COVID-19 convalescents are at risk of developing acute sarcopenia. In elderly patients, the risk is exceptionally high, given the presence of predisposing factors and the initial sarcopenic state before the onset of infection. This phenotype is referred to as «acute chronic» sarcopenia in the literature. It is now known that sarcopenia is associated with an increased risk of falls, fractures, and hospital admissions, reduced quality of life, disability, higher incidence of hospital-acquired infection in older patients, mortality, and according to recent data, the risk of developing adverse COVID-19 outcomes. Therefore, timely diagnostic and preventive measures can be crucial in increasing survival and improving the quality of life in patients with sarcopenia. The review analyzed data from publicly available scientific sources from PubMed/MedLine, Elsevier, and eLibrary, accumulated over the pandemic years. Also, a comprehensive evaluation of various factors during the new coronavirus infection potentiating the development and progression of sarcopenia was performed. Understanding and further enhancing knowledge of the pathogenetic mechanisms of muscle tissue damage associated with COVID-19 is necessary to develop different management strategies and effective preventive measures for such patients.
