Sarcopenia, what is it, what is the cause and what can you do about it?

Our muscles are vital. They allow us to move. From about the age of 30, the amount of muscle mass and strength decreases very slowly. In about 10 to 20% of the adult population, this process is faster. This is called sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is more common among older persons, but younger people can also suffer from sarcopenia.

thank you for an excellent and simple explanation of sarcopenia. This is a very underestimated illness that we all will experience when growing older. Very few people work hard enough to overcome scarcopenia.
