The average life rate in the world increases over time. The length of life and the increase in the age of the population also bring different problems. In particular, the increase in health problems in the age of age can be a serious public health problem. Therefore, the concept of geriatrics, which is an area of concern with the health problems of older individuals, comes to the forefront. Geriatric syndrome is a concept used to identify health problems that do not match separate categories of disease in elderly individuals. Sarcopene, a geriatric syndrome that meets this concept, has been used to identify post-age-related muscle mass, muscle quality and loss of muscle strength in anabolic and catabolic processes, where different mechanisms play a role in its formation. Because sarcopene occurs with very different mechanisms, various methods are applied in therapy and prevention, farmacological and non-farmacological. Different studies have been conducted on the use of plants in the treatment of sarcopene. It has been shown that different phytotherapies can improve muscle mass and muscle quality, and are effective in preventing muscle strength loss.
