Resumen

La sarcopenia, caracterizada por la pérdida de masa muscular, es un problema creciente asociado al envejecimiento global. Los ácidos grasos omega-3, conocidos por sus propiedades antiinflamatorias y beneficios en la salud cardiovascular y cerebral, muestran potencial en la prevención y tratamiento de la sarcopenia, impulsando el aumento de masa muscular y reduciendo la resistencia a la insulina. Estudios variados sugieren que la suplementación con omega-3 puede mejorar significativamente la fuerza muscular y la funcionalidad en adultos mayores, aunque su impacto en el aumento de masa de tejido magro no es uniforme. Algunas investigaciones también destacan los beneficios del aceite de krill y fórmulas que combinan omega-3 con otros nutrientes, como leucina y probióticos. Sin embargo, la efectividad de estos suplementos puede variar según factores individuales como el estado de salud y la dieta general. Aunque existen evidencias positivas sobre los beneficios de los omega-3 en la mejora de la masa y función muscular, aún se requiere más investigación para comprender a fondo estos mecanismos. Se sugiere que la combinación de omega-3 con ejercicio físico, especialmente el entrenamiento de resistencia, podría ser una estrategia efectiva contra la sarcopenia en adultos mayores.
