Abstract: Sarcopenia in older adults is characterized by the core features of skeletal muscle mass loss, decreased muscle strength, and decline in physical function. It severely impacts activities of daily living and increases the risk of falls, disability, and mortality. With the accelerating aging of the global population, the clinical management of sarcopenia has become increasingly urgent. Traditional intervention methods are limited by issues such as uneven distribution of resources, low adherence, and insufficient personalization, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale elderly populations. In recent years, digital technologies have demonstrated significant potential in sarcopenia management due to their precision, convenience, and interactive advantages, becoming a focus of research. To conduct a scoping review of studies on the Application of digital technologies in the management of sarcopenia among older adults in Asian regions. Clinical research on digital technologies in sarcopenia interventions for older adults included mobile Applications, virtual reality, mixed reality, and artificial intelligence-assisted human pose estimation techniques. The studies were conducted in China, Thailand, and South Korea, with participants being sarcopenia patients aged 60-80 years from community or rural healthcare settings. The intervention duration ranged from 4 to 12 weeks. Applications of digital technologies in this field included recording patient treatment data, developing personalized treatment plans, monitoring treatment processes and outcomes, and evaluating therapeutic effects. In existing studies conducted in Asian regions, compared with traditional therapies, the Application and implementation of digital technologies in sarcopenia interventions for older adults can improve patients'muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function. Some studies suggest that digital technologies also provide certain benefits for patients'quality of life and activities of daily living. However, the clinical Application of digital technologies in sarcopenia interventions in this region remains exploratory. Future research requires longer-term, larger-scale clinical trials to further validate their effectiveness and generalizability.
