Association between mitochondrial function measured by 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy and physical performance in older people with functional impairment
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is a potential therapeutic target to improve skeletal muscle function, but the contribution of mitochondrial dysfunction to impaired skeletal muscle performance in older people remains unclear. The aim of this analysis was to test the association between measures of skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and physical performance in older people.
