Hip fractures are a common occurrence in older adults. Their prevalence is increasing globally and have a significant impact on older adults. Sarcopenia could be considered as a hip fracture risk factor. The diagnosis of sarcopenia in hip fracture patients is a challenge for health professionals. A multidisciplinary rehabilitative intervention seems to be effective in functioning in hip fracture patients with sarcopenia. Evidence shows that multicomponent exercise interventions that encompass strength training and balance exercise may increase mobility and quality of life. The nutritional supplementation and exercise programs are mandatory for sarcopenia prevention and treatment.
