What is the ageing of Skeletal Muscles?

​

Sarcopenia​
Up till the age of 25, our muscles typically grow larger and stronger. However, past that age, the progressive loss of muscle mass and function starts to set in

​This age-related, progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass is a geriatric syndrome termed as “sarcopenia”
Implications of Sarcopenia
Individually, sarcopenia carries a large burden of disease, especially towards the elderlies. The implications associated with sarcopenia such as functional decline, loss of autonomy and a lowered quality of life generally causes the elderlies to be dependent

Additionally, Sarcopenia strains the healthcare budget and resources of a country.
