Sarcopenia: How To Avoid It!
Sarcopenia refers to the gradual, age-related loss of
muscle and strength. After age 30, about 3 percent of body mass is lost every 10 years, especially with inactivity. A sedentary lifestyle greatly accelerates this process. Sarcopenia leaves you more susceptible to falls, fractures, and muscle injury. As you age, sarcopenia also makes it more difficult to perform everyday tasks. It is estimated that by age 80, sarcopenia affects 53 percent of men and 43 percent of women.
