Physical Function In Elderly People Improved by Perindopril
A decline in physical function with age is strongly associated with disability in later life. Although regular exercise increases muscle strength and slows functional decline, the majority of elderly people are sedentary and either unwilling or unable to get adequate exercise. Alternative strategies to improve physical function are needed. Recent evidence suggests a potential role for angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in improving muscle function in elderly people.
