Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, is a gradual process that begins around age 30, worsening after 60. It results from factors like decreased physical activity, nutritional deficiencies, inflammation, and hormonal changes. This muscle decline can impair daily functions, increasing fatigue and fall risks. According to renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon, understanding the biology and impact of sarcopenia is crucial. He emphasizes measuring muscle mass to track health and promote proactive habits to mitigate these effects and enhance overall quality of life.
Understanding age-related muscle loss and actively working to prevent sarcopenia can significantly enhance wellness and independence as we age.
