirwan, discusses the casual effect that vitamin D potentially has in increasing muscle mass. There is emerging evidence for the importance of vitamin D in musculoskeletal health. Therefore, ensuring adequate serum vitamin D levels is a realistic and easy strategy to improve muscle health. Vitamin D, combined with resistance exercise and adequate protein intake could help improve quality of life and reduce the risk of common, chronic diseases of ageing.

Abstract: This article discusses the importance of muscle mass in improving clinical outcomes and quality of life. There is a need to change the current malnutrition management approach from a focus on weight to targeting muscle mass. Screening tools should include assessment of muscle mass, and there should be a focus on the maintenance of muscle mass as a malnutrition management strategy.
