Resumo

Sarcopenia é um distúrbio progressivo do músculo esquelético caracterizado pela redução da força e qualidade. Mecanismos fisiopatológicos, aspectos clínicos e nutricionais foram relacionados à sarcopenia no COVID-19 encontrada no músculo esquelético, durante e após o curso da doença, o que corroborou para o desenvolvimento de eventos adversos. O declínio da atividade física, a ingestão insuficiente de proteínas e piora da resposta pró-inflamatória demonstraram ter consequências negativas na síntese de proteínas musculares, potencializando risco de sarcopenia. A obesidade sarcopênica também demonstrou piorar o prognóstico de pacientes infectados com SARS-CoV-2. A reabilitação nutricional pode prevenir ou minimizar o desenvolvimento de sarcopenia. As recomendações dietéticas incluem maior oferta de energia e maior ingestão de proteínas de 1,2 a 2,0 g/kg de peso corporal. Evidências sugerem que o envelhecimento com comportamentos sedentários, alterações fisiopatológicas e inflamação, alterações na composição corporal, deficiências nutricionais são preditores e agravantes da sarcopenia aguda na COVID-19.
