AAS (Age-Associated Sarcopenia)

Age-Associated Sarcopenia (AAS) is the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength, and function that occurs naturally as people age. It results from factors like hormonal changes, decreased physical activity, and nutritional shifts, leading to weaker muscles, reduced mobility, and increased risk of falls and fractures. While it’s a normal part of aging, its impact varies among individuals. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying active with resistance exercises, and managing health conditions can help slow its progression and preserve muscle health as people grow older.
