What is "sarcopenia"?

Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by the loss of muscle mass and strength, especially as a person ages. This can lead to weakness, reduced movement, and an increased risk of falls and fractures. Sarcopenia can be caused by various factors, including aging, inactivity, poor nutrition, and certain medical conditions. Treatment and prevention of sarcopenia typically involve regular physical activity, especially strength training exercises, along with a balanced diet rich in protein and nutrients to support muscle health.
