Age-Related Sarcopenia

Age-related sarcopenia is the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength, and function that occurs as people get older. It results from a combination of factors, including hormonal changes, decreased physical activity, and muscle protein loss. This condition can lead to reduced mobility, increased risk of falls, and a decline in overall quality of life. Maintaining regular exercise, especially strength training, and a balanced diet with enough protein can help slow down the progression of sarcopenia and preserve muscle health with age.
