Abstract
⺠In the elderly, physical fitness-related phenotypes are highly heritable. ⺠There is controversy among candidate-gene studies due to numerous confounders. ⺠Most studies lack a replication cohort that would increase external validity. ⺠No 'unfavorable fitness genotype' candidate has been yet identified in the elderly. ⺠MSTN and related genes warrant further research owing to their role in muscle mass.
