Avicenna's Views on Lifestyle Recommendations for the Elderly: Strategies to Address Age-Related Sarcopenia

Abstract

In this paper, we are writing to delve into Avicenna's perspective on lifestyle recommendations for the elderly, with a specific focus on addressing age-related sarcopenia.  Avicenna, also known as Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Abd Allah ibn Sina (born August 22, 980; passed away June 22, 1037), was a notable figure in Persian medicine. Avicenna's insights into lifestyle recommendations for the elderly offer valuable guidance for preventing age-related sarcopenia. His emphasis on proper nutrition, physical activity, massage, and stress reduction resonates with current research in the field. Integrating Avicenna's recommendations into geriatric medicine may yield improved outcomes for elderly individuals at risk of sarcopenia.
